The Bishop鈥檚 directive comes three weeks before 听in the Church, Resolution B012, goes into effect Dec. 2 allowing same-sex marriages to be performed in Episcopal churches nationwide.

Ronald Tyler Witt, 21, was charged with six counts of petit larceny as a hate crime. The first flag was stolen July 29 from the front lawn of the Sayville Congregational United Church of Christ. Pastor Ray Banguolo posted a sign in August that pleaded with the perpetrator to talk with the congregation, and noted that the person was welcome in the congregation, too.

Following the fourth theft, the Suffolk County police Hate Crime Unit set up surveillance cameras at the scene.

Witt鈥檚 defense attorney argued that the thefts were pranks, but prosecutors say Witt reportedly told police that he 鈥渄idn鈥檛 want to see a gay flag on a church.鈥� Witt will have supervised release and must wear a GPS monitoring device because of a probationary issue on a separate case.

Tech.co reported 听on how American-based social media companies have helped provide a platform for Tanzania鈥檚 anti-LGBT vigilantes.

Earlier that week, Paul Makonda, regional commissioner for Dar es Salaam, Tanzania鈥檚 largest city, said in an interview posted to YouTube (which is owned by Google), 鈥淭hese homosexuals boast on social networks鈥� and called on the Tanzanian people to 鈥淕ive me their names. 鈥� My ad hoc team will begin to get their hands on them next Monday.鈥� He claimed the surveillance team would consist of 17 members and include 鈥渟tate officials from the Tanzania Communications Authority, the police and media practitioners.鈥�

The Guardian 听that vigilante groups are 鈥渞aiding houses鈥� and that it is effectively 鈥渙pen season on gay people鈥� as hundreds went into hiding.

Tech.co stated that 鈥渟o far, there has been no comment from Google鈥� or any statement from Facebook or Instagram, both sites previously mentioned by Makonda for facilitating homosexuality in the country. According to Tech.co, Facebook controls nearly 64 percent of the Tanzanian social media market.

Makonda and his statements have received strong condemnation from governments 鈥� 听鈥� NGOs and the press, but his response, according to Tech.co, is, 鈥淚 prefer to anger those countries than God.鈥�

The Seattle Times reported Nov. 15 that the Washington state supreme court is taking another look at a case that the justices ruled unanimously against two years ago.

The case concerns a flower shop whose owner, Barronelle Stutzman, refused to design arrangements for a same-sex wedding. The state supreme court ruled unanimously in 2016 that she had violated the law.

The Washington supreme court is taking another look at the case in the wake of the U.S. Supreme Court鈥檚 narrow ruling in Masterpiece Cakeshop, in which it found that the Colorado Civil Rights Commission had discriminated against a baker鈥檚 religious beliefs when it investigated a complaint against him after he refused to make a cake for a same-sex wedding.

The U.S. Supreme Court had refused to hear the flower shop case in June, and instead returned it to the state just after its ruling in the Colorado case, and ordered the state courts to take a new look at the florist鈥檚 case. In the Masterpiece ruling, the U.S. Supreme Court did not decide whether businesses have a right to deny service to LGBT people on the basis of religious beliefs.

The Washington supreme court could hear arguments as early as its winter term, which is January鈥揗arch 2019.

Stutzman is represented by Alliance Defending Freedom* (ADF).

ABC News 听that a 16-year-old was arrested for phoning in threats to gay bars in Boston.

The teen allegedly threatened dbar and Alley Bar. The owner of dbar told police that someone called the bar the evening of Nov. 23 and threatened to 鈥渟hoot the place up.鈥� The Alley Bar got a similar call that night, in which the caller asked for directions to the bar then, during the course of the conversation, made a threat.

According to ABC News, the call came from a landline in Peabody, a community about 30 minutes away from Boston, and the alleged caller was 鈥渆asily identified.鈥� The teen who was arrested is from New Hampshire and was arrested there Friday night.

He has several outstanding warrants in juvenile court in Suffolk County, Massachusetts for threats with serious public alarm and civil rights violations as well as additional warrants stemming from other charges in other counties.

The Arizona Republic 听that the Arizona Supreme Court has agreed to hear arguments in a case filed by Christian wedding-invitation designers who are challenging a Phoenix antidiscrimination law that includes LGBT people. The women behind Brush & Nib Studio believe that designing invitations or other custom artwork for LGBT couples would be equivalent to endorsing their marriages.

ADF is representing the two women, who sued Phoenix in 2016, even though they have had no complaints filed against them for violating the antidiscrimination law. In June, the Arizona Court of Appeals affirmed a lower court decision upholding the Phoenix law, which requires businesses to serve LGBT individuals.

The newspaper noted that the high court鈥檚 agreement to hear the case is significant, because it doesn鈥檛 have to take every appeal. Oral arguments will likely be held sometime next year.

