Girl Gets Death Threats for Defending God-Ordained Marriage |
| By John Ritchie |

Wake up America. The voices that preach tolerance are turning violent. This time the target is an innocent young girl, Sarah Crank, who testified before the Maryland Senate Judicial Proceedings Committee in support of traditional marriage.
The calm, truthful testimony of a 14-year-old minor – without profanity or harsh language – generated vulgar attacks, threats of violence and even death wishes divulged on numerous pro-homosexual websites, blogs, and comment entries. In fact, pro-homosexual activists unleashed a campaign of harassment against the Maryland family, including a call to have the mother’s parental rights revoked for simply encouraging her daughter to defend the reality of marriage between one man and one woman.
Violent Reactions
“And now everyone knows her name, so hopefully she will feel what its like to be harassed and bullied…” reads a comment posted on LGBTQNation.com
From YouTube: “My god I hate people like this. Most (not all) Americans are [expletive] retards. If I ever see this girl, I will kill her. That’s a promise.”
Other entries: “Her parents should be exterminated.”
“The [sic] is why abortion must stay legal – to prevent little bigots like this from being Born…”
“Kill this child and his [sic] parent, for my 11 birthday would be a wonderful gift, thanks.”
“Her belief is hurting other people. I will attack her as much as I please.”
“Parents like hers should be sterilized…”
“I’m gonna kill ‘er!”
That is only a small sample. The vitriolic tone of over 2,600 comments posted on The Huffington Post alone, reveal how the “tolerance” promoted by the homosexual movement is anything but tolerant, nothing more than an empty slogan to silence most Americans. In fact, hundreds of additional comments posted across the blogosphere demonstrate just how willing pro-homosexual activists are to deny traditional marriage supporters their freedom of speech.

Transcript of the Testimony
| Listen to the audio recording |
"It's rather scary to think that when I grow up the legislature or the court can change the definition of any word they want. If they could change the definition of marriage then they could change the definition of any word. People have the choice to be gay, but I don't want to be affected by their choice. People say that they were born that way, but I've met really nice adults who did change. So please vote ‘no’ on gay marriage. Thank you.” (January 31, 2012)
The teenager’s sixty-second testimony points out two things: First, homosexual behavior is not inborn, but a choice. And second, many of those who have fallen into homosexual sin can and do change.
May God protect and bless this brave Maryland girl and her family for speaking up in defense of God-ordained marriage, and may He protect America from the homosexual agenda and its violent dictatorship of tolerance.

It is so refreshing to hear such a young person be so brave and bold to speak out about an obvious Truth, that marriage was and will always be meant to be between a man and a woman. The world needs more youth like you. I am sure that your parents are very proud. And I am also sure that the Good Lord will bless you for such a stance. Christ said that when we are persecuted that we should "Rejoice and be glad for your reward is great in Heaven!" Thank you for being such a great witness to the Faith. I will pray that the state of Maryland remains true to its Catholic Christian roots and does not pass any legislation that will go against the Truth of marriage. Be encouraged!!!
Sarah be strong in your conviction and no that you are not alone. God Bless You!
Thank you for your encourage to stand up for God's truth. BE NOT AFRAID, he will be ALWAYS by your side, and PRAY for your enemies. YOU WILL BE IN MY PRAYERS THAT GOD WILL HOLD YOU YOU IN THE PALM OF HIS HAND at all times!
Be happyy. Keep defending moral values no matter what comes your way!! :D
Again, God's blessing be upon you. Amen.
Thank you for the courage to speak at the Maryland Senate Judicial Proceedings Committee! Do not let offensive comments bother you - stay strong with Christ at your side. God Bless you!
Marriage is a covenant relationship between a man and a woman for life. Gay Marriage is a perversion pact at worst and simply male or female friendship at best. Indeed the stress on homosexuality has put all same sex friendship into suspicion. If you hang out with your friends of the same sex it won't be long before some idiot suggests that you're homosexual. How far we have fallen. To undermine marriage is to tend to the destruction of the family and true human love and relationships. It's sad!
Thank you for speaking out for true marriage between one man and one woman. Now a days, it takes a lot of courage to stand up for your beliefs. There are so many sad people out there that do not know the truth. Stay strong young lady and continue to speak the truth. Remember that the truth will always be the truth even if no one believes it.
Stand tall Sarah---our thoughts and prayers are with you---and yours.
needs to be prosecuted, and the rights of the girl defended.
2) This is an expressed opinion and is protected by the
constitution.
3) Though young, the girl makes reasoned arguments and is
worthy of reasoned response instead of the over-the-top
spewing of hate.
4) If you are Christian, there is an understanding that the
practice of homosexual behaviors is an anathema to God
who will exact punishment on groups or cultures that
tolerate these behaviors. Arguably, that explains the state
of our country at present. When America stops being good
it will stop being great. We have passed that point.
5) It is nice to know that big brave people are ready to `kill'
children a fraction of their age or size. Not if I or any other
person of conscience were around they wouldn't.
defending our moral values!
congratulations!
God bless you for defending our families values, and for an AMERICA with moral values.
I praise God for giving you the faith and courage to stand up to defend what you know to be right! I pray that you will continue to defend God's Word throughout your life and that God will always walk with you.
Thank you for being so brave.
Good for you! Cindie
Sincerely,
Claudia Schumacher
I hope that you will not be swayed by the negative comments which I am sure you will be subjected to because of your courage.
I admire you for being so brave and true to your beliefs. I wish there were a lot more like you.
You are a voice for all of our children. Thank you for your courage. May God bless you and keep you in His loving care!
This causes thousands of people to become rabid in their statements of hate against her? Some display of "tolerance!"
Your courage is inspirational.As many of these posters mentioned, do not be afraid. He will always be there for you. Continue to seek the truth, it is amazing and fullfilling. It sounds like you are well on your way. I'll be praying for you.
Our Heavenly Father is watching over you and He will send His angels "to lift you up lest you dash your foot against a stone".
(Psalm 91)
You are in my thoughts and prayers.

