Biting like the winter chill that brought the mercury down to -7 F here in Western Connecticut the other morning, Demographic Winter – the coming population collapse – is hitting Connecticut. We’ve written about this before (see post here) and we agree with those who say that the entire developed world is headed for [...]

I actually couldn’t help laughing when I read about this – and I’m a pastor! In the fight to defend traditional values this story pretty much tells you how we got to where we are today.
After unknown persons, probably upset about California banning homosexual marriage, spray-painted swastikas on a San Francisco Catholic Church, the pastor [...]

Recommended to kick off your new year: some arguments for heterosexual marriage which are not religiously based. After all, some like to say that all truth is God’s truth; therefore, there must be some non-religious way to explain why marriage has always been heterosexual. Enter the Witherspoon Institute’s Patrick Lee:
In a well-ordered society, the state [...]

Proximity to New York may be making Greenwich the capital of gay marriage in the area, just as it made Greenwich the Powerball Mecca a few years back.
Since Nov. 12, when a state judge gave the final go-ahead for gay marriage, 26 same-sex couples have been married in Greenwich. That is more than the number [...]

A very interesting article in the Yale Herald explored the response of Christians to the recent decision of the Connecticut Supreme Court in Kerrigan v. Commissioner of Public Health, establishing a right to gay marriage in our State.  Writer Dennis Howe says Christians have sat silent but his article is also noteworthy for the revealing [...]

A reader writes with some concern asking what options pro-family forces have in Connecticut in the wake of the Kerrigan decision legalizing same-sex marriage:
Is there going to be an amendment or a vote that the public can make like in California to ban the same sex marriage here in Connecticut?  How do we ban it [...]

If you are a public official, the answer is clearly “no.”  Attorney-General Blumenthal has issued an opinion which recognizes gay marriage as being on a par with other civil rights, pursuant to the recent Supreme Court decision in the Kerrigan case.  Says Mr. Blumenthal:
Section 46b-22 does not impose a duty on persons authorized to perform [...]

Today was the first day of homosexual marriage in Connecticut, in case you missed it… the press is having a field day and there are reactions aplenty. An AP report brought us down to New Haven City Hall:
Outside City Hall in New Haven, bubbles and white balloons bounced in the chilly autumn air as [...]

As mentioned earlier, Connecticut voters refused to approve a Constitutional Convention which could have overturned gay marriage in our State.  California voters, dare I say owing to their greater familiarity with both the style and the substance of the homosexual activist movement, appear to have handed a tremendous victory to pro-family forces across the nations.  [...]
