Australian of the year 2016 urged to examine rights of children in homosexual marriage debate

-

Australian Christian Lobby Managing Director Lyle Shelton today congratulated the Australian of the Year, Lieutenant General David Morrison, but urged him to examine the other side of the homosexual marriage debate.

“Lieutenant General Morrison’s firm stand against the disrespecting of women in the military was inspirational and he rightly deserves today’s honour.

“However it was disappointing to hear him lending support to changing the definition of marriage, something that entrenches inequality for children who are forced to miss out on their mother or father.

“There is no inequality in Australian law against same-sex couples following law changes in 2008. However, redefining marriage in law would confer a right to found a family which in turn would require children to be conceived through ethically dubious anonymous sperm donation and ultimately commercial surrogacy.

BELFAST,  – Defenders of traditional marriage in Northern Ireland and elsewhere are going to continue to lose ground, even among their own constituency of conservative Christians , until they start talking about the realities and harms of homosexual behavior , one of Belfast ’s leading pro-life and family advocates has said. “No one is putting forward an effective defense of marriage” without mentioning this issue, said Liam Gibson, Northern Ireland office of the Society for the Protection of Unborn Children . “We’ll continue to lose numbers until we do, but whether anyone has the courage do to that is a different matter.” Campaigners for traditional marriage definitions have almost uniformly restricted themselves to lauding the institution as a source of social stability and an ideal environment to raise children, and shied away from critiquing homosexuality itself. And this embarrassment and fear of talking about what homosexual acts actually are crippling the effor...

President Trump is keeping in place a special international LGBT “envoy” established by the Obama administration to promote acceptance of homosexuality , bisexuality and transgenderism abroad in the name of U.S. foreign policy. The reinstatement of open homosexual   Randy Berry  as  Special Envoy for the Human Rights of LGBTI Persons was reported Monday by the homosexual newspaper   Washington Blade . It is another blow to pro-family advocates who oppose the LGBT agenda and are counting on Trump to root out homosexual and abortion activists from the foreign affairs bureaucracy after eight years of Obama’s leftist policies. “Keeping Berry only signals to the world that the extreme agenda of the Obama years is still deeply entrenched in the State Department,” said Tony Perkins , president of the   Family Research Council . A career foreign service officer who speaks Spanish and Arabic,   Berry   was given the   international “LG...

A Catholic school board in Ontario will vote next week on a motion to fly the rainbow-colored homosexual pride flag at all board-run schools during the month of June. Halton Catholic District School Board (HCDSB) Trustee Brenda Agnew gave notice of her motion titled “supporting our diverse school community” during an April 6 board meeting. Quoting Pope Francis along with LGBT talking points about “equity and inclusion,” the motion calls for the Board’s Director of Education Pat Daly to “direct all HCDSB schools including the Catholic Education Centre to fly the Pride flag during the month of June starting with 2021.” The motion is expected to be voted on by the Board at their next meeting on April 20. With nine trustees, the motion requires five votes to pass. A tied vote results in a fail. The HCDSB states on its website that its mission is to provide “excellence in Catholic education by developing Christ-centred individuals enabled to transform society.” The Catholic Church, basing i...
