And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge,
God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient;
Being filled with all unrighteousness, fornication, wickedness,
........ haters of God, ... inventors of evil things,
Who knowing the judgment of God,
that they which commit such things are worthy of death,
not only do the same,
but have pleasure in them that do them.
Romans 1:28-32.
“New York’s iconic Stonewall Inn, where the modern gay rights movement took root, will become the first national monument honoring the history of gays and lesbians in the U.S. under a proposal President Barack Obama is preparing to approve. Designating the small swath of land will mark a major act of national recognition for gay rights advocates and their struggles over the last half-
century. Since the 1969 uprising in Greenwich Village, the U.S. has......legalized same-sex marriage nationwide. Though land must still be transferred to the federal government and other details worked out, the president is expected to move quickly to greenlight the monument following a public meeting Monday in Manhattan, according to two individuals familiar with the administration’s plans.
Next month marks Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender Pride Month in the U.S. The gritty tavern, known colloquially as the Stonewall, became a catalyst for the gay rights movement after police raided it on June 28, 1969. Bar-goers fought back, and many more joined in street protests over the following days in an uprising widely credited as the start of large-scale gay activism in New York and around the word. Annual pride parades in hundreds of cities commemorate the rebellion.
...The same results are sure to follow in America. That massive devastation caused by the French Revolution gave rise to morality and the Bible was reinstituted into the social fabric of France in the early 1800’s. Likewise, it can be expected that after atheism and immorality have completed their destructive work in America, the Bible and “morality,” interpreted by Papal standards, will be inserted into government in the form of a National Sunday Law, that will shortly go international. It must not be forgotten that “It was popery that had begun the work which atheism was completing.” The policy of Rome had wrought out those conditions, in a great degree, that is creating and perpetuating the atmosphere of atheism and immorality only to set herself and her policies up as the only solution to cure the evils wrought by legalized godlessness and licentiousness. {GC 276.4}"
