MassResistance Supports Resolution Against Unjust SCOTUS Same-Sex "Marriage" Decision (North Dakota)

My name is Arthur Schaper, and I am the Field Director for MassResistance. We are an international pro-family group that fights for natural marriage, life, and family. It is a great honor to speak out once again in favor of this necessary and proper resolution to restore natural marriage, particularly the authority of the states and the people to define marriage, not the federal government.

Many of the arguments that you will hear in favor of this Resolution have stressed the unconstitutionality of the Obergefell decision—and they are correct. The Supreme Court itself had declared that the power to define marriage rests with the states and the people in US v Windsor.  The Tenth Amendment is clear that all powers not enumerated to the federal government belong to the states and the people.

Another essential point is that two of the Supreme Court justices were not impartial triers of law, having officiated same-sex weddings in the past. They should have recused themselves, and the decision would have gone against so-called same-sex “marriage.”

However, I want to refute the many arguments that you have already heard or read in opposition to this resolution. Many of you have endured the pleadings of so-called same-sex “married” couples. You have heard from corrupted religious leaders who do not adhere to the basic teachings of their faith, which in reality clearly affirm that marriage is a covenant relationship of one man and one woman. Their arguments are based on falsehoods and misreading of their religious texts, and thus hold no relevance to this discussion.

I want to point out that the Supreme Court decision Obergefell v Hodges is one of the most illogical and untenable decisions imposed by the United States Supreme Court.

First, the notion of two men or two women marrying is an “impossibility.” Just because five judges decided to arbitrarily change a definition does not mean that they can. The court could declare that 2 + 2 = 5, but that is not the case.

Second, homosexuals who want to play pretend will talk about the thousands of so-called rights that they will lose if they are not “married.” However, they had no business being allowed to marry in the first place. They can marry someone of the opposite sex because marriage has always been the union of a man and a woman, for that is the only coupling that can sire and rear children.

Third, social policy cannot be defined or determined merely by the emotional pleadings of others. We have to think about the best interests of all, not just the selfish desires of a few.

Furthermore, I want to point out that the Supreme Court decision Obergefell v Hodges is one of the most unjust decisions imposed by the United States Supreme Court.

Redefining marriage to remove recognition of the distinctions of sex means that mothers and fathers become optional. The truth is that children need their mother and their father as much as possible. It is wrong to fundamentally undermine an institution to make some adults happy while harming all children. From the Heritage Foundation report “No Differences No More” to recent studies conducted by Dr. Paul Sullins, it is clear that children suffer multiple deficits when raised by same-sex couples as opposed to natural couples.

Following Obergefell, we now see an industry that treats children as commodities that can be created like dolls and trafficked to selfish adults who want to play parent. We see two men or two women who want to affirm themselves while ignoring the needs of the children.

Following Obergefell, we have seen an increase in confused men who now think they are women, invading women’s sports, spaces, and very identity. This is no surprise following the Obergefell decision because if sex does not matter when it comes to the proper definition of marriage, why would it matter anywhere else? Yet today, most Americans recognize that it is unjust to erase women as well as to erase motherhood.

It’s also unjust to trap people further in the lie that people are “born that way,” which has happened because of this false redefinition of marriage imposed by Obergefell. There is no gay gene. There is no evidence that people are born in the wrong body. In fact, it is a crime against nature to teach anyone, young or old, that they are born homosexual or transgender. These patterns of behavior are inherently harmful to individuals, and they should not be granted a privileged status in “marriage.” Two men cannot consummate a marriage. Penetration of the anus is not just a misuse of organs, but it’s a dangerous act which has hastened the spread of venereal disease. Multiple epidemiological studies have affirmed this disgusting reality.

Obergefell is also unjust because it imposes this lie that it is some act of bigotry not to allow people who are attracted to the same sex their supposed “right to marry.” How many churches, charities, and small businesses have been persecuted because they won’t bake the cake or provide some other service for a gay wedding? How many hard-working mothers and fathers have been fired from their jobs because they refused to celebrate or support homosexuality or transgenderism? All of these abuses have only increased since the imposition of Obergefell. That is wrong.

Much like the Korematsu decision, which upheld the unjust internment of Japanese-Americans, or Plessy v Ferguson, which upheld segregation against people of color, the decision Obergefell v Hodges has undermined individual liberties, harmed our cultural and natural cohesion, and targeted vulnerable groups in the United States: children, mothers and fathers, and our communities.

Martin Luther King Jr. declared: “The arc of history is long, but it bends towards justice.”

It is time to restore justice: for children, for parents, for communities, for faith, family, and freedom. And for the record, I must remind this audience that Martin Luther King Jr. recognized that homosexuality was not a lifestyle to celebrate, certainly within a redefinition of marriage, but a mental health problem born out of abuse, dysfunction, or neglect that needed treatment.

Again, it is unjust to fundamentally undermine a necessary institution for the rearing of children, the cohesion of society, and the well-being of public health.

It is unjust to persecute people, whether of faith or common sense, who don’t want to recognize the lie of so-called same-sex marriages.

It is unjust to ignore and flout the laws of nature, which clearly indicate that it takes a male and female to procreate, and that no individual is born with self-harming tendencies like homosexuality or transgenderism.

Committee, you have the opportunity not only to stand for what is right, but for what is just. Please Support this Resolution.

Statement of Field Director of MassResistance on Idaho HJM1, Resolution Against Obergefell

My name is Arthur Schaper, and I am the Field Director for MassResistance, the international pro0family group that makes the difference.

On behalf of our activists throughout the beautiful State of Idaho, I want to express my gratitude to State Rep. Heather Scott and her colleagues for hearing this common-sense, straightforward Resolution Against Obergefell v. Hodges.

For too long, the United States Supreme Court has made decisions and imposed rulings that it did not have the right, authority, or even the power to implement.

