Gay Marriage Is A Lie: Lesbian Masha Gessen And Glenn Beck Agree

Gay marriage is a lie, or so says lesbian and LGBT activist Masha Gessen in a viral video.

Masha Gessen is a Russian and United States journalist and author who is active in the LGBT community. She is an open lesbian, believes in supporting the gay marriage agenda, and was a member of the board of directors for one of Russias LGBT human rights organizations.

In September 2012, Masha Gessen was appointed as director of the Russian Service forRadio Liberty, a US government funded broadcaster based in Prague. The writers of Forbes spoke in her favor in the past, saying, Gessen can be difficult to work with because of her penchant for taking non-negotiable moral stances AlthoughI often disagree with her conclusions, Gessen has always struck me as someone of remarkable moral consistency and impeccable honesty.

On May 19, 2012 when Ms. Gessen appeared at the Sydney Writers Festival on a panel titled, Why Get Married When You Can Be Happy? The YouTube video has since gone viral.

In this video, lesbian activist Masha Gessen claims gay marriage is a lieto loud applause by a LGBT audience:

Gaymarriageis a lie. Fighting for gaymarriagegenerally involves lying about what were going to do withmarriagewhen we get there. Its a no-brainer that the institution ofmarriageshould not exist. Marriageequality becomes marriageelasticity, with the ultimate goal of marriageextinction.

Glenn Beck has picked upon on the Gay marriage is a lie video featuring Masha Gessen. Glenn Beck speaks about this quote, saying, Youve already been lied to, and the crowd just confirmed it. Now Im of the mind that if you want to get married you can get married. If you want to get married by a tree, then I dont really care. I know where I get the value from my marriage, and I get it from my faith and my God. It is a contract, a covenant, between me and my spouse with God. Thats what marriage is.

Glenn Beck goes on to question why government is even in the marriage business. Masha Gessen would apparently agree on that count, since she also says:

I have three kids who have fiveparents, more or less, and I dont see why they shouldnt have fiveparentslegally I met my new partner, and she had just had ababy, and thatbabys biological father is my brother, and my daughters biological father is a man who lives in Russia, and my adopted son also considers him his father. So the fiveparentsbreak down into two groups of three And really, I would like to live in a legal system that is capable of reflecting that reality, and I dont think thats compatible with the institution ofmarriage.

What do you think about this LGBT activist claiming gay marriage is a lie?

Jan 30, 2013 Gaza_Russian medical aid delivered to Gaza Strip
A Russian delegation arrived in the Gaza Strip on Monday with medical supplies, which are severely lacking there because of the Israeli blockade. The delegation consisted of journalists, activists and representatives of charitable organizations. “We arrived here together with the Solidarity fund to breach the blockade. As we found out in the hospital, delegations don't arrive often despite a lot of our citizens living in Palestine. They constitute the majority of foreigners who live here”, said author Eldar Abazhurov. The medicine was bought for around 3 million rubles ($100000), which was raised throughout Russia by the charity Solidarnost (Solidarity). The members of the humanitarian delegation also met with representatives of Gaza's authorities and families living there. Maher Draibeh from the Health Ministry says Gaza is thankful to Russia for its help. “We are thankful to the delegation; they represent Russia and its people. They sent us a lot of medicine and equipment for dialysis.” The Great Day of Annihilation www.facebook.com

Hasan Nowarah on Gaza 4 Dec 2012 pt 2 – Video



Hasan Nowarah on Gaza 4 Dec 2012 pt 2
For the sake of more votes in the elections the Palestinians in Gaza have been victimised once again. When Operation Cast Lead took place in which thousands of Palestinians including more than 350 children were killed in the bombardment of the Gaza Strip 2008-9 another Israeli election was coming up. This time in late 2012 when the Israelis launched operation “pillar of defence” and bombed Gaza yet again, elections are again approaching. Hasan Nowarah of Justice for Palestine who organises aid convoys and who was injured in the 2010 Israeli attack on the Freedom Flotilla, a convoy of humanitarian aid boats trying to reach besieged Gaza and break the blockade, spoke at a Scottish public meeting about the recent situation in Gaza. He speaks of the same American-made, Israeli-made, Russian and British-made weapons that attacked Gaza in 2008-9 being used again and speaks of history repeating itself. But this time the rockets with which the Gazans have responded have penetrated further into Israel and this time, for a change, it's the Israelis who ask for a ceasefire after Hilary Clinton and Obama hurry over to the Middle East. When you see leading world figures hurry over to the Middle East you know something's gone wrong for their plans. The Israelis are now supposed to stop murdering Palestinian activists, stop shooting at Palestinian houses or any Palestinian who approaches the half km at the border of the Gaza Strip. Although not a great deal of land it is still …From:TrishMaryHillViews:2 1ratingsTime:20:12More inNews Politics