The Washington Post 听that the Department of Justice has petitioned the Supreme Court to bypass the usual legal procedures and to take on President Trump鈥檚 decision to ban trans people from serving in the military.

Solicitor General Noel J. Francisco asked the justices to consolidate the challenges to the ban and rule on the issue in its current term. Challenges to the ban have so far been successful in lower courts, including federal courts. 鈥淭he decisions imposing those injunctions are wrong, and they warrant this Court鈥檚 immediate review,鈥� Francisco .

The U.S. Court of Appeals is scheduled to hear an appeal of a district judge鈥檚 ruling about the ban in a case filed in Washington, D.C. In that ruling, as The Washington Post reported, Judge Colleen Kollar-Kotelly wrote, 鈥淭here is absolutely no support for the claim that the ongoing service of transgender people would have any negative effect on the military at all.鈥�

Bloomberg Law noted that the Department of Justice鈥檚 (DOJ) request takes an unusual route of asking the high court to review a district court ruling before obtaining a decision on it from the appeals court, which is slated to hear arguments Dec. 10.

The Supreme Court is scheduled to consider during its Nov. 30 conference whether to grant review in a separate case that asks whether transgender discrimination violates the 1964 Civil Rights Act鈥檚 ban on sex discrimination in employment.

, which deals with a funeral home that fired one of its employees who announced her transition from male to female 鈥� is being supported by DOJ. ADF is representing the funeral home.

Solicitor General Noel Francisco also has ties to ADF. Prior to joining the Justice Department, Francisco was a private attorney with the firm Jones Day, where he provided pro bono legal services to ADF, , which noted that ADF had listed Francisco as an 鈥渁llied attorney,鈥� a designation ADF claimed was 鈥渁 mistake,鈥� . ADF has 听in 2016 in a case dealing with the display of the Ten Commandments in a Maryland courthouse.

In April, Democracy Forward against the Trump administration after it failed to disclose records relating to Francisco鈥檚 potential ties to ADF.

The Human Rights Campaign Foundation 听鈥擳ransgender Day of Remembrance 鈥� to call attention to the epidemic of violence against trans people. The report, 鈥淎 National Epidemic: Fatal Anti-Transgender Violence in America in 2018,鈥� is 听on the HRC website.

The report notes that since 2013, at least 128 transgender people have been killed in the U.S. Across the United States, 鈥渁nti-transgender stigma and systemic discrimination heighten the vulnerability of transgender people from an early age鈥� and for 鈥渢ransgender women of color, who comprise the vast majority of the victims, these challenges are further exacerbated by and intertwined with racism and sexism.鈥�

Alliance Defending Freedom*

Alliance Defending Freedom听(ADF) is suing an Ohio college on behalf of a professor who refuses to use a transgender student鈥檚 preferred pronouns and accompanying title.

Philosophy professor Nichols Meriwether, who is also an evangelical Christian, 听Nov. 5 against officials at Shawnee State University in Portsmouth. Meriwether contends that officials violated his constitutional rights by compelling him to speak in a way that contradicts his religious convictions, .

The lawsuit alleges that in January 2018 a 鈥渕ale student demanded that Dr. Meriwether address him as a woman because he identified as such and threatened to have Dr. Meriwether fired if he declined.鈥� Acceding to the demands, the lawsuit continued, 鈥渨ould have required Dr. Meriwether to communicate views regarding gender identity that he does not hold, that he does not wish to communicate, and that would contradict (and force him to violate) his sincerely held Christian beliefs.鈥�

The 听that the student asked Meriwether after a class in January to use female gender terminology to refer to her. Meriwether, who says he always refers to students using 鈥渟ir,鈥� 鈥渕a鈥檃m,鈥� 鈥渕ister鈥� or 鈥渕iss鈥� to foster an atmosphere of mutual respect and seriousness, refused. The lawsuit claims that the student 鈥渃ircled him threateningly鈥� and compared his refusal to calling someone a 鈥渃---鈥�. After the conversation, Meriwether said he would refer to the student by her last name but reported the incident to the university.

The student filed a complaint with the university and Meriwether was informally warned about using the student鈥檚 preferred gender terminology. He asked for clarification about the university鈥檚 antidiscrimination policy, which includes gender identity. The student complained again, claiming that Meriwether addressed her by her last name, but used 鈥渕ister.鈥� Meriwether claimed it was accidental.

Meriwether has claimed that throughout the grievance process, his constitutional rights were being violated in numerous communications with school officials. He was quoted as writing,

I am a Christian. As such, it is my sincerely held religious belief, based on the Bible鈥檚 teachings, that God created human beings as either male or female, that this gender is fixed in each person from the moment of conception, and that it cannot be changed.