thanks for speaking up for the only root or core of a viable society...the traditional family unit!
THese folks who want to codify sin and make moral relativism the norm- hate.-.....they hate the truth. Especially God's truth which is eternal. You may be a great leader some day for this experience. Do not let the wicked discourage you since they represent death ulitimately. God Bless You for being so courageous.
Keep fighting the good fight. Speak the truth about the proper definition of marriage and never apologize for it. If those who lash out at you with threats and vulgar language had a rational or valid argument, they would state it. They do not, so they are left to nothing but anger. I believe much of this anger and self-hate, is from a subconscience inner turmoil that comes from living a life in opposition to the image in which God made us. No matter what, "Be not afraid".
Stay strong. There are more people than you think that believe the same way you do.
God bless you for the courage to speak up and defend the Sacrament Of Marriage before the world.I pray that Jesus,Mary And Saint Joseph would watch over you and bless you.
May God bless you & your wonderful parents .Remember what Jesus's enemies did to Him as they believed in something different .Pray the Rosary with your parents as God wins battles big & small through His Blessed Mother .
My respects for standing up for most of Americans. You are a true American. The voices that claim tolerance are just people lost without soul that want to impose their agenda on all of us. You are on my prayers.
Thank you Sarah GOD BLESS YOU.
Thanks to Sarah's parents for raising their daughter to believe and know what is right in the eyes of God.
Sarah - you are a beautiful child and thank you for your witness. I will pray that God will bless you always
God bless you for speaking the truth and trusting in God. Jesus said not to be afraid when others speak against you for as they did to him, they will do to you if you are his follower. May you always hold tight to the truth and to the Lord. Jesus said "I am the way, the TRUTH, and the life". Truth is so important and stands out against the Liar (Satan). I know God is so proud of you and loves you so very much, Sarah. God Bless You and Your Family!
In Jesus through Mary Anna
You are a brave young woman. The truth will set us all free. Thank you for standing up for truth and morality.
Jesus made the scribes and pharisees go crazy because He taught the truth and never wavered. You are a modern day saint because you walk and talk like Jesus. Keep your eyes on Him, never waver, never stop believing you are on the "winning" side. You are storing up so much treasure in heaven. We all love you.
Homosexuality is like any other sin. We are all sinners but we must not rationalize our sinfulness. Instead we should be humbled by our iniquities and seek forgiveness and grace from God.
Awesome job standing up for what is right! God Bless You!
Sarah and her family are on my prayer list. May God grant them all of the graces and blessings that they require in order to enable them to persevere despite the onslaught of verbal attacks against them.
God bless you for sticking up for what is right!
Stay strong - you have nothing to fear - your guardian angel will protect you. Blessings - and praying for you. Paul
Keep standing up for God's Truth. The evil one is having his day now; but those who chose to follow God will win in the end.
Always respond with love to those who hate what you stand for.
I'm praying for you and your mission.
Rick
Nice meeting a young lady who stands out to practise her religious beliefs and that which is the real truth. Keep up with your strong foundation as only on it you will be able to build a 'spiritual tower' that no-one could surpass. I assure you God will be with you all the way and He will always help you. You are one of those whom I'll surely remember in my prayers. Please take care and never give up to what is right and the truth that God intended!

God loves order and has set His order before man (man means both men and women)which should be carried out as given. Some people believe they know better than God. The thing that many forget is we either do the will of God here and now willingly or we will do his will later unwillingly. 1 Peter 3:15 says what you are doing best. God bless you and pray for your detractors, along with those that love you.
Thank you for your courage to defend one of Gods important truths! As a mother of young children, I can only hope for them to grow up to be a strong young lady like yourself. You keep your head up high, and stay strong through your trials. For this life is so short and our sufferings for Christ only bring us closer to him. My prayers are with you and your family.
Thank you for your courage! The many negative reactions you received show that the pro-homosexual "marriage" movement is not essentially about love, equity, tolerance, or freedom of expression -- it's about sex, and it will come down hard on anyone who stands up for sexual morality according to God's law.
May the hostility to which you have been exposed help you to actually grow in the love of the Lord and to pray for the conversion of sexually addicted persons (just like I used to be).
I VOTED NO ON GAY MARRIAGE IN CALIFORNIA (OR YES ON PROPOSITION 8). I AM WITH YOU. I WOULD ALSO VOTE NO ON BORN CRIMINALS TO COMMIT CRIMES. LET'S PROTECT OUR TRADITIONAL FAMILY VALUES!

You heard the truth and you spoke the truth. This is what a prophet does. Jesus was anointed by His Father with the Spirit to be priest prophet and king. We in our baptism are anointed with the same Spirit. The Spirit that is God. You are in good company. The people in the time of Jesus persecuted Him for telling the truth and He tell us that, "if they hate you, remember they hated me first." Don't let them scare you. Jesus is with you.
Stay serene Sarah & keep receiving the Holy Eucharist !!!
Today's my 15th birthday. And your testimony was the best present I could have ever had. Keep it up! :)
I pray that you will not be discourage by hatred. Anyone who tries to do real good in this world will find support and will endure the vitriol of radical opposition. Stay strong in your convictions, put your faith in God and may you have the blessed peace that comes in knowing you do all things for the greater glory of God, TJ

As Pope John Paul II said, be not afraid. God is watching over you. Your parents have obviously raised a very holy child. I don't know if I would have had the nerve to stand up the way you have when I was your age. God bless you and your family. Thank you.
God Bless people like yourself with a conscious, it’s about time people aired such content in support of gods marriage plan. If people want to be gay that’s their business, but they have NO right in changing the churches marriage ceremony, this ceremony was handed down to the church through the ages and should REMAIN as is. It is not a LAW OR REGULATION to be changed or amended, it is a sacrament and sacraments CANNOT AND SHOULD NOT BE altered. (What next! Will people want to change the other sacraments) May God continue to protect all his sacraments Amen.