First of all, two of the justices who weighed in on this decision had officiated so-called same-sex “weddings.” They were not impartial triers of fact or law, and they should have recused themselves.

Second, United States v. Windsor, a previous Supreme Court ruling, clearly established that legislation regarding marriage is not one of the enumerated powers in Article One, Section Eight of the United States Constitution. Obergefell never addressed that issue properly.

Third, The Tenth Amendment is germane to this discussion, and the Supreme Court should have respected the Constitution and respected the power to define and enforce marriage contracts to the several states and the people.

Fourth, our constitutional republic is based on common law, and for centuries, marriage has been recognized as the union of one man and one woman. The Supreme Court had neither the right nor the reason to undermine the fundamental tenets of Anglo-American jurisprudence when they issued their poor decision.

Other problems with Obergefell include its disturbing precedent that liberty and human dignity are gifts only bestowed by the state. Nothing could be further in conflict with our Constitutional norms or our Founding principles. The rights of men come from God, not the government, as declared in the Declaration of Independence. They are not gifts that must depend on the government or the state to be distributed. Such a flawed legal theory will only invite more government tyranny at the expense of the rights of the states and the American people.

Some will argue that revisiting and overturning Obergefell v Hodges would also mean preventing interracial couples from marrying. Nothing could be further from the truth. People are born of diverse ethnic or racial backgrounds. However, there is no evidence that individuals are born homosexual, and therefore such acts are behaviors, not identities. They are not civil rights.

Furthermore, in the ten years since Obergefell was imposed on the United States, an abundance of research has come forward indicating that children do indeed need their mother and their father. One of the poor reasons one of the justices gave to support redefining marriage was that he didn’t want children not to have their parents. But Marriage as an institution is not just about the husband and the wife, but about the rearing of children and the basic cultural underpinnings which make civilization possible. Children need mothering and fathering, not just mere parenting.

The State of Idaho should be commended for taking this bold stance, and I urge the House State Affairs Committee to support this Resolution.

The Mainstream Pro-Family Movement Has Failed

 

For decades, we have witnessed the slow but steady encroachment of the LGBT Agenda and its militant activists demanding special privileges. The normalization of homosexuality has become all too pervasive in our culture, and with it transgenderism. Now this perverse agenda is targeting children on an open, daily basis.

Sodom and Gomorrah has gone from the bedroom, to the boardroom, to the public square. It’s no longer about two consenting adults in private. It’s about forcing adults to consent to this agenda in public.

It has gotten so bad, that even now Republicans, the so-called pro-family party, has begun caving to the destruction of marriage and the normalization of homosexuality and transgenderism.

How did this happen? How did it get this bad, and why has the mainstream pro-family movement failed to stop all this perversion?

Most people are not aware of this, but there were two Republican Congressmen who admitted that they were homosexual shortly after Republicans took back the House of Representatives, the first time in forty years. Instead of removing them from the caucus, Newt Gingrich let them stay, and he refused to take a stand on the issue.

From there, the Republican party continued its narrow attachment to individual liberty, without any foundation in national identity or moral security. Conservatism became a watered-down fusionism of limited government and individual liberty as the two core values. However, liberty and limited government alone cannot conservative a culture, and those principles cannot protect the family or the children.

And from here, we can point out why the mainstream pro-family movement has failed over the last thirty years to stop this false marriage, false gender identity agenda. The pro-family movement never wanted to call out the inherent debauchery and destruction associated with homosexuality and transgenderism. They never wanted to take a firm stance for truth, for fear of sounding bigoted or homophobic.

They fell back on two weak arguments to defend marriage:  tradition and religious freedom.

These are the weakest arguments. Religious liberty or religious adherence in the past was used to justify all kinds of unbiblical principles and stances. Tradition alone can never serve as an argument, either, since it was tradition to enslave certain groups of people. Technological innovation naturally undermines certain traditions as well.

And yet, this past week, I have seen eblast after eblast from mainstream pro-family groups decrying the “Respect for Marriage Act” forcing its way through the United States Senate. They are talking about the potential harms to religious liberty, and how this legislation will open the door to polygamy.

Those arguments may have some truth, but they are not substantive or substantial. The mainstream pro-family movement has failed because they have refused to advance the following arguments and attack the proponents of false marriage and false identities notwithstanding:

1.       Homosexuality and transgenderism are mental illness, not benign forms of identity. These behaviors result from abuse, neglect, confusion, and/or molestation. Normalizing these behaviors only enables these harms all the more.

2.       No one is born homosexual or born in the wrong body. There is nothing loving or compassionate about enabling confusion.

3.       Marriage is not just about the two adults, but about the children. Children need their mother and father, their natural parents, in a natural marriage. Anything else deprives children of their basic needs and harms them for the long-term, according to numerous health and wellness metrics.

4.       What consenting adults do in private has public consequences. Hiding behind the argument of “Live and Let Live,” or “Let’s just protect everyone’s liberty” has created this power-based stalemate, in which the more virulent actors with more money and more sympathy from the public will in. Hence, homosexual and transgender activists have been stomping on the pro-family competition for a long time.

5.       No one has had the courage to call out the malevolence of this whole agenda, poisoning kids and putting pressure on adults to abandon their natural rights and their constitutional liberties. This is not a chess game, but a street fight, and to this day the LGBT forces are shoving the chessboard up the pro-family movement’s ass.

It’s time to stand for truth, it’s time for a total offense in this culture war—and only MassResistance has the rhetoric, the record, and the results to get this done.

Passing the Piers Morgan Test: How to Fight for Natural Marriage

Ryan Anderson of the Heritage Foundation
failed the Piers Morgan test miserably

Pro-family forces have had a bad record when it comes to making their case for the pro-marriage cause.