In the lawsuit, ADF consistently misgenders the trans student, referring to her as male, and to the university as 鈥渟elf-appointed grammar police.鈥�

听for a trans person鈥檚 self-confidence and overall mental health. It can also put someone in danger through outing. Deliberately misgendering someone can be a tactic for harassment and bullying.

ADF, which 听trans and gender-nonconforming people, has a long history of from public life, including schools, and to encourage the right to discriminate against LGBT people .鈥�

Americans for Truth about Homosexuality*

Peter LaBarbera, president of Americans for Truth about Homosexuality (AFTAH), posted Nov. 20 on the AFTAH website that Facebook had unpublished the AFTAH page over the weekend, claiming AFTAH had used hate speech in violation of its community standards.

LaBarbera stated that 鈥渓eftist social media censorship is accelerating鈥� and then claimed that its posts triggered 鈥渢hese progressive-leftie snowflakes.鈥� He used the opportunity to drum up money for AFTAH, by posting a link to its donation page to 鈥淔ight Leftist Censorship; donate securely to AFTAH online鈥�.

In September, LaBarbera claimed on the AFTAH website that Facebook had 鈥減unished鈥� AFTAH by preventing its posts for 30 days because, he claimed, he had criticized the 鈥淐hicago homosexual perversion-fest International Mr. Leather鈥� event.

This second suspension came as a result, LaBarbera claims, of a 2016 post criticizing surgery for trans people, referring to it as 鈥� 鈥榯ransgender鈥� insanity鈥� (square quotes around transgender are LaBarbera鈥檚).

LaBarbera claimed in a Nov. 26 update to a Nov. 25 post on the AFTAH site that his appeal with regard to the latest suspension was denied and the AFTAH Facebook page remains suspended for 30 days.

LaBarbera has a long history of denigrating LGBT people. He鈥檚 听for his penchant for attending fetish fairs and Pride events to 鈥渄ocument鈥� the worst things he sees there in order to further smear LGBT people and buttress his arguments that they鈥檙e dangerous to children and society.

He has repeatedly linked homosexuality to pedophilia and pederasty (see , , and , for example) and, in 2013, 听to an anti-LGBT conference where he urged attendees to keep the country鈥檚 鈥渁nti-buggery鈥� laws, which criminalize homosexuality.

Family Research Council*

Tony Perkins, president of the Family Research Council听(FRC) announced Nov. 9 via email the organization鈥檚 first ever 鈥淒.C. Christian Heritage Tour and Summit,鈥� scheduled for March 28鈥�31, 2019.

According to the email, Perkins will be joined by FRC鈥檚 executive vice president, Lt. Gen. (ret.) Jerry Boykin and former congresswoman Michele Bachmann, 鈥渁s well as other national leaders.鈥� Pending approval, the email goes on, 鈥渨e鈥檒l also have a White House briefing.鈥�

The tour will include visits to and a dinner at the Museum of the Bible; a 鈥減rivate spiritual heritage tour of the Capito濒鈥�; dinner on Capitol Hill and a monuments tour, 鈥渞ediscovering the biblical foundations on which this nation was built.鈥�

Accommodations, the email notes, will be 鈥渢he beautiful five-star Trump International Hotel.鈥�

FRC has 听for the tour.

FRC also hosts panels and discussions. On Jan. 22, Ruth Institute* (RI) president Jennifer Roback Morse will be joining the FRC Speaker Series in Washington, D.C. to talk about her latest book, The Sexual State: How Elite Ideologies are Destroying Lives.

The FRC website claims, 鈥淲ith courage, compassion, and an unswerving dedication to the truth, Roback Morse shows why we must fight the three interlocking ideologies that make up the Sexual Revolution.鈥� Those include, according to the site, 鈥淐ontraceptive ideology,鈥� which separates sex from childbearing; 鈥淒ivorce ideology,鈥� which separates sex and childbearing from marriage; and 鈥淕ender ideology,鈥� which, according to FRC and Morse, eliminates 鈥渁ll distinctions between men and women except those that individuals explicitly embrace.鈥�

鈥淕ender ideology鈥� is 听with roots in the Vatican in the 1990s that is presented as an LGBT- and feminist-led movement working to upend the so-called 鈥渢raditional family鈥� and the 鈥渘atural order鈥� of society. It鈥檚 a catchall phrase to sell false narratives and justify discrimination against women and LGBT people. Currently, it is being used in anti-trans narratives and campaigns.

Under Morse, the RI has claimed听that children whose parents had a same-sex relationship are at elevated risk for emotional problems, learning disabilities, difficulty trusting others and identifying as something other than exclusively heterosexual. Roback Morse has also supported an anti-LGBT book produced by MassResistance*, which links homosexuality to violence, promiscuity and disease.

The RI has brought on anti-LGBT pseudoscience promulgator Paul Sullins, who, using the RI platform, has released a report and 听that the high rate of sexual abuse of children in the Catholic Church is a result of homosexual priests.