You were not the one who spoke but the HOLY SPIRIT in so do no fear th THREE PERSONS ARE WITH YOU( THE FATHER, SON AND THE HOLY SPIRIT.
God ordained mariage between man and woman and use His son to show us example by been borne by a woman married to a man.
SPEAK LOUD THE LORD IS WITH YOU EVERYWHERE.
God Bless you for speaking the TRUTH with great charity. YOU ARE AMAZING!!
May God bless you and your family! You have been really brave for speaking God's Truth. It is my dearest wish that some of our priests spoke out like you did.
Young as you are, I am sure you realise that speaking up for God comes at a price. That is what led Jesus to His Crucifixion and Death.
You are right about the 'inborn' thing. Can we say that there is a gene for making a good basketball player? Being tall is an advantage and there is a gene for making people tall. The rest is finding a good coach and lots of hard work! Being 'gay' is far more about choice than genes.

your courage to speak the truth is an inspiration to all of us! May our crucified Lord bless you and your family!
"Evil talks about tolerance only when it’s weak. When it gains the upper hand, its vanity always requires the destruction of the good and the innocent, because the example of good and innocent lives is an ongoing witness against it. So it always has been. So it always will be."
Archbishop Charles J. Chaput
People who post hate comments on the internet rarely think things through. They find that just because they are anonymous that it is okay to be ignorant and hurtful. My best advice is just to not read what they have to say, no matter how strong your urge is. We must follow God's way despite the bruises we may find along the journey.
such as yourself to stand up and speak the truth. This gives us hope for the future of America. Thank your parents for your good upbringing also! We are praying for you and your family.
there is not one thing on this earth that does not have a value.
again God Bless you and your family
In today's world, like 2000 years ago, they don;t want to hear God's Word.
You should be VERY PROUD, you give me HOPE for the future, Stand Strong yyou are TRULEY SPEAKING AND STANDING UP FOR GOD

I admire and will pray for you and I know God looks down on you with total love knowing you are right. Unfortunately we live in an evil world and the devil is busy. We need more people like you.
God bless you.
You and your family will be in my prayers.
Please try to ignore the characters who have the time to write nasty things and threaten you. You have the right to express your opinion just as they do.
I regret that in this country at present, some people feel they are 'more equal' than others. Please know that there are many who feel as you do and support your views. Many people do not write comments. I've never written a comment but, because you were celebrating a birthday, I wanted to stand in support of you.
God Bless, Sarah,
Al
Perhaps you should get a Lawyer and have him examine some of the threats made against you, and get protection or money from law suits or both.
Stay strong and never give up. God bless you and your family always. You will be in my prayers.
I for one will defend marrage that is between a man and a woman.
I know sometimes it can be hard to do the right thing, after all look what they did to Jesus, but BRAVO & know God will protect you & bless you abundantly to defending TRUTH. I wish there were more enlightened & strong young people like you.
I AM Grateful,

We believe in Poland we can protect the concept that marriage is only between one man and one woman as it is nowadays in our country.
First task of marriage is to give love each other. The love is always a strong creative force - and manifestation of creativity of the love in the marriage is to have children and take care of them and give them love.
I'm really sad if one wants to redefine fundamental concepts just to make his life easier, more comfortable, more pleasant.
Tomorrow will be the first day of Lent - Ash Wednesday - Please, let everybody turns head in right way, make the road of your life more straight.
Good job, young Sarah, Jesus said He is the Way, the Truth and the Life. You have this in your heart as you spoken such testimony. I'll be pray for you!
keep up the good works young lady and may God Bless.
What a wonderful GIFT you are from God! Your faith shows us WHY God gifted your Mother and Father with you! Without them conceiving you, we would not be so proud. Did you notice how the Holy Spirit gave you the correct words when you were to speak about Marriage between a man and a woman? Do know that the Holy Spirit will help you throughout your life. And, you will be protected by the Holy Spirit and our Dear Blessed Virgin Mary. Remember to ask for help, and, we will PRAY for you each and every day!!!
By your brave statement, you have earned some jewels for your heavenly crown. God is so pleased with you as am I and the majority of the American people. You must come from wonderful parents!
You are an extraodinary girl! Like so many things if life, we inherit from generations past or take over from our predecessors "truths" that are on loan to us for future generations to know. Thank you for speaking the truth on marriage.
God and Jesus will protect you and your family because you are doing as God has instructed. It is those who refuse to follow God's law that lash out against the truth! I hope and pray you get your wish however right now the secularist who are inspired by Satan seem to be in control and are getting stronger. Not everyone will be saved in the end. Stick to you beliefs andnever doubt God or Jesus and you too will see heaven. God Blessyou!
We all support you and your family. We are praying for you. We are all in this together - you are not alone - and good will eventually prevail. God Bless you and continue to give you courage and hope.
There are far too many who turn their back on Christian values and proclaim the old hippie philosophy of "live and let live".There is much apathy in our county.
Know that you are not alone in this. There are so many of us who are behind you and are praying for you and your family. Good will eventually prevail. God bless you and continue to give you courage and hope.
Happy birthday, and keep up your courage, Sarah noble! ;)
You are an extraordinary girl! Like so many other things in life, "truths" are not so much something we inherit from generations past or take over from our predecessors as it is something on loan to us from future generations. Thank you for speaking the truth on marriage.
If my children can be as courageous, and display such faith when they are your age, as you just did, then I will be a very happy, and proud mother... God bless you, honey.
Many Blessings

