:crazy: This LaBarbera person seems like a real piece of .... something.



from the American Family Association's OneNewsNow:



Insurance provider grants 'family' status to lesbian couple
Jeff Johnson - OneNewsNow - 8/15/2008 8:45:00 AM

Pro-family advocates say the choice by a New York insurance carrier to grant "family" benefits to a homosexual couple "married" in Canada is further evidence of the decline of morality in corporate America.

BlueCross BlueShield of Western New York made the decision after the New York Civil Liberties Union filed suit on behalf of an insured lesbian who sought coverage for her partner and the partner's infant daughter. Peter LaBarbera, president of Americans for Truth About Homosexuality, says this is the sad reality of effective homosexual propaganda and activism.

"The very fact that BlueCross BlueShield capitulated so easily, that doesn't say much for them as a company," said LaBarbera. "At one point in society, companies were more moral. Now we see companies leading the amoral rush to fund and subsidize and benefit so-called homosexual 'marriages' and homosexual-led 'families'...."

Though LaBarbera decries the company's decision to cave to pro-homosexual pressure, he says his greatest concern is for the child being raised in a homosexual household. "I fully believe that these two women love that child, love that baby. But the sad fact is that baby is growing up in a home which is intentionally fatherless, by design -- and that's wrong," he argues. "And that's going to handicap that baby's life as she grows up. She needs a dad. And a 'replacement dad' -- be it an uncle or some friend, some male friend that these women have -- can never substitute for her having a father."

Extensive social science research shows that children raised by a married mother and fathers typically perform better academically and economically, and are healthier and better adjusted than those raised in what society is referring to as "alternative" households.

2. Why does Labarbara hate Jesus?

Labarbara says nothing about divorce, yet half of American marriages end in divorce. Jesus said nothing about homosexuals, but did say this about divorce, "What God hath joined together, let no man put asunder." Labarbara knows what Jesus said, yet refuses it.
Why does Labarbara hate Jesus?

3. Because half his parishoners are divorced?

He needs their tithes. The man has to eat.