Mission: America*

Linda Harvey, president of Mission: America, took to right-wing anti-LGBT and conspiracy-mongering 听and the virulently anti-LGBT and anti-choice 听Nov. 22 to decry the annual Macy鈥檚 Thanksgiving Day Parade, which, for the first time ever, 听during one of the numerous showcased acts.

The kiss occurred during the celebration of the new Broadway comedy musical, 鈥�.鈥� Actresses Caitlin Kinnunen and Isabelle McCalla shared a kiss during the parade.

Harvey (one of several anti-LGBT reactions to the kiss), claimed in her column:

On Thanksgiving morning at 9:00 am, we turned on the TV, eager to see the Ohio State marching band in the Macy鈥檚 Thanksgiving Day parade. The famous all-brass stars of Big 10 football games were scheduled to be the leading band in the heartwarming procession down Central Park West to 34th Street. But of course, we weren鈥檛 allowed to enjoy this moment before the incessant homosexual agenda was thrust into America鈥檚 face.

She went on to claim that the Parade was being 鈥渃o-opted by whitewashed depravity鈥� and further claimed that the 鈥淸homosexual] agenda is like an airborne infection that鈥檚 suddenly everywhere.鈥�

From 鈥淟GBT鈥� affirming youth groups, to 鈥済ay鈥�-affirming anti-bullying school lessons, to rainbow 鈥減ride鈥� apparel sold at Target and Walmart during the spring and summer, to the obligatory pro-homosexual article in the daily newspaper, to disturbed transvestites reading to preschoolers in libraries. It seems to be critically important to stick it to our children, all in the name of phony 鈥渢olerance鈥� and 鈥渁cceptance,鈥� embracing sins leading to personal disaster, societal destruction and spiritual death.

Further on, she claims she is 鈥済rieved for America and all the lost people, especially the young鈥� and she mourns for the 鈥渟imple sweetness of mom/dad families and uncomplicated friendships, of holidays that cultivated wholesome childhood unmarred by the shadow of hateful, sexual fascism.鈥�

She then exhorts people to contact NBC and Macy鈥檚, and to not shop at Macy鈥檚 this Christmas season.

Harvey, for her part, has been demonizing LGBT people for years. She has that 鈥渢he gay agenda鈥� has led to suicides of LGBT youth; 听and 听as 鈥渦nnatura濒鈥� and 鈥� asking, 鈥淒oes anyone really believe that a prancing drill sergeant won鈥檛 detract from readiness?鈥�

World Congress of Families*/International Organization for the Family*

The World Congress of Families (WCF) has announced registration is now open for its upcoming gathering in Verona, Italy, which is slated for March 29鈥�31, 2019, just over six months since its twelfth annual gathering in Moldova.

The Verona gathering鈥檚 theme is 鈥淭he Wind of Change: Europe and the Global Pro-Family Movement鈥� and is occurring, according to the website of the International Organization for the Family鈥檚 (IOF; WCF鈥檚 parent) website that Matteo Salvini, Deputy Prime Minister of Italy and 鈥渙ther national and local Italian officials,鈥� invited them.

Salvini, of Lega (formerly Lega Norde), is also Italy鈥檚 interior minister, which is responsible for policing and national security and immigration policies. Known for his 听and racist statements 鈥� including 听to bulldoze a Roma camp 鈥� he is also 听and has 听from the neo-fascist CasaPound movement, like 鈥淚taly First鈥� and 鈥淚taly for the Italians.鈥�

WCF鈥檚 courting of the hard-right nationalist Salvini follows its trajectory of the past few years, in which it has made increasing overtures to other right-wing nationalist leaders like Hungary鈥檚 Viktor Orb谩n and Moldova鈥檚 Igor Dodon. WCF also maintains close ties to Russia.

Under Brian Brown, WCF has also begun mimicking nationalists around the world by using anti-Soros rhetoric, as in a Sept. 27 post on the IOF website, titled 鈥淪oros-funded forces are losing the fight!鈥� Brown went on in the post to claim that:

At IOF, we have a small fraction of the budget that Soros鈥� NGO cronies have at their disposal. But we have the truth on our side: and with the funding we receive from ordinary men and women like you, we do great work opposing this radical leftist agenda across the globe. I鈥檝e formed relationships with key government leaders in Europe 鈥� in Hungary, IN Moldova, in Poland, in Italy, and elsewhere 鈥� and we are working through these relationship to ensure pernicious forces from outside Europe lose in their bid to make traditional, faith-filled societies into outposts of the radical liberal ideology espoused by coastal elites here in the united States.

The post featured an image of liberal Hungarian-born Jewish philanthropist George Soros superimposed on a map of Romania in the colors of the Romanian flag. Soros and the 听are often 听among right-wing nationalists, linking him to a 鈥淛ewish caba濒鈥� or 鈥減lot鈥� working to undermine others.