Thank You & God bless you all.
Put on the "Armor of God" from Ephesian 6 :10-18 each morning & also pray to St. Michael the Archangel for protection. We are in a battle of "Spiritual Warfare".
You are a Great warrior! Keep up the good work. Praying for you.
I am standing with you. Behind you 100%!
about & with love & freedom, hate & violence are satan's top tools, it is very easy to tell who has love in their heart, & who is holding hands with the devil. Anyone who speaks so hatefully
expressing harm & destruction, through
their passion, cannot share any real Love
with any creater at all, until he learns this.
What a witness to the Faith.
God bless.X
Saint Micheal the Archangel, be our defence against the wickedness and snares of the devil. May God rebuke him we humble pray, and do though oh prince of the heavenly host, by the power of God, thrust into hell Satan and all the evil spirits who prowl about the world seeking the ruin of souls.
I am a teenager just as you are. i know, through my own experiences, that standing up for what you believe in is not always thought highly of according to society and that it can be hard knowing that some may persecute you. but you were strong and faithful! you did the right thing! i commend you for that! i will pray for you and your family that you will stay strong in your beliefs through the persecution and also for your safety. god bless!
You are doing more with your life at the young age of fourteen than most kids your age are.
God also Bless everyone who are keeping up the fight against the satanic ideas which we now find in our beloved country, as well as the rest of the world!
You are such a brave and courageous person and I congratulate you for standing up to the truth. Marriage is only between one man and one woman! God bless you and your family. Happy Birthday.
If you are standind in God's side you're right!
He will reward you!
Regards!
God Bless You..
We applaud you for your courage. Be assured of our prayers.
BTW Happy birthday!
I also hope your experience of persecution does not sway you from following what you know to be right. God bless you.
Your Sister in Christ,
Vina
We believe in a judgement day & you will be found in great favor. Love.
I am the mother of 3 daughters and if any of them stood up for marriage as you did, I would be extremely proud of them. You did the right thing. God bless you
God Bless you
I've just posted a comment on a "gay" website based in England, where they are bemoaning the fact that Sarah is homeschooled because that breeds intolerance, as opposed to state schools breeding conformity to the latest politically correct fad!
They are also very concerned that such views could be held by a 14 year old, since she's obviously much too young to know about these things etc etc.
They've forgotten two things: firstly, that they insist on pushing explicit "gay" sex education down the throats of 14 year olds and younger, and - in their fury - they've also forgotten that their leader, Peter Tatchell, is campaigning to lower the age of consent to (at least) fourteen!
Double standards, illogical, you name it. People who well and truly deserve a plage of haggis for breakfast!
God bless, Sarah - well done!
God bless you and your Family.
Thanks you for speaking up. May God bless and protect you and your family.
Our Blessed Mother intercedes on your behalf.
Your sister in Christ,
JoAnne
College Student Assaulted Over Gay Marriage Editorial