The biggest example of this occured with Piers Morgan when he confronted one of the spokesmen for the Heritage Foundation.

He asked a very basic question: "Why does the marriage of these two women (or two men) affect you? Why is that a problem for you?"

Many pro-family groups have utterly failed on this point. They have not rightfully or rigorously thought through all the issues, the ups and downs when it comes to defending natural marriage. For too long, pro-family forces in particular and conservatives in general have fallen back on one of three talking points to defend their views on natural marriage:

1. I just believe that marriage is for one man and one woman.

2. It's tradition, and we should not trifle with tradition.

3. I oppose same-sex marriage because of my faith

All of these answers do not work. Most people who fight for false marriage do not care about God, religion, or tradition. Worse yet, many so-called churches and other religious institutions are caving on LGBT issues, celebrating false marriages and fake adoptions. It is disturbing how many mainline Christian denominations have caved on the normalization of homosexuality and transgenderism.

No real answers have been offered to rebuff the nonsensical arguments pressing for the normalization of sexual perversion.

For the last year, I have been studying this issue extensively, working to set up proper research and understanding so that every pro-family activist can argue for natural marriage, natural parenting, and the proper rearing of children.

And that's the first point: it's about the children.

Children need their parents, but more specifically they need their biological mother and father. Sex is not a purely private matter, and neither is marriage. The whole institution of marriage in large part is about the kids! Too many pro-family activists, including the speakers who have debated this issue with Piers Morgan and other liberal propagandist pundits, have ignored or neglected the damage caused by depriving children of their natural parents.

So, next time a liberal loony presses you on false marriage, fire back with the following: "So, you want to deprive children of their parents. If marriage can be anything and anyone, then parents become optional. You want to deprive children of their mother and their father. That is wrong."

But then go one step further.

For too long, the pro-family movement has been to reticent, shy, even cowardly about pointing out some harsh truths about the origins of homosexual conduct. Yet the behaviors are inherently harmful, destructive, and degrading. Furthermore, pro-family activists by and large refuse to discuss the causes of these behaviors. Why do individuals start developing an attraction to the same sex?

In every instance, one will find one or more of the following causes:

1. Abuse

2. Neglect

3. Confusion

4. Molestation

The fact is that homosexuals and transgenders are victims. They have been terribly harmed, filled with lies and deceit from a world that virtue-signals off their plight.

It is essential to call out anyone who claims to be an LGBT ally that they are in fact pro-abuse, neglect, confusion, and molestation, too.

It's about more than religious sentiment. It's about the creation of families, and it's about mental health. Most importantly, it's essential that we point out the truth:

1. People are not born that way.

2. The behaviors are not normal or ideal.

3. Children do not learn at a young age that they are LGBT.

Marriage Still Matters for GOP Voters: Wisconsin Governor's Race

Election 2022 Wisconsin Gubernatorial Election
Tony Evers v. Tim Michels

The Wisconsin Governor's race is a prime opportunity for Republicans to take back a key state trifecta, ensure strong election integrity reforms, and restore a state back to the GOP column.

The governor's race seemed like a basic fight between the GOP establishment and the MAGA set.

But there was so much more to this fight than conservatives may realize.

The two man competitors for the GOP nomination were previous Lieutenant Governor Rebecca Kleefisch and business owner Tim Michels.

One key issue that separated the two candidates? The issue on false marriage.

Rebecca Kleefisch, who was endorsed by former Governor Scott Walker, Mike Pence, and Ted Cruz, announced that she had caved on the issue of family and natural marriage.

Consider this report:

Kleefischsupports upholding access to birth control, gay marriage as some fear rollbackof civil liberties

MILWAUKEE (CBS 58) -- Republican candidate for governor Rebecca Kleefisch will uphold freedoms to access birth control and same-sex marriage if elected as some fear those rights could be at risk if the U.S. Supreme Court overturns Roe v. Wade.

"Freedom" to birth-control is not freedom, but rather license. The same for false marriage, incorrectly termed "same-sex marriage."

In an interview with CBS 58, Kleefisch said she would not seek to prohibit access to birth control, IUDs and emergency contraception such as Plan B.

"No, birth control will not be illegal when I'm governor of the state of Wisconsin," Kleefisch said.

There is no state law which forbids the use of those items, anyway. Such questions are just ridiculous.

Views on Gay Marriage

Kleefisch, the former lt. governor, said she supports gay marriage and added her views have changed over the years on the issue. In 2010, Kleefisch said gay marriage could lead to people marrying dogs or inanimate objects, remarks she later apologized for.

Her views have "changed." Really? No, her cowardly push for political expediency pressed her to give up on this singular cultural issue.

"This is in the past and I think it needs to be left there," she said. "I am in the same place that I would say as a vast majority of Wisconsinites and Americans are. My opinion has changed…gay marriage will be legal when I am governor of Wisconsin."

No, the vast majority of Americans do not share her view on false marriage. And even if they did, the truth does not change and we need leaders at the state and federal level with the courage of their convictions to fight for faith and family, not just freedom.

Kleefisch's position is in contrast to her GOP primary opponent, Tim Michels, who believes marriage should be between a man and woman.

Yes!

Wisconsin's 2006 ban on same-sex marriage would go back into effect if the Supreme Court were to reverse its ruling that legalized gay marriage in the U.S.

That's an outcome which many pro-family forces should be striving for!

So, what about Mr. Michels, specially? How did the media attempt to spin and shame his noble stance on natural marriage and the family?

Tim Michels Opposes Marriage Equality

Republican nominee for Governor Tim Michels is standing by his 2004 opposition to same sex marriage in his bid to lead the state in 2022.

That's the kind of leadership conservatives want to see, and what voters need to see across the country.

At the time of his failed 2004 run for the United States Senate, Michels supported a constitutional amendment defining marriage as between one man and one woman, which would have prevented marriage equality from becoming law in 2015.

