Disney's Marvel Comics Pushing "Gay Marriage" To Kids

Marvel comics, owned by Disney, has introduced “gay marriage” into its storyline for two characters in its popular “Astonishing X-Men” series, a move that was announced first on ABC’s The View and then on the Marvel website, and which has been criticized by pro-family groups as an attempt to promote same-sex marriage.

CNS is reporting, "In ‘Astonishing X-Men’ #50, openly gay X-Man, Northstar, will propose to his boyfriend, Kyle, with a gay wedding to follow in an upcoming issue. That’s kind of fantastic,” said The View co-host Whoopi Goldberg on May 23. (The fictional marriage will take place in the upcoming June 20 issue, ‘Astonishing X-Men” #51.)

As I mentioned Tuesday, a majority of Americans may tell pollsters they are okay with redefining marriage, but recent voting history tells us they do not support so-called "gay marriage" when they actually vote on the issue. It is a very small minority of homosexuals who are demanding it and a complicit press, misguided public education system and the entertainment industry who are attempting to shape the culture in the image of normalized deviant behavior.

This is one current example of how it works. This is Disney Corporation at its lowest and least.

One Million Moms, a project of the American Family Association, is not taking any of this lightly.

They have and continue to contact those who produce this kind of indoctrination and those who retail it to the kids.

Ironically, DC Comics, owned by Universal Films, had announced last year that they would have a homosexual character in 2012 but would not change the sexual orientation of any existing characters that kids had grown to admire.

Now they have announced that they will not introduce a new character, but rather have an existing character "evolve" in their sexuality and become "gay". Evidently taking a cue from the President and his own evolution.

The following is part of a statement made by the One million Moms organization. I have linked their site above. I encourage you to read their complete statement.

Children desire to be just like superheroes. Children mimic superhero actions and even dress up in costumes to resemble these characters as much as possible. Can you imagine little boys saying, "I want a boyfriend or husband like X-Men?"

This is ridiculous! Why do adult gay men need comic superheroes as role models? They don't but do want to indoctrinate impressionable young minds by placing these gay characters on pedestals in a positive light. These companies are heavily influencing our youth by using children's superheroes to desensitize and brainwash them in thinking that a gay lifestyle choice is normal and desirable. As Christians, we know that homosexuality is a sin (Romans 1:26-27).

Unfortunately, children are now being exposed to homosexuality at an early age. Comic books would be one of the last places a parent would expect their child to be confronted with homosexual topics that are too complicated for them to understand. Children do not know what straight, homosexual, or coming out of the closet even means, but DC Comics and Marvel are using superheroes to confuse them on this topic to raise questions and awareness of an alternative lifestyle choice. These companies are prompting a premature discussion on sexual orientation.

The homosexual movement, with its accomplices, is not about equality. It is rebellion toward God and His authority as Creator and Law Giver. It is an attempt, not to redefine marriage, but to redefine our culture.

More on this tomorrow. Thank you for supporting our efforts to advance Truth and Light in a very distorted and dark culture.

President Obama Still "Evolving" On Marriage

There is no question where the President stands on marriage--for now. Two years ago he said he believed it was between a man and a woman. Now he believes marriage should be redefined.

But many believe the President is not finished "evolving" on the issue of marriage.

Polls And Votes On Same Sex "Marriage"-- A Paradox

In all 32 states where same-sex "marriage" has been on the ballot, voters have rejected it every time, in favor of historical, traditional, biblical marriage---one man, one woman.

Yet there are a number of polls that are finding a majority of people support so-called homosexual "marriage." The most recent poll last week---a Washington Post-ABC News poll is being vigorously reported far and wide as near absolute proof that America has changed its collective mind about marriage. The poll reports 53% feel homosexual "marriage" should be legal and 39% opposed, feeling it should be illegal.

However, 32 states, representing about 60% of the US population, have rejected homosexual "marriage" at the ballot box. Every state that has ever voted on the matter has stood for natural, biblical marriage.

What's going on?

What Happens Next On R-74?

The following is a communication from the Secretary of State's office outlining in detail how R-74 will proceed over the next couple of weeks.

Here’s how signature check for R-74 works …

by David Ammons | May 22nd, 2012

How does the signature check for a referendum work, and what is the impact of a referendum challenge on the effective date of the recently enacted legislation (SB6239) authorizing civil marriage for same-sex couples?