I'm a 17 year old girl, so I can understand how tough this must have been. I've got to tell you though, that you're my new hero! Keep it up, stories like this only provide encouragement for people like me! There's so many others our age out there who will gladly stand up with you! Just keep doing what you're doing and you'll find the support, or the support will find you!
Keep supporting God's morals!!!
warmest wishes from Karen in Cambridge in the UK
Sarah, you are so brave! Praise God!
St. Maximilian Kolbe.
Well Done!
God bless you and your family.
Keep the good work. We will be praying for
you and all those persecuted for following
God's teachings.
God Bless
God bless.
Sometimes it is hard to stand up for the right thing. God bless you for speaking your voice. Marriage was ordained because it was known that by nature it requires one man and one woman to conceive a child. It is impossible to do otherwise. Two men cannot do that and neither can two women. The lack of intelligence on this issue is overwhelming. The second point of marriage is that children need both a provided and protector as well as a nurturer and cargiver, hence marrige to protect the family unit. Lord, help us all.
I am very proud of you! You are truly a brave girl. I will keep you in my prayers. I will also pray for the rest of us adults to be as courageous as yourself.
God Bless You!
Every diverse opinion is met with vitriolic condemnation and death threats. "Choice" has always meant their "choice" only; no one else's is tolerated.
I congratulate this girl with the courage to say that marriage is was always was meant to be between a man and a woman.
God bless you for your strength of character!
Stand firm, but be aware that those on the left are ruthless and capable of any evil action that stands in their way of tearing down established religion and governments. They stand opposed to God and country and are unfortunately are dividing this country and moving it closer and closer to a civil war.
May God's angels protect you from all evil and may you feel God's loving arms wrapped tightly around you! You will be greatly rewarded for speaking God's truth!!!
Thank you for your courage. It's a gift from God. May He continue to bless and protect you.
May Jesus continue to bless you with faith, wisdom, and courage!
S.
Try not to think too badly of those who threaten you; they are people who are hurting and it may be that your example is the only real help they get even though they are not receptive to it right now.
After all, their tenet is that consenting adults should be able to marry, so why should this be limited to just two of them?
Gay people are not what I think should be hated (I don't) and aren't by most people. It is the act that is wrong.
Gay "marriage" is wrong - it says sex between people of the same sex is wrong in the bible. the courts in Mass said it was ok. Things like that should not be left up to the courts or legislatures and if it is wanted the people should decide the way they tried in California.
I will pray for God's protection for you and your family. I hope you know there are many more people who support you than those who are against you.
May God bless you and send St. Michael to protect you.
AMDG
Your reward will be great in Heaven !! Don't back down. You have a lot of support.
Having relatives caught in this "death style," I know there is nothing "gay" about its practice: homosexuals destroy their lives, and give agony to those who desire their well being.
There is a connection between this behavior and contraception, which separates the conjugal act of marriage from its natural end -- procreation of human life. Natural order is thus replaced by selfish pursuits of pleasure as the sole reason for existence - thus debasing man, making him less than a beast.
This inversion of Natural order makes human life valueless; thus the increasing tendency towards practices that destroy human dignity and life: abortion, euthanasia, cloning, pedophilia, incest, bestiality, sadism and sodomy.
The pursuit of a Godless humanity will bring forth a lifeless society. God is not mocked.
"Remember the word that I said unto you, The servant is not greater than his lord. If they have persecuted me, they will also persecute you." And remember the great blessing you have acquired, which will remain with you forever.
Keep firm and God bless you.
Do not be discourage by the evil in this world. God will always win over the darkness. People like you scare them. You are pure and innocent and they are not. Keep the Lord's light shining bright in your heart and let it shine. I will be praying for you and your family. Thank you for being so brave for the cause and God Bless you all.
Deb+
against same-sex marriage. What an abomination before God. You have not only defended marriage between one man and one
woman, but also the teaching of the Catholic church which is under attack. May God bless and protect you, and may the Blessed Virgin Mary cover you with her mantle of love and protection. Ellen
You are truely doing God's will .. you know how you are ??
Because those threats show you you did great damage to the kingdom of darkness and the devil lashed out !! keep it up!! Prayers and support are with you!! Peace!
To Sarah's Parents: You have raised an exemplary young lady. Congratulations on the job you have done. May you all be continually blessed; may you all remain strong in your faith, and steadfast in your courageous beliefs.
Thank you for stating the truth and for being such a blessing to children and adults. I am very proud of you and the courage you showed. I don't think you realize it but you are a hero. I will be praying for your protection from "hate speech" directed towards you and your family. God bless you!
More 14 year old girls should have the intelligence and clarity to speak as well as you did. Young people like you will do very well in life because of your awareness of what the world should be like in God's design.
God bless you and your parents for being so brave and acting as a witness to the truth. Please do not let those that hate deter you from standing up for your beliefs and being a witness to Christ. The power of evil is so prevalent in the media and certain groups in society who are rabidly trying to transform this great country into a secular, amoral culture. The truth and Christ's kingdom is more powerful though. You Sarah are close to God's heart being such a young soldier for Christ. We are all proud of your bravery at such a young age.
God Bless, Karen
Thank you for showing courage! You speak the truth and God will bless you.
Thank you for fighting the good fight and for your wonderful witness! I also struggle with being beaten down with this issue because so many of my Catholic/Christian college friends stand up for gay marriage and it is so hard to challenge them without them thinking I am intolerant. Let's remain strong and continue to stand up for our morals, values, and the beautiful order that God has created! Thanks again and God Bless!
God bless you for your courage in standing up for the truth. It is never easy to go against 'popular' opinion, but you did so with grace and love. May you and your family be blessed. We'll pray for you!
Keep up the great work and do not let idle threats intimidate you! We have the First Ammendment to back us up!!!!! God bless you and keep you. With much love and prayers.
Your sister in Christ
Stand up for God, and do what is right, no matter how many people are against it. People that say such things are obviously not with God. We are proud of you, and so is Jesus!
God bless you.
all these characters who attack God and Religion will soon find out how God can deal with them!
Felicidades Sara. Dios te bendiga.
Congratulations Sarah. God bless you.
It must be that God has a serious ministry for you, to be called at such a young age and be willing to take a stand for truth and family values. We face a definite need for those who will stand for Godly priciples. You have our prayerful support. May God's blessings be upon you.
We also pray that God may enlighten more of us to be witnesses to the truth.
Thnaks sarah for being such a wonderful role model!
You are a child of God... and He has sent you here! Praise the Lord for .. " out of the mouth of babes..." Darling- be not afraid for Our Lord is with you always and stay close to Him especially through Mother Mary - our greatest intercessor, for His power is above all else!
Pray for those who hurt you, Sarah- through prayer and this suffering for the truth, pray that these lost souls may repent and be converted- May the Lord have mercy on them and us all!
May God bless and protect you always and keep you and your family safe in the palm of His Almighty hand!
Let us pray! Allison
God Bless all of you
Earl
you abundantly.
May God bless you for your courage and strong faith. Thank you !
Ave Maria
God bless,
Just know that you are on God's side and reinforcing His teachings. Those that oppose are doing satans work and they know it, they need our prayers as their souls are not lost, yet. Love your enemy as yourself, (you don't have to like them though!!). God is not mocked and you will become a better person because of your trials, for all of us.
God Bless You Always,
Liz J.
Do not let bad things that other people say about you make you afraid. You have spoken the truth, a truth that other people need to hear even if they do not want to. God bless!
God Bless you and your family. Thank you for standing for the truth.
Know that you are not alone in your feelings. The Lord will not forsake you. God Bless You.
God bless!
You are special and so loved by God. Not only did He create you but died with you in mind that you may live. Please forgive those who threaten and say unkind things about you for they know not what they are doing.
I will offer a mass for you and your family.
John
Thank you for your courageous and truth-filled words. Since the beginning of mankind, marriage has been between one man and one woman. There will be no more world if this is no longer the case. May God bless you for speaking up.
GOD bless you for your courage. God bless your family for taking a stand before every moral fiber of this country is ripped by democrats and we descend to a barberic depraved society with absolutely no values. Just look at the awards show as what is called entertainment.
God bless Sarah and her family.
If God be for us who can be against us. The fool says in His heart there is no God. They are corrupt and there is no one who does good. But al have turned aside from God's ways. The LORD laughs at them.
He is our peace who has brokem down every wall. So cast all your cares on Him for He cares for u.
than her enemies. Their own words reveal
their bigeted hatred for anyone that disagrees with them. Obviously, her parents raised her well. Something very
lacking in those who made those visious
remarks.
You have much more wisdom at your young age than all of those other people put together!! Don't worry...you have millions of people behind you, and what's more...you have GOD Himself!
God bless you.
Your bravery is inspirational to adults and young persons who struggle with the barrage of pressure to tolerate all lifestyles. It is so prevalent that several students at my wife's high school have already had, or are in the process of having sex changes. They are so confused, so young, and making decisions that will haunt them the rest of their lives! Your words give hope to teens that normal is OK! It is OK to be a man and love a woman, and a woman loving a man. Families work best that way, God made nature that way! God Bless you.
seeing your determination and courage to stand for truth sets an example for me and gives me courage to always stand for truth.
Thank God we have young people like Sarah who are not squeamish about speaking truth.
You are so right Sarah in that children are the ones that suffer in same-sex parent households.
Angel 2.
I applaud your bravery. You are clear voice in the midst of confusion. We have contorted God's plan of nature, his biological order, and most of all his desire for his human creations to procreate within a heterosexual, committed, permanent relationship. As man and woman give themselves to each other selflessly, within that environment children are best loved, nurtured and allowed to develop true character. Conversely, a homosexual union is based on selfish satisfaction and base pleasure, passing on these foundations to the children they have acquired from a former heterosexual relationship or have adopted. Society will never survive with such self-serving ideals being promoted and bred into its members.
Your courage and other people's reactions to it made me cry. Like Jesus you come as a sign of contradiction to cause division between thouse who chose God and those who chose the Other one. My prayers with you!
Please do not be intimidated by all the negative comments. What you have said is 100% correct. Same sex marriages are not from GOD.I pray that more people will be inspired to stand up and be counted in speaking up against those that discredit traditional marriages, i.e. between 1 man and 1 woman.
Christus Vinci
The world needs millions more like you.
God Bless you always you brave little girl.
Love,
Daphne xx
I will pray that these words take root in your young heart and give you His peace. Thank you for your simple honest speech.
Warm regards!
Thank you so much for taking time on your birthday to defend marriage. God did intend for marriage to be between a man and women. It was so important that Jesus'first miracle was at the wedding in Canah when he changed water into wine.May God bless you and your family,