"Marriage equality" is another misleading statement. Marriage is about submission and honor, not a chronic demand for fifty-fifty equity. Imagine what a terrible relationship that would be if a man and woman insisted on balancing out how much they gave and took from each other!

To be fair, Michels was not alone in his opposition to marriage equality in 2004. But public opinion about, and support for, marriage equality has blossomed in the last 18 years as millions of Americans changed their mind.

"Blossomed"? More like "mushroomed" or "metastasized."

Not Michels. In an interview with the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel Michels responded to a question about whether or not he would seek to ban same-sex marriage by stating that he believed marriage belongs to opposite sex couples.

Good.

That extreme belief puts Michels at odds with the overwhelming majority of Wisconsinites, more than 70% of whom support marriage equality.

No, this is not extreme. I sincerely doubt the current statistics, and much of the confusion amounts to the fact that the pro-family movement has not done an effective job (so far) of showing the short-term and long-term consequences to homosexual conduct, false marriage, and fake adoptions on individuals, families, and society as a whole.

It also sets up a clear divide on a fundamental civil rights question of our time. Democratic Governor Tony Evers was the first Wisconsin governor to raise the pride flag over the State Capitol during Pride Month and supports marriage equality.

That clear divide made things all too clear for GOP primary voters, and they lined up behind Michels. Good for them

Final Reflection

The fight to restore natural marriage is not over. The corrupt corporate media wants to give off this false impression that the whole country has moved on and all of us just need to roll over and accept that "marriage equality" is the law of land.

First of all, it's never been the law of the land, but rather a legal fiction because of judicial overreach. Thirty-five states (including California), still maintain statutes or constitutional amendments which recognize marriage as an institution between one man and one woman. When Obergefell gets struck down, then the several states which have rightly defined natural marriage will be able to restore that definition and enforcement within their jurisdiction.

We need more gubernatorial candidates like Tim Michels, and voters should expect our leaders to stand up for what is right, change polls, and shape the culture back to the right and righteous norms that Make America Great.

MassResistance: Fighting the LGBT Infiltration of the Southern Baptist Church

This is a must-read, the latest from MassResistance President Brian Camenker. The destructive, anti-reality, unbiblical LGBT movement is now hustling its way into churches and into larger denomination leadership groups.

This cannot be allowed to continue. We need to expose this corrupt, hateful, un-Christlike abuse of power at all levels.

We also need more activists at every level and in every church community taking the strongest stands possible to assert the truth and teach that "Some were some of you".

MassResistance Texas activists continue fight to stop LGBT infiltration into Southern Baptist denomination

Pro-family Resolution at Southern Baptist Convention blocked

Disturbing connections to LGBT activism

… But compromising church leaders are now being exposed

July 10, 2018    By Brian Camenker

In April 2017, Rev. Tom Littleton of Alabama gave a chilling talk on “How the LGBT movement is infiltrating conservative churches” at the MassResistance Citizen Action Conference in Austin, TX. For over a decade, he pointed out, the national LGBT movement has been funding a multi-million-dollar under-the-radar subversive campaign in Southern states to push the homosexual movement into conservative Christian churches. And they’ve been shockingly successful.  

But an even bigger goal has been to infiltrate and subvert the overall Southern Baptist Convention (SBC), the largest Christian denomination in the South and the second largest in North America (after the Catholic Church). This year that goal has become frighteningly closer to reality. The events surrounding the 2018 Southern Baptist Convention’s annual meeting, held June 12-13 in Dallas, shocked many conservatives.

Events surrounding the 2018 SBC annual meeting

Purging of Dr. Paige Patterson. A few weeks before the SBC annual meeting, the de facto conservative leader of the Southern Baptist movement, Dr. Paige Patterson, was abruptly fired from his position as president of the Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary by its board. He was subsequently removed from all influence in the denomination, including his keynote speech at the annual meeting. This followed a hysteria-driven, well-orchestrated effort over several months to discredit him for alleged misconduct decades ago. It’s hard to know if the charges were legitimate. He was not given a hearing, nor was his side of the story even sought before judgment was made. Over two dozen major donors to the Seminary sent this well-documented, strongly worded letter expressing their disgust at the corrupt and illegal way that Dr. Patterson was treated. But the board refused to reconsider their actions.

SBC elects new leader who is “accommodating” to homosexuality. At the annual meeting, the SBC overwhelmingly elected J.D. Greear, a moderate pastor who caters to millennials, to be the new president of the denomination. As Bryan Fischer of American Family Radio points out, Greear often goes out of his way to be accommodating to homosexuality in his messages. Greear has told his congregation to “love our gay neighbor more than we love our position on sexual morality” – which seems to many to be completely un-Biblical.

Powerful resolution on LGBT issues submitted at Convention.Dr. Robert Oscar Lopez is the leader of Texas MassResistance and a professor at the Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary in Ft. Worth. As the Convention began,Dr. Lopez and a group of other Baptist Texas MassResistance activists submitted a powerful resolution on LGBT issues titled On Ministry and Counseling to Lead People from Homosexuality to Heterosexuality.

The resolution basically reiterated fairly standard Christian teaching on homosexuality: Among other things: No one is “born gay” and “cannot change”; To say “I am gay” is a rejection of God’s design. It states: "RESOLVED, the Southern Baptist Convention rejects as heresy any claims that God makes people homosexual..." It went on to say that reparative therapy and similar efforts to free a person from the grip of homosexuality should be supported by the SBC.

Resolution quashed by Convention leadership. Some “moderate” SBC leaders have been on record as opposing any kind of reparative therapy. The Convention adopted over a dozen left-leaning and Social Justice-type resolutions (on gun control, immigration, etc.). Lopez's resolution was the only one submitted which addressed the LGBT movement’s push against orthodox Christianity. The Resolutions Committee refused to allow it to go to the floor for a vote, claiming that it needed “more clarification.” However, on the last day one of the Texas MassResistance activists was able to come to the podium to speak. He began to call for this resolution to be voted on, but the Chairman interrupted him and announced that the Convention time was over and adjourned the meeting!