The deadline for turning in Referendum 74 petitions to the State Elections Division is Wednesday, June 6.  Ordinarily, the marriage bill would be taking effect Thursday, June 7, but if opponents bring in signatures, the law doesn’t go into effect on schedule.  If a signature check shows the sponsors didn’t bring in enough valid signatures, the marriage law would go into effect. However, if the R-74 challenge is certified for a public vote in November, the law stays on hold until the voters have their say.  If R-74 is approved by voters, it will take effect 30 days after Election Day, Dec. 6. If rejected, the law will not take effect, of course.

Katie Blinn, state co-director of elections, gives this helpful rundown on how it all works:

•    If the sponsors believe that they do not have enough signatures, they will likely not submit the petitions at all because once the petitions are submitted to our office, they are public record and we will receive public records requests for them.

•    For a referendum, the sponsors need to submit at least 120,577 valid signatures of Washington registered voters.  Since many signatures will be invalid, because the signer is not registered to vote, the signer signed more than once, or the signature on the petition does not match the signature in the person’s voter registration record, we recommend that sponsors submit about 150,000 signatures.  The most common reason a signature is rejected is because the signer is not registered to vote.

•    On June 6, we will count the number of petition pages that the sponsors have submitted.  For a referendum, this will be in the ballpark of 10,000 pages.  We will likely finish the process of accepting the petitions and counting the petition pages in the late afternoon or early evening of Wednesday, June 6.
•    On Thursday, June 7, we will send the petitions to be imaged.  This is for safekeeping, in case something happens to the petitions during the signature check.

•    When the petitions return from imaging a few days later, we will go through the petitions page by page to count the gross number of signatures submitted.  This is actually more than just counting them because we eliminate signature lines that are clearly not real people, such as Santa Claus and Mickey Mouse, so those lines are not included in the gross signature count.

•    If the gross signature count indicates that the sponsors have submitted less than 120,577 signatures, then our office could determine at that point that the measure does not qualify for the ballot and the suspension is lifted.  But this is highly unlikely since the sponsors themselves will also be counting the number of signatures submitted.

•    Assuming that the sponsors submit at least 120,577 signatures, we will then decide whether we can check a random sample of the signatures submitted, or must check all of the signatures submitted.  This decision is fairly critical because, for a referendum, it is the difference between checking 3,600 – 4,500 signatures in a random sample versus checking perhaps 130,000 signatures in a full check.  A random sample check could likely be finished in a few days.  A full check would likely take a few weeks.
The Secretary of State’s Office will not accept the R-74 petitions if it appears that there are not enough signatures.  If the sponsors appear to have filed the minimum number of signatures on June 6, the legislation is suspended until our office makes a final, official determination whether the measure qualifies for the ballot. If our office determines that the referendum does qualify for the 2012 General Election ballot, the legislation remains suspended until after the General Election.

•   It is difficult at this point to give a date on when that official determination on whether the measure qualifies for the ballot will occur.  It will depend on whether there are enough signatures to do a random sample check, or we must proceed with a full check.  If the sponsors do not bring in a large quantity of signatures over the minimum, then we will proceed with a full check.

•    If the voters “approve” the legislation at the General Election, then the legislation can go into effect 30 days after the day of the General Election, December 6, 2012.

JC Pennys Posts Huge First Quarter Loss

The Associated Press reported yesterday, "J.C. Penney on Tuesday reported a larger-than-expected first-quarter loss largely because customers were turned off by the retailer's new plan to get rid of heavy discounting periodically throughout the year in favor of everyday low pricing."

I'm thinking there may be another reason in play.

Onenewsnow reported the following:

Monica Cole, director of OneMillionMoms.com, feels the secular media is ignoring what she calls the "big elephant in the room."

"Sales have plummeted since J.C. Penney showed their new, bold marketing strategy, including pushing a lesbian spokesperson and same-sex couples in their advertising," Cole says, referring to the retailer's announcement earlier this year that openly homosexual entertainer Ellen DeGeneres will be their advertising spokesperson.

"If they would stop pushing a deviant and unhealthy lifestyle and focus on product quality and value along with excellent customer service, their bottom line would not be suffering," Cole advises.

OneMillionMoms has been urging its members to contact their local J.C. Penney stores and the corporate offices to voice their disapproval of the new, "gay"-friendly marketing strategy.

Take a moment today and contact your local JCP store and voice your personal disapproval of their "gay friendly marketing strategy."

One voice makes a difference. Many voices make a big difference.