"Do not be afraid," our Lord will always stand by those who love and serve Him faithfully! Keep up the good fight! We are here for you and your family! Mama Mary and St. Joseph are beaming at you from heaven! :)
You are obviously guided by the Holy Spirit in speaking those brave words. And by the same Spirit you and your family will be protected. Now as to who or what is guiding those people who made those vicious comments, I don't need 3 guesses. May God continue to bless you and your family.
God bless you and your family. God honors those who honor Him and his commandments. Stay strong in Jesus.
Let us pray and fast for a change in heart for those in need.
God bless you and your wonderful family for raising such a God loving young lady.
You will be greatly rewarded for standing up for what is right. Stay strong, the Awesome God is on your side!
As we enter the Lenten season, contemplate that they crucified Jesus Christ Who had lived only perfect love during his entire public ministry. Still, the Holy Trinity has triumphed alrady! Be blessed and know that you are loved! Stay strong and know that you will be consoled. Yet, let us all pray for our enemies, many of whom remain blinded to the truth by our adversary.
Love and prayers
Sweet child of God, you have won everlasting life!
I find it funny that people are fighting so hard to legalize/legitimize gay marriage but very few people are fighting against poverty, illiteracy and racism.
FYI Don't worry about the HATERS, God is for you.
God bless you and your family. It is good to see people stand up for the truth.
Marriage can only ever be between a man and a woman!
God bless you! I shall pray for you!
Graham
God bless you for speaking the TRUTH. Remember, anger is evil and not of God. So, do not get angry but rejoice in the love of God and not the love of man.
Fight the good fight.

God bless you and your family for your defense of God's plan for love, marriage, and family.
Thank you for having the courage to speak up to protect the sacrament of marriage. May God bless you and your family. Let us all choose to love and pray for those who disagree. May God have mercy on us all!
Thank you for your bravery in standing up for what is right in this world. I am so sorry you are being treated so hatefully for peacefully exercising your rights as an American. I wish that those demanding tolerance would extend the same tolerance they seek to you. You and your family are in my prayers for safety from bullying, and comfort when the hate hurts your feelings.
I am so proud of you to stand up for what you believe. Your parents, I am sure, are so proud of you, too. They have raised a brave, intelligent and moral minded young lady.
I support you in your your message of one man, one woman marriage. It is God ordained and biblically righteous. God has given us free will to chose to obey or disobey His words. As for me and my family, we chose to obey.
God made them man and woman in order to leave their parents and marry, to cleave unto eachother forever. And that is how it should be. He saw that this was good and He said to go and populate the earth. Same sex couples cannot do that! But, as I said, He gave us free will. One can chose this lifestyle, but others of strong faith and love of the Lord should not have to condone this!
I don't judge anyone for their choice, that is between them and God. But I have rights to my beliefs!
If more of us had the courage that you have displayed, this country would be a much better place. You have truly inspired us all. You and your family are in our prayers.
I want to say I am very proud of you. Stand by god and he will protect you.You are in my prayers
God Blessed you. We will pray for you and your family.
May God strengthen you and give you courage. May He send His holy Angels to watch over you and guide you and your family in this time of persecution.
You remind me of St. Philomena who herself was very young when she was persecuted.
Thank you for being so brave!!
Thank you for your courage. You are an awesome warrior for Christ! May God bless and protect you and your family always.
Truth will prevail.

pray the rosary everyday, it defeats heresy and one of the fatima visionaries lucia said there is nothing the rosary cannot overcome. Our Lady asked for the Rosary to be said every day, so why are we ignoring this mandate from heaven at our peril. every catholic worth their salt must be saying the Rosary.
GOD bless you all,

incapable of reproduction, there would be NO BLONDES ON EARTH in a matter of a few generations. So too with people who are homosexually oriented. Stick to your principles and stand tall.
God Bless you and keep you strong Sarah. May more of our country's youth take control and fight against the evils of this world so that THEIR world may be a safer, saner place to live.
Christ be with me, Christ within me,
Christ behind me, Christ before me,
Christ beside me, Christ to win me,
Christ to comfort and restore me,

You are one of the BRAVE ones who aren't afraid to stand up for what GOD teaches - that our choices are either right or wrong and HE sets the standard! Thank you for being "strong and courageous!!!
If God had meant people of the same sex to be together he would have made it so in the Garden of Eden.
God Bless you Sarah and protect you from all the liberal violence and evil in this world.vPdd3
God bless you young Lady. Continue to be brave and know that millions of people are with you. No observant Jew or Christian could ever support the Homosexual Agenda. It's sad that these people are so full of hatred, pray for them.
Thank you for what you did for our Faith.