Troubling “Revoice” Conference – ties to SBC? Another dangerous component of the LGBT movement’s war on Christianity is the upcoming “Revoice Conference”taking place in St. Louis on July 26-28. It is a slick, well-funded effort targeting Evangelical Christians, to encourage them to accept and embrace homosexuality into their religious life. The stated goal is: “Supporting, encouraging, and empowering gay, lesbian, same-sex-attracted, and other LGBT Christians so they can flourish while observing the historic, Christian doctrine of marriage and sexuality.” In other words, it is three days of expert training to equip LGBT activists and their allies to infiltrate Evangelical churches to normalize homosexuality and subvert the teachings of the Gospel. (In addition to all this, the organizers of “Revoice” have a similar conference in October targeting youth pastors to bring the LGBT agenda to church youth.)

Even more troubling is that a number of so-called conservative Southern Baptist Christian leaders have bought into the “Revoice” conference. This article, Trusted SBC and PCA Seminaries Producing LGBTQ Activists, is particularly jarring.

Rev. Tom Littleton forcefully thrown out of convention. Since last year’s MassResistance speech, Rev. Littleton has been prolific in exposing the LGBT agenda permeating the upper echelons of the Southern Baptist Convention. This has clearly angered the guilty parties and their allies. Rev. Littleton attended the SBC annual meeting as a member of the press (not as a church representative) specifically to find out about the ties between SBC leaders and the Revoice conference.

On the first day, June 12, Rev. Littleton caught up with two major SBC leaders, Russell Moore and Al Mohler. Moore denied any knowledge of Revoice (after being informed of it the previous day), and Mohler allowed him to ask some questions -- but then their handlers quickly shooed him away. The following day, just before Moore's question-and-answer session at the podium, Rev. Littleton was suddenly thrown out of the building by the police. Why is there so much secrecy around this issue? This is very disturbing to many conservatives in the church.

Dr. Lopez escalates fight to “Save our Churches”

Most Southern Baptists are completely unaware about the forces that are working to infiltrate their denomination, and the trusted church leaders who are shamelessly compromising Biblical teachings to allow them in. Since the SBC annual meeting, Dr. Lopez has written some illuminating articles and appeared on Christian radio. Here is a sample:

“Sleazy Sex Games and Dirty Politics in the Southern Baptist Convention” – American Thinker, June 19

“Beyond Friendship: LGBT Issues and the Next Stage of Discernment”(written with Rev. Littleton) [NOTE: scroll down for the article]

Dr. Lopez is also planning an exciting new regular MassResistance video program devoted to this subject, tentatively titled “Save Our Churches!” He’s hoping to begin it this month. Watch for more information on that.

This could happen in your church – if it isn’t already happening

The LGBT movement is obsessed with destroying traditional Judeo-Christian belief, and is using its vast resources to infiltrate and subvert churches everywhere. They use very sophisticated techniques. Unfortunately, many church leaders are easy targets for them. It’s happening in one way or another across America – and all over the world. And most good people don’t even realize it until it’s too late, and feel helpless. But MassResistance is devoted to helping all of you fight back!

Rev. Tom Littleton speaking at last year's MassResistance Texas conference. He has done incredibly valuable work exposing the LGBT agenda infiltrating Southern conservative churches, including the Southern Baptists.

The LGBT Wall is Coming Down: Bermuda Overturns Gay Marriage

The liberal media sites are really starting to get triggered. After the 2015 United Supreme Court Decision on gay marriage, most pro-family advocates feared the worst. The highest court in the land fundamentally altered the fundamental institution of our culture. The liberal press, academia, and entertainment industries were convinced of their consummate LGBT victory.

But this agenda is destructive.

Without Dads and Moms, without family, the whole civil order of our nation, of any nation disintegrates. The values, the ideas, the cultural norms which hold a country together erode until there is nothing left but raw power and a war of all against all.

Don't believe me? Read the histories of ancient Greco-Roman historian Polybius. When rampant homosexuality and other forms of license were permitted without check in those city-states, children were born to broken or non-existent families. Poverty increased, since single mothers have far less economic wealth than a two-parent home. Children without fathers turned to marauding gangs and terrorized neighborhoods. Eventually the Greek cities imploded and disappeared.


Families matter, marriage matters, and gay marriage is an onslaught on God's natural order and His goodness. It's also a stunning, devastating attack on our children and the future of any country. 
Now the good news.

In the little island nation of Bermuda, which exists as part of the British Commonwealth, the country's legislature and Governor took the extraordinary steps of overruling their own Supreme Court.

They struck down gay marriage!

They repealed it, as the perverse agenda had been imposed by judicial activist fiat.
National Public Radio reports:

Less than a year after legalizing same-sex marriage, Bermuda is reversing course, implementing a law that says same-sex couples can enter domestic partnerships but not marry.
The British territory is believed to be the first jurisdiction in the world to reverse course on same-sex marriage after permitting it, The Guardian writes.

In May 2017, Bermuda's Supreme Court legalized same-sex marriage. Within months, the island's legislature passed a bill overturning that court decision, which was signed into law on Wednesday.

The Guardian is unabashedly center-left. Anyone can predict that they were going to throw a hysterical, heretical fit over this development.

Here's part of their account:

Walton Brown, Bermuda’s minister of home affairs, said the legislation signed by Governor John Rankin would balance opposition to same-sex marriage on the socially conservative island while complying with European court rulings that ensure recognition and protection for same-sex couples in the territory.

