By Ellen M. Rice VILNIUS, December 16, 2008 (LifeSiteNews) – An amendment that the Lithuanian Parliament added to its protection of minors statutes last week says that “public information that agitates for homosexual relations” causes “a detrimental effect on the development of minors” and “defies family values.” The story was largely ignored by the English speaking press, but the UK’s homosexual news source, Pink News, states that the homosexual rights group Tolerant Youth Association (TJA) believes the law will ban homosexual websites, films such as Brokeback Mountain, discos, exhibitions, demonstrations and other public events.  The law is set to be […]

By Ellen M. Rice BUDAPEST, Hungary, December 16, 2008 (LifeSiteNews.com) — Yesterday Hungary’s Constitutional Court struck down Parliament’s Domestic Partnership Act, which gave legal recognition to unmarried and same-sex partnerships, because the Act diminished the importance of true marriage. The Domestic Partnership Act, passed by parliament in 2007, was meant to give any couple the same rights as those enjoyed by married couples.  It gave heterosexual and homosexual couples next of kin status, taxation benefits, health care, inheritance, social security, pension and shared property rights.  It was set to take effect on January 1, 2009. The Hungarian Court says the […]

By Kathleen Gilbert NEW YORK, December 16, 2008 (LifeSiteNews.com) – Homosexual couples in much of New York who have been “married” out of state can now list both their names on children’s birth certificates.  While New York law does not allow same-sex unions to be called marriages, the new birth certificates follow Gov. David Paterson’s initiative to revamp New York law to extend more privileges to homosexuals.  In May, Paterson issued a directive to state agencies ordering them to respect out-of-state homosexual “marriages.” The state Health Department agreed to the change Friday in compliance with the lawsuit of a Canada-“wed” […]

By Thaddeus M. Baklinski December 16, 2008 (LifeSiteNews.com) – A surprising new document from UNICEF puts the spotlight on the possible fallout of the decreasing role of the family in raising young children, and the proliferation of daycare in affluent western nations. “What we are now witnessing across the industrialized world,” says the UNICEF report, “can fairly be described as a revolution in how the majority of young children are being brought up.” The report observes that “most children in the developed world are spending their earliest years in some form of care outside the home.” According to the organization, […]

By Kathleen Gilbert KALAMAZOO, Michigan, December 15, 2008 (LifeSiteNews.com) – Billboards proclaiming Bible verses against pornography, abortion, and homosexuality have popped up around the city of Kalamazoo, and their placement next door to offending establishments is sending the message with sniper precision. One billboard silently condemns two strip clubs across the way with the message: “Anyone that looks at a woman lustfully has already committed adultery with her in his heart. Matthew 5:28.” “Do not lie with a man as one lies with a woman: that is detestable. Leviticus 18:12,” proclaims a second billboard near two bars popular among homosexuals. […]