the strength, fortitude, integrity and love that you have shown in defending marriage.
God Bless you, and your wonderful family who gave you the values you embody.
May God bless you abundantly for taking a stance in favor of His teahiing on the sactity of marriage between a man and a woman. His peace and tranquility to you.
God will bless you and repay you for defending marriage between a man and a woman.
Well done! You make us proud dear one. The wife of Abraham, Our Father in the faith...your parents gave you a blessed name. You fit the name. Be at peace and pray for those that persecute you.
Blessings and strength for the battle is not over.
all that is good and valuable in our country...in the midst of much confusion.
Happy Birthday!
Sarah, thank you for speaking up. Thank you for being so brave. I am praying for your continued strength, for your family, and for the conversion of those people. Never stray from the truth...even if the truth is not popular. Thank you for speaking on the truth of Marriage.
Embrace White Martyrdom, Sarah, for through it God will give you the grace to forever please Him...so that someday you can be crowned victorious with the Saints who have gone before us. God bless you!
I will pray for you that the demons attacking you will be sent back to HELL>
May St. Michael the Archangel protect and keep you safe.
God's love and mercy be with you.
You are on the brink of adulthood so use this situation to strengthen your resolve & humbly defend your belief system. May ST MICHAEL bless & protect you !!
Your reward will greater than anything you coukd imagine. GOD is so pleased when we do Him Honor and Glory. My prayers fir your perseverance in your remarkable faith,
May God Bless you and your family and may HIS Holy Face Shine on your generation and protect them from the lying serpant
Do not worry about this evil situation. Remember that Our Lord is on your side always. The Church and all of us true Catholics are also on your side.
This is a true and blessed opportunity for you and your lovely family to show Our Lord your faith and your true value as Christian Catholics.
My prayers and support are always with you. Thank you for being who you are.
My love, respect and admiration to you in Christ Jesus. Sincerely,
Your brother in Christ, Roberto Jesus.
All that they are tolerant of is evil.
And now the mask is off and we see them for what they truly are.
One way or another the truth comes out.
You are a brave young lady! You have done the right thing and I know God is so pleased with you. I find it interesting that those who argue "tolerance" are the ones who are so full of hate when others have a different opinion than they do. Stay strong in your faith and morals! I will be praying for you and your family.
May God bless you and your family, and your angel protect you always!
We all need to follow this young ladies example and stand up for traditional values.
Keep up the good work I will be praying for you and your success in the Maryland election.
2Tim 3:12 '...everyone who wants to live a godly life in Christ Jesus will be persecuted....'
You have acted more righteously than many Christian leaders who have the same conviction but not the same courage.
I am proud of you. It takes courage to speak up against wrong! God bless and keep you and your family. Stay Strong!
In Christs Love,
Michael & Margie Newberry
You are a brave young lady whose parents must be extremely proud of you. You have the courage to stand up for your belief in God and his commandments. Take comfort in the promise of God that those who are persecuted for His sake will receive a glorious crown in Heaven. “Blessed are you when people insult you, persecute you and falsely say all kinds of evil against you because of me. Rejoice and be glad, because great is your reward in heaven, for in the same way they persecuted the prophets who were before you." Matthew 5:11-12

If there were more God Fearing people like you, our country would not be in the horrible mess it is currently in.
God Bless you and keep you strong - thank you for the example of what a true Christian is.
I salute you for your courageous stand to speak up for traditional marraige.The world would be a better place if more people like you will stand up and defend the Truth. May God bless and protect you and your family.
God bless you and your family
Thank you! You are a wonderful girl and an example for us all.You gave a great testimony for God and he is going to recognize you in the Glory of His Kingdom.The Cross is a great gift. The joy of beeing loved by God and to love Him is the most beautiful thing in life. Happy will be those who are persecuted because of the name of Crist, their reward shall be great in Heaven.
Suffering accepted in love and offered to God is a tremendous weapon against evil.
At 14 you have already accomplished great things in speaking out the Truth.
God loves you!
Thank you and thank your parents for me.
A proud father of four and husband from TX
we have the right to dissagree, to even speak out against what another believes but giving some one deaththreats is beyond freedom of expression and free speach.
As an advocate of marrage myself I see nothing this girl has done is wrong.
if a person is murdered for expressing their views it will re-enforce the belief that marrage needs to be all the more so-defended and for those millitant homosexauls I want to thank you as this has encouraged me to be more out spoken about marrage.
Praying for you. God bless you.
The calm, truthful testimony of a 14-year-old minor – without profanity or harsh language – generated vulgar attacks, threats of violence and even death wishes divulged on numerous pro-homosexual websites, blogs, and comment entries.
I don't live in Your country and I'm a Polish, but heroism isn't only in Europe... Who knows what will happen in Poland, and I hope that when LGBT arrive here (they have recently come), we'll have somebody like You. May Our Lord and His Holy Mother bless You in Your difficult way.
CONGRATULATIONS FOR YOUR PASSION FOR THE TRUTH!!!
CONGRATULATIONS FOR YOUR PASSION FOR THE TRUTH!!!
YOU ARE NOT ALONE THERE IS CHRIST WITH YOU AND US.
CONGRATULATIONS FOR YOUR PASSION FOR THE TRUTH!!
You are not alone, there is Christ and us with you.

May The Lord cover you up in "His Pecious Blood" and protect you. Say this three times daily. How wonderful for youth to speak and be brave. I shall pray for you and your family. Well Done!