Am I happy with the country's accommodation of a secular European standard on equality? No. I am pleased, however, that a nation-state was not afraid to reject a corrupt redefinition of marriage, something which should have never happened, and certainly not through the arbitrary determination of a court.

Bermuda’s Senate and House of Assembly passed the legislation by wide margins in December and a majority of voters opposed same-sex marriage in a referendum.

Both parties found common ground on defending family.

“The act is intended to strike a fair balance between two currently irreconcilable groups in Bermuda, by restating that marriage must be between a male and a female while at the same time recognizing and protecting the rights of same-sex couples,” said Brown, whose ruling Progressive Labour party proposed the repeal.

What's really striking about this political outcome, though, is that the Progressive Labour Party is considered the center-left political force in the country, and yet they embrace social conservatism and led the fight to repeal gay marriage.

Bermuda Rejects Gay Marriage

This development is really something. The country actually repealed gay marriage! It can be done.


Another Caribbean newspaper reported other key details about this repeal:

The approval was welcomed by Brown, who said this British Overseas Territory would “continue to live up to its well-earned reputation as a friendly and welcoming place”.

 Nations should fight to show that they embrace God's natural order and welcome His grand design for life, marriage, and family.

The bill was debated by the House of Commons in London last month when Labour MP Chris Bryant, a former Overseas Territories Minister who is openly gay, called on Bermuda Premier David Burt and Brown to withdraw the legislation banning same-sex marriages in Bermuda.

Despite pressure from London politicians, the Bermuda government went through with the repeal. This is also good news, indicated that an attempt to force the LGBT agenda into every facet of private life is starting to lose steam. Perhaps the rising tide of Islamic extremism and moral decline in the British Commonwealth has refocused political priorities. How about the growing underclass of children struggling to survive and thrive in their own country?

Bryant, who admitted that he had been told to “butt out” in some of the messages he had received, told the Commons that there had been eight same-sex marriages in Bermuda and a further four banns published.

I liken this movement to the first break in the gay marriage evil empire, much like the cracks in the Berlin Wall when Germans on both sides of the artificial divide realized that the communist Soviet Union was collapsing, and there was nothing that the violent Soviet Politburu could do about it.
I can't wait to see more countries reverse course.

Homosexuals may agitate for some kind of recognize for their their artificial couplings, but they can never call their perversion "marriage". This is a small step towards victory, though, since more average citizens need to be informed about the deleterious consequences of homosexual behavior and the dissolution of marriage. The population bust, the proliferation of venereal diseases, the emotional and mental problems for younger generations who do not have stable homes: all of these issues must be brought out for the public to know.

For now, let's rest in the knowledge that one country stood up to its own supreme court and reversed the destructive, regressive redefinition of marriage!

Will other countries follow suit and stand up to the globalist Big LGBT Hate Machine? Let's hope so.

Resist LGBT Hate: California MassResistance Rejects "Equality California"

The modern LGBT Left likes to posit everything as "resistance."

They are resisting hate.

They are resisting injustice.

They claim to resist inequality.

Unfortunately, they demonstrate consummate hatred.

Don't believe me?

Look at this video to see what California MassResistance protesters had to deal with when protesting outside of a Target store--the corporation which embraced the destructive transgender ideology and announced permission to allow men to use women's facilities:

MassResistance President Brian' Camenker listed a large number of attacks against men and women who oppose the LGBT Agenda below:

Recently, I saw this huge billboard along Sepulveda Blvd in the Harbor Gateway, right next door to Torrance, CA:

For everyone's information, this section of Los Angeles County is a family-oriented region filled with people of diverse and conservative backgrounds.

There are fast food restaurants, too, which cater to families, including children. Is this propaganda acceptable? Notice too that there are no references to sexual behavior or contact. The whole movement continues to push the lie that sexual orientation is an innate, genetic trait as opposed to a set of behaviors acquired by experience or circumstance.

Check out the long list of historical abuses from gay-transgender activists against men and women of conscience. Click here.

Here's the full video that I recorded when I saw that hateful sign:

It really sickens me how the LGBT Hate Machine wants to play up hearts and flowers, claiming that they are the full advocates for love.

What is loving about telling a segment of the population that they are "born that way" when clearly they are not?

How is it loving to lie to parents and children, teaching them that they are in bondage to feelings which are just that .. feelings.

Sentiments about sexual attraction and behavior are never the final determinant for anyone. Lets celebrate men being men, and women being women.

Let's celebrate the truth about familiy: one man and one woman.

For those who challenge these values, let's state the truth plainly:

1. Biology

2. Morality

3. Reality

As for all the mantras about equality, the whole movement has been anything but.

Churches get slammed because they do not want to celebrate a perverse, destructive set of lifestyles. Charities and small businesses are under attack from bullying LGBT special interest groups. Every citizen in the United States is finding their rights under attack, the rights enumerated in the United States Constitution.

I am tired of being silenced for reporting the truth. I will not back away from the fight for natural law, natural rights, life, family, biology, and just plain truth.

Natural Law and Natural Rights must stand firm, and everyone of us must stand for truth.

Once I posted the video above on YouTube the following comments emerged below:

Check out these remarks, too:

And

While I do not approve use of hte word "faggot", I do recognize that more people realize what MassResistance and other Anti-LGBT groups have been saying for a long time. Notice "until they started persecuting churches." This whole movement is a perverse intrusion of the state into our daily lives.

And Satanic rebellion against a Loving God.

This agenda is not about normalizing a benign eccentricity, but a full-court press agenda out to undermine life and family, natural law and natural rights.

By the way, conservatives are the New Resistance. We are the true Resistance:

Colorado MassResistance: LGBT Agenda Fights to Lower Age of Consent for Psychiatric Therapy---Without Parental Consent

LGBT movement’s other goal: Lower age of consent to 10 years old for psychiatric therapy – without parents’ knowledge or consent!

