THE WHITE HOUSE: Statement by the President on the International Day Against Homophobia and Transphobia
* Prime example of a nation that has gone morally bankrupted
For this cause God gave them up unto vile passions: for their women changed the natural use into that which is against nature: and likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another, men with men working unseemliness, and receiving in themselves that recompense of their error which was due.” (Romans 1:26-27).