"Blessed are they who are persecuted for the sake of righteousness, for theirs is the Kingdom of Heaven" Matthew 5:10.
You spoke out based on your moral compass and religious conviction. The hate-filled responses you received came from those who do not have true Christian values. You know that God will reward you for your witness and the for persecution you are receiving.
God bless you, guide you and protect you, always.
Do not hear man. We fear God alone who can kill body and soul.Courage. I will keep you in my prayer. God Himself will destroy those who will harm you. God says, "vengance is mine. Do not be afraid defending truth. You are awesome !
Reading your testimony has given me a lot of hope that there are young people out there with clear ideas. You have the support of, I would dare to say, the silent majority, so stay strong inside and let's keep praying that all those who think or behave otherwise begin to see, accept and be guided by the truth.
There are many, many more of us who feel the same as you do than there are of the misguided people who are trying
to hurt you. They just can't stand the
fact a clear headed young person like
you can see right through them and will
not allow them to force their immoral
agenda on you (or the rest of us)! By saying bad things or threatening you they are showing their true colors. Take heart; we are with you 100 % .
God bless you and your family.
John Vincenzi
I admire you for your courage in your wonderful testimony defending Marriage between one man and one woman. The new legislation is a total disgrace in promoting the sin of homosexuality. God Bless you and keep up the good fight!
God Love's you so much! We admire your courage.
God Bless you!
I am preparing news for Czech pro-life organization and I do not omit your voice.
May God bless you and your family x .
May the passion of Jesus be always in our hearts .
I think it's humorous in a sad way that these people have to resort to such drastic measures as threatening a young person. If they have to resort to that then surely you are doing some kind of damage to what they choose to believe:) When children can strike fear into the enemy that shows our strength... the strength of those fighting for traditional marriage!
Thank you for being so brave and faithful to your faith. My family and I will be praying for you and your family. You are a blessing in this quite broken world.
Leviticus 20:13
"If a man lies with a male as with a woman,
both of them have committed an abomination;
they shall be put to death,
their blood is upon them."
Homosexuals are not to be hated or impugned;
they are to be loved and prayed for.
A great strategy is for us do the praying,
and leave the judging to God.
And when they insult us,
we are to do just like Jesus did during the Passion
– Turn the other cheek and ask God to forgive them.
Why? Because no servant is greater than his Master.
It's wonderful to see a young lady with moral fiber.
I'm proud of you and your families values.
Jim Thiles
God bless you for clearly stating your postion for traditional marriage. May our Lord, Jesus and His Blessed Mother as well as Jesus' foster father, Joseph protect you and your family. May the Holy Spirit guide and console you to speak out and stand for your faith.
You stand for what is right and just. Do not let Satan and his followers destroy you. Be strong! God in His infinite goodness will give you the strength you need. Happy Birthday, Sarah.
You are very courageous for your testimony! Remember another young girl who bravely did God's will and eventually lost her life for doing it - St. Joan of Arc. May she and St. Michael the Archangel watch over you and your family!
You are courageous.
God Bless You
That said, this girl is no Jessica Ahlquist. A big difference is that Ahlquist was right and was constantly threatened. Marriage rights are gonna happen, they need to happen and we shouldn't let people strip others of rights because their faith said it's ok. Sorry, that's not how it works in America. Try Iran, they're big on that sort of thing.
God bless you and your family!
So God Bless you, and know many are on your side, including me Luis T. Puig, MM1/SS, US Navy Submarine Force.
Never doubt that you were led by the Holy Spirit in what you said. It was the perfect truth. Those who believe in lies will always hate the truth. It's not really you they hate, it's God's truth about marriage that they hate. Bless you and your family for being willing to stand against the tide of hatred and perversion that is trying to destroy our marriages and our families.
is all we need to change our world back to what it once was
A GARDEN OF EDEN not hell on earth.!
LGBT do not want tolerance - they want persecution of anybody who dare oppose them.
Heh. Yep. But on both sides.
Does it bother none of you that there were no citations, no links to these comments so we could see for ourselves?
Her "testimony" doesn't even make any sense. Gay marriage does not affect her in any way. Can anyone give ONE reasonable way that gays getting married affects her? At all?
I know the Gays and "Christians" (I can only use quotes, because Christ-like is not something I see at all in these hateful comments about fellow human beings) are at odds most of the time. But all gays aren't the same, you can't lump them into a group like that. Just like all Christians aren't the same.
Maybe if you actually followed Christ, he might do something a little different?
Godspeed, Sarah, Go!
You are entitled to your opinion and have the right to voice it. I think you are wrong but that in no way justifies the response you are getting from the jerks and the small minded.
Put all your trust in the Jesus through the Blessed Virgin Mary
GOD BLESS YOU!!!
Thank you for giving witness to the truth.
May the Holy Spirit be with you on your journey through life. And may God bless you and your loving family abundantly with His graces.
It's the internet. What do people expect? Humans are the most violent species on the Earth; if people can lash out without the fear of being found, then they will.
The stupidity of the reporter astounds me. This kind of thing comes from everyone on the planet.
I agree with you. Thank you for speaking the truth. Marriage is between one man and one woman.
In general children are much better off when they are raised up by a father and a mother who are committed to each other in a lifelong marriage.
Society as a whole is also better off when children are raised in this environment.
God Bless You!
You go girl, speak Psalm 91 over yourself and your family and you will be protected. The angel of the Lord encampathe around those who love the Lord
child can't express her honest opinion
without being vilified. As an American
you have the right to freedom of expression, and that means that, sometimes, you will hear a point of view that you don't agree with. If you do, the responsible, adult response is to state your opposing opinion in a calm,
objective manner without attacking the person you disagree with. Now I may not totally agree with this child's opinion
(there is some scientific evidence that
homosexuality is biologically pre-determined) but she expressed herself in
a mature, intelligent manner. It is a sad commentary on our society when it is
a 14 year old who is the adult in the
room! Shame on all those filthy mouthed and filthy minded cretins who attacked a
child for exercising her rights as an
American.
As for tolerance, yes as long as you agree with their agenda.
What other sexual preference do you see people get so angry about? It is obvious that is it deviant as because when it is confronted they usually respond in anger, even if people are trying to deal with them in fair and loving manner.
please open you eye all come to Gog
Remember only God's opinion is the one that counts, the opinions of others doesn't matter as it will not be them that you are standing before on Judgement Day. Thanks for standing up for what you believe!
Your Mom has to be very grateful to have you. Jesus has spoken thorugh your mouth. Do not be afraid. The Virgin Mary will be with you. She is your mother too.
It is always a pleasure to be around young people who are polite, and respectful of others. The child who smiles and acknowledges those around him, the one who offers to help because it's the right thing to do. These kids have good role models: a loving, responsible mother and father. And more than likely they are homeschooled by parents who are selfless. Please, GOD give us a christian President, Senators, Govenors, Mayors, Judges, Teachers, Professors and those with authority - who know you, love you, and serve you.
God Bless!
I admire this young lady's innocence and courage. May her faith in Jesus Christ and her resolute espousal of the truth continue to inspire other youth to "come out of the closet" and defend Christianity and traditional marriage.
Thank you very much from all those who share your beliefs in Australia.
We are facing similar problems in this country.
God bless you Sarah.
