Issachar Gazette: Common Sense in an Age of Vain Ideology
Abre mis ojos
The CEO of Chick-fil-A, an american fast food company supports traditional marriage and in an age where other chains like Starbucks declare their support for same-sex marriage (SSM), its CEO Dan Cathy said:
“I think we are inviting God’s judgment on our nation when we shake our fist at Him and say, ‘We know better than you as to what constitutes a marriage,’” Cathy said on the Ken Coleman Show. “I pray God’s mercy on our generation that has such a prideful, arrogant attitude to think we can try to define what marriage is all about.”
For supporting traditional marriage, the Boston Mayor Thomas Menino and the Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel has basically vowed to keep Chick-fil-A from coming to their cities. Bigots. Christophobia in practice.
When Chick-a-fil donated lunches to a healthy marriage seminar, gay activists took exception and urged liberals to boycott the restaurant. Economic pressures from the Hard, Radical Left. Their bullying tactics are well known.

Former Lesbian Janet Boynes argues we must speak out for righteousness against the normalisation of homosexuality, and warns that "we are going to be despised and targeted."
As Christians, we have to get used to the fact that, in the case of same-sex marriage, militant homosexuals and their fellow travelers will not tolerate anyone who suggests that their sinful lifestyle is anything but normal and worthy of celebration. If we stand up and declare that homosexuality is sinful—and make no mistake: We Must!—we are going to be despised and targeted.
I understand well the cost of taking a public stand. As a person who lived a homosexual lifestyle for 14 years before being set free by the blood of Jesus, I know the process by which these activists will try to destroy and defame anyone who opposes their agenda. The very fact that I boldly declare a person can be set free from this bondage makes me a special target of their rage.
Plain and simple, the homosexual activist community will not tolerate any opinion that challenges their lifestyle, that opposes same-sex marriage and that invites those enchained in same-sex attraction to step into freedom and deliverance through Christ.
There is no common ground between darkness and light, and—like Dan Cathy has demonstrated—the church must be willing to stand and declare the truth with clarity and compassion, and be prepared for the resulting backlash.

As someone wisely observed: I think the moment someone chooses to be wimpy, there's a strange blinding effect on their eyes and ears and mind.
We all have the duty to speak Truth to Power, actively.