Israel Calls Up Thousands Of Reservists, Gaza Violence Hague Condemns Hamas Attacks – Video



Israel Calls Up Thousands Of Reservists, Gaza Violence Hague Condemns Hamas Attacks
Israel Calls Up Thousands Of Reservists, Gaza Violence Hague Condemns Hamas Attacks Israel has approved the call-up of 30000 reservists as it moves troops towards Gaza. It increases the prospect of a ground war – while Palestinian militants fired rockets at Tel Aviv, Israels main commercial city, for the first time in 20 years. Skys Middle East Correspondent Sam Kiley said: In British terms, the number (of reservists) is pretty close to 10 brigades – a vast number of troops. These will be armour, infantry and specialists in support, but most likely to fill in the gaps likely to be left as troops are moved down towards Gaza. Theres already been an increase in movement of ground troops close to Gaza, the movement of tanks and so on. If there is going to be a ground offensive, those troops have got to come from somewhere else and they would need to be back-filled. So, in all likelihood, this is all part of the military planning for a ground assault into Gaza, should the Israeli prime minister so order. Its part of the plan, but that order has not yet been given. But this is a strong indication that Israeli troops are preparing to go into the Gaza Strip. Ahmed Jaabari killed in airstrike The head of Hamas military wing Ahmed al Jaabari who was killed France says its President, Francois Hollande, has begun talks with Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu to avoid an escalation in the violence. And Russian President Vladimir Putin has urged both sides to exercise restraint. Earlier …From:ZuHahahaXDViews:2 0ratingsTime:01:03More inEntertainment

Results of Arafat poison tests to take ‘several weeks’ – Video



Results of Arafat poison tests to take 'several weeks'
The remains of the late Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat have been re-buried in Ramallah after his body was exhumed to try to determine whether he was murdered. A military ceremony was held in front of the mausoleum at the Palestinian Authority headquarters, in the presence of the prime minister and President Mahmoud Abbas. No post-mortem was carried out at the time of Arafat's death in 2004 in France. Although medical records say he died of a stroke, abnormally high traces of radioactive polonium have since been discovered on his personal effects. Samples have now been taken for examination by French, Swiss and Russian experts. Many Palestinians believe he was murdered by Israeli agents. Some Palestinian investigators are adamant that there was foul play. “The medical commission, toxicologists and scientists think that President Arafat was poisoned. If after the samples are analysed, it turns out that polonium-210 was the cause, we will therefore have reached the truth. If, on the other hand that was not the case, we think that it is a matter of another poison,” said Abdallah al-Bashir, head of the Palestinian medical committee of the Palestinian commission of inquiry. French doctors who treated Yasser Arafat said they were unable to determine the cause of his death. For the last two and a half years of his life he was largely confined to his West Bank headquarters by Israel following a Palestinian uprising. Some experts doubt whether the tests will reveal anything …From:Deneme menemeViews:0 0ratingsTime:01:27More inNews Politics

Arafat's exhumed remains are reburied
The remains of the late Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat have been re-buried in Ramallah after his body was exhumed to investigate the cause of his death. Although medical records say he died of a stroke, abnormally high traces of radioactive polonium have since been discovered on Arafat's personal effects. A Palestinian official said samples had been taken and were being analysed by French, Swiss and Russian experts. Many Palestinians believe Arafat was murdered, particularly as no post-mortem was carried out at the time of his death in 2004 in France. Three French judges are investigating whether or not he was murdered after Arafat's widow lodged a formal complaint. One woman in Ramallah said: “I agree with the exhumation because Arafat did not die naturally and we want to know the cause.” But a West Bank man was more convinced. “I oppose the decision of exhumation,” he said, “because I know Arafat was poisoned to death. We don't have to examine the body, but we need to find the murderer.” Since he died there have been numerous theories about how he died, ranging from an Aids related illness to foul play. Israel has denied any involvement.From:Deneme menemeViews:0 0ratingsTime:01:23More inNews Politics