Outrageous bill passed House Committee in Colorado Legislature on Tuesday - despite strong testimony by Colorado MassResistance and others. But the fight is just beginning!

Similar laws already passed in states across America.

April 20, 2017

Fresh from the recent victory stopping the LGBT movement’s “anti-therapy” bill in the Colorado Legislature, pro-family people are up against an equally frightening bill that has been filed and just passed its first hurdle toward becoming law. It’s the latest among similar laws that are being quietly passed across the country.

The LGBT lobby is quietly but forcefully pushing for laws to allow children as young as 10 years old to “decide” they need psychiatric therapy – without their parents’ knowledge or consent. LGBT-allied “therapists” could push vulnerable children to affirm and accept homosexual and transgender “identity” and behaviors as “normal.”

This has terrifying implications for parents and families. Children are emotionally defenseless and can easily be persuaded by adults that they need this “help” from unknown, agenda-driven mental health professionals.

It’s not clear who pays for these services, but it’s assumed that the state funds them. It’s also not clear that parents would be allowed access to the resulting medical records.

To accommodate these laws, many school-based clinics now offer “behavioral health” services. The LGBT movement and Planned Parenthood have long been placing “youth clinics” inside schools to access children away from parental oversight. This past week, a Colorado MassResistance mother called one of the clinics and was told they can arrange a psychiatrist to meet with a child on site at the school.

This scheme dovetails with the other, more public LGBT campaign in state legislatures across America to ban counseling and therapy for children who have unwanted homosexual or transgender feelings – but would allow therapy to affirm homosexuality or transgenderism. Sadly, such a ban would be particularly devastating to children who have been sexually molested.

The scare tactic: “suicide prevention”

To persuade legislators that these laws are necessary, the proponents focus on  “suicide prevention.” They make emotional claims that many young children are suicidal, cannot talk to their parents about it, and unless professional intervention happens the children will kill or horribly injure themselves.

“Suicide prevention” has been a lobbying tactic used by the LGBT movement for decades to push for a wide range of programs and funding. This broad claim has little scientific basis and usually depends on blatantly unscientific school surveys such as the Massachusetts Youth Risk Behavior Survey. But sadly, most legislators are not informed enough to see through that. So too often, it works.

(Of course, it is true that psychological problems are far more prevalent among “LGBT-identifying” children. That’s because these behaviors are usually a symptom of earlier trauma, molestation, or other issues. So while these children may need psychological counseling, it must be done with non-activist professionals and parental oversight.)

California led the way for the radicals

In 2010 California passed the Mental Health Services for At-Risk Youth Act (SB 543), signed by Gov. Schwarzenegger, which lowered the age of consent to 12. The law was heavily lobbied by Equality California and other LGBT groups.

Since then, several states across the US have passed laws lowering the age of consent for outpatient (and inpatient) psychotherapy to various age levels, with various degrees of independence for children and notification of parents in these decisions.

The fight begins in Colorado

On April 5, 2017, Bill HB17-1320 was filed in the Colorado Legislature. It would lower the age of consent for outpatient psychotherapy to 10. (Read the text for the original bill here.) Soon after it was filed, the proponents got nervous and offered an amendment to change the age of consent to 12. But the bill is quite clear about its intent. It immediately went to the Democrat-controlled House Public Health Care & Human Services Committee.

A contentious public hearing

On April 18, the Committee held a public hearing for the bill, followed by a vote of the committee members. It was not an overwhelming turnout like other LGBT-related hearings. About 35 people showed up. All but 5 who testified were supporters of the bill.

Parents from Colorado MassResistance were there to testify.

Interestingly, the LGBT lobby seems to be hiding in the background on this. They sent in individual activists and allies to testify, but they did not give an LGBT affiliation. However, the LGBT movement’s fingerprints were there. It was almost all emotional, often tearful arguments about how they and/or their loved ones personally suffered and went through suicide issues as children because legislation did not exist to help them.

Most of the arguments were non-intellectual, irrational, and emotional. They did not focus on professional medical or legal issues. Much of their testimony was rambling, and didn’t even pertain to the bill. There were a lot of threats of children being suicidal, or at least cutting themselves badly, if they had to rely on their parents to decide for them. One of the sponsors of the bill even testified, and began crying when telling her story about her young son who she said wanted to commit suicide. But it had nothing to do with the intent of the bill. It seemed like they were simply throwing anything they could think of at the legislators to see what would stick.

The pro-family people included MassResistance Colorado and Colorado Family Action (CFA), including two attorneys that CFA brought. The MassResistance Colorado parents testified strongly, point by point against the bill, and how its true intent would horribly subvert parents and give an unknown therapist free latitude to diagnose and “treat” their children with whatever approach they chose, without knowing vital medical history or other information from parents.

The MassResistance Colorado parents also submitted a letter by Dr. Michelle Cretella, President of the American College of Pediatricians, against Bill HB 17-1320. Dr. Cretella strongly advised the legislators that adolescents are not capable of making these kinds of judgments about their mental health and psychological therapy.

The CFA attorneys cited constitutional problems with subverting parental rights, and noted that the door would be opened for lawsuits based on past Supreme Court decisions. As Dr. Cretella also observed, young children, especially those in some emotional distress, have absolutely no competence to consent to psychological treatment.

But more importantly, the attorneys noted that statistically these laws have had virtually no positive effect. In California the child suicide rate has actually increased since their law was passed.

Somewhat shockingly, when one of the parents cited the ideological agenda and special interests behind this bill which clearly seem to override interests and needs of the parents and children, the Committee Chairman said that “impugning the motives” of people would not be allowed in testimony!

