UK Labor Leader: Faith Schools Must be Forced to Teach about Homosexuality
Andy Burnham at Liverpool Biennial 2008 Opening .
(Worthy News)-- Faith schools must be forced to teach about gay and lesbian relationships on a par with heterosexual couples, the Labour leadership front-runner Andy Burnham told The Telegraph.
The Shadow Health Secretary said those who argue that requiring all schools to teach about same-sex unions would be a threat to religious freedom were "straightforwardly wrong".
In an interview with PinkNews, the LGBT website, he added that the growth of academies and free schools was allowing individual schools to act as "judge and jury" to decide what they want to teach on such issues. --Source

...a sign of the times we live in. I wonder where we'll be in 5 more years. When you consider how far we've come in 11 years, when the first same-sex marriage ceremony took place in Massachusetts.
Lev 18:22 ‘You shall not lie with a male as one lies with a female; it is an abomination.
Lev 18:23 ‘Also you shall not have intercourse with any animal to be defiled with it, nor shall any woman stand before an animal to mate with it; it is a perversion.
Lev 18:24 ‘Do not defile yourselves by any of these things; for by all these the nations which I am casting out before you have become defiled.
Lev 18:25 ‘For the land has become defiled, therefore I have brought its punishment upon it, so the land has spewed out its inhabitants.
Lev 18:26 ‘But as for you, you are to keep My statutes and My judgments and shall not do any of these abominations, neither the native, nor the alien who sojourns among you
Lev 18:27 (for the men of the land who have been before you have done all these abominations, and the land has become defiled);
Lev 18:28 so that the land will not spew you out, should you defile it, as it has spewed out the nation which has been before you.
Lev 18:29 ‘For whoever does any of these abominations, those persons who do so shall be cut off from among their people.
Lev 18:30 ‘Thus you are to keep My charge, that you do not practice any of the abominable customs which have been practiced before you, so as not to defile yourselves with them; I am the LORD your God.’”
They already do teach about homosexuality - that it IS an abomination!
Good answer. I hope that is what they teach since so many have strayed from the faith.
I hope that is what they teach since so many have strayed from the faith. But that was a good answer.
This is the same kind of unrighteous zeal which tormented respectable gays and lesbians (those who did not flaunt, who kept their "orientation" private) in the Victorian era. It was extreme then, and it is extreme now, to the other side. Both are/were wrong.
Interesting. I pondered just the other day how ISIS came in as an (the) evil flood that it was on one side (and South) of our planet, just as the homosexual thing flooded the "western" world. Both are continuing which is very worrisome. How different yet totally evil they both are. It's been my experience that concerning evils, they come in two's (at least) and we humans most often see only one side, not both, until we are hit blind side too, because they are so differently manifesting. For some reason, Satan has been loosed (allowed) to do both these things. Personal righteousnes (only) by the shed blood of God's Word come in the flesh, Y'shua (Jesus) is as paramount now as it ever was. Esp. if you have family members who count on you.
The religious leaders can't decide what to teach in a private religious school. Instead Andy Burnham believes he (government) should be judge and jury to decide what can be taught in a private religious school.
This is just another reminder that Christians have to make the same choice the Apostles made: obey God or man. And a sign that we are rapidly approaching the time when there will be a cost associated with that choice.
Let me teach a few classes ! First off to be in your sin and stand before a holy God on Judgement Day is a most terrible thing , and to be Homosexual at that time is not going to be rainbows !
How in the world did this happen , Its not only impossible for gays to marry in the physical and spiritual ,as it is between male and female , How did it ever get that far to redefine marriage ?
Gotta wonder on the intelligence level here ! Thousands of years of consent to what marriage is , has been deleted , They will never have the right to be wrong !
Consider the damage to the children if taught this , if they cannot produce children on their own , they do not deserve to have someone elses child , chances are the child will not come out normal but perverted . A child needs both parents male and female to be properly raised .
Then without any biblical sexual guidance they become little whoremongerers themselves and perish in their sins, often at an early age. I've seen it myself in my own family. This is what the homosexuals want. They want everyone to ignore God's laws and live strictly for pleasure in this world, especially in regards to sex. But as we know this world isn't all there is. There will be a Judgment, and as someone else said it won't be rainbows.
I believe the Bible is the word of God so, therefore, I believe what it says about homosexuality; those who practice will not inherit the kingdom. What bothers me is that it says the same thing about fornication, adultery, lying, drunkenness, etc. I see people living together in fornication and condemning gays. The morals of this day and age are going to bring us all down, I just don't know what the lawmakers are thinking regarding this change in the definition of marriage. It will open the door to sooooo many different things. Polygamy, beastiality, and pedophilia to name just a few. The gays say love is love. So do these others. Where will the line be drawn?? Here's a thought. Let's draw it where God did since we will be judged by what is written in His word.
Susan you are right , the real moral decay I believe began with the sexual revolution and the feminist movement in the sixties and seventies , fornication is whoredom and whoremongers , premartial sex is not ok . It also produced adultery in society on a large scale. Then later came the breakdown of the marriages and in the churches , a result of adultery and the women fighting for their rights causing conflict in marriage . The men became are no longer the head of the home , so the home was destroyed and also disobedient children the result of lack of Godly order in the home and church etc. Now today Marriage its self is destroyed . The degradation began back in the sixties with the hippy movement perhaps , with free love . Now today is free love but with out any laws . And it will get worse . The rejection of the word of God is where it all began as I see it .
But some are faithful to the word of God , and we shall see the fall of the wicked . It all just proves the faithfulness of the word of God.