Committee barely passes it

When the testimony ended, the Committee passed a few minor amendments, including one that would change the age of consent from 10 to 12. The main sponsor explained that she had meet with “stakeholders” (i.e., activists supporting the bill) and apparently decided that 10 years old was too hard to sell right now. Then the Committee passed the bill 7-6, along party lines.

One of the Democrat committee members, Dan Pabon, didn’t even bother to be there for the testimony; he only came in for the vote, and voted “yes”.

Interestingly, one of the Republican committee members, Lois Landgraf, was a sponsor of the bill. But after hearing the testimony, she changed her mind and voted against it. She told legislators:

“If a suicidal child can’t go to parents, there has to be a solution, and I don’t know what it is, but this isn’t it. This bill was too intrusive into the parent-child relationship, so I removed my sponsorship.”

Another Republican committee member noted that it’s being promoted as a “suicide prevention” bill, but that it’s much far more expansive and broad than that. “It’s really a mental health bill that excludes parents,” he told his fellow legislators.

And the fight continues

The bill now goes to the full House, which could happen any day now.

We believe that this bill can be stopped in the Senate, if it gets there. The problem in other states, we believe, has been not enough, if any, pro-family firepower. But even in Colorado it will take some serious work. The CFA people are already scheduling meetings with Senators, and MassResistance Colorado is also prepared to help.

It’s terrifying that most citizens have no idea these laws are being passed in America to give vulnerable children into the hands of “mental health” activists, quacks, or worse.

Taiwan Sentinel #FakeNews Propagandist J. Michael Cole Couldn't Answer My Question: Why?

J. Michael Cole of the Taiwan Sentinel wrote this Fake News hate piece about MassResistance.

Frankly, most propagandists on the left--who masquerade as journalists--refer to the Southern Poverty Law Center to identify conservatives, pro-family groups, and liberty activists as "hate groups."

In a sense, it's a point of great honor to infuriate and frustrate journalists with little integrity and massive investment in a slanted agenda.

In case you missed J. Michael Cole's perverse article, check it out here.

Here's the title of the article:

U.S. Hate Group MassResistance Behind Anti-LGBT Activitiesin Taiwan

Here's the passage where he calls MassResistance a "hate group":

The U.S.-based Southern Poverty Law Center lists MassResistance as a hate group and one of the 18 top anti-gay groups in the United States. Among other things, the group claims that gays are also trying to get legislation allowing sex with animals and to lure children into homosexuality and sadomasochism. Typical of the conspiracy theories associated with such organizations — some of which believe that the American Psychiatric Association is controlled by homosexuals — MassResistance also accuses the CIA and FBI of having a “homosexual agenda.

Shameful, elitist, and ignorant.

I had reached out to him to get some answers.

Instead of answering them, he dodged and hedged, mocked me, then blocked me on Twitter!

Check out his first hateful comment to my basic, decent uestion:

@JMichaelCole1 Why do you call @MassResistance a hate group? Please explain. #CaliforniaMassResistance #NaturalMarriage #ChildrensRights pic.twitter.com/pl9LLutmry

— Arthur C. Schaper (@ArthurCSchaper) January 13, 2017

Here was his response:

@ArthurCSchaper @MassResistance As Browning would say, Let me count the ways...

— J Michael Cole (寇謐將) (@JMichaelCole1) January 13, 2017

So he claims there are many reasons why he believes that MassResistance is a hate group.

Can't he name at least one?

I then tweeted:

@JMichaelCole1 @MassResistance And Browning wrote about Love, not hate. You are mixing metaphors. Why do you resist answering my question?

— Arthur C. Schaper (@ArthurCSchaper) January 13, 2017

And this was his timid answer:

@ArthurCSchaper @MassResistance I don't resist anything. Just too busy to engage in futile "debates" with people who cannot be debated with.

— J Michael Cole (寇謐將) (@JMichaelCole1) January 15, 2017

Notice once again hiis ad hominem attacks.

He has no capacity to respond. He is further exposing himself as a left-wing propagandist instead of a professional journalist.

This was  my next response:

@JMichaelCole1 @MassResistance Why do you say that? You have not even bothered to answer a question.

— Arthur C. Schaper (@ArthurCSchaper) January 15, 2017

The Left cannot debate, they cannot discuss. The demean people and demagogue issues.

Nothing else.

I then tweeted to the public at large:

This is the classic tactic of the Left. They cannot debate, so they resort to name-calling and condescension. #FakeNews #RetweetTheHate https://t.co/neqvtL4QkU

— Arthur C. Schaper (@ArthurCSchaper) January 15, 2017

Here is J. Michael Cole's mature response:

He blocked me.

I have found this to be a common response from corrupt or unjust journalists who spend more time pushing a hateful narrative or left-wing agenda.

They cannot debate.

They will not discuss issues.

They only shame their opponents and seek to smear or silence them.

Apparently, he was not ready for some to punch back at his #FakeNews narrative.

Stand4Truth: Standing Up to LGBT Bigotry

Our moderator/leader presented to the audience a diverse, well-received community of activists, academics, and articulate leaders who had see bigotry of a different form in the past.

A panel of experts, including a therapist, an attorney, and a pastor who had lived through the Civil Rights Movement, commented on the slow and subversive destruction of our culture because of the LGBT movement.

Matt Staver outlined the disturbing erosion of our liberties at the hands of the militant homosexual lobby:

Here are some scenes from the panel:

Dr. David Pickup

Pastor Dave Welch

Pastor Bill Owens

Matt Staver

Here's the video of their discussion:

Pastor Dave Welch was one of the Houston Five pastors who stood up to the openly gay Houston mayor Annise Parker and stopped the "non-discrimination" ordinance, which would have allowed men to enter into any public facility meant for women only.

It also would have shut down churches, charities, and small businesses owned by conscientious objectors who refused to participate in a homosexual wedding or other ceremony.

If they can stand up to LGBT hate in Houston, they can do it anywhere.
