GAY TRUTH

The New Democratic government of Alberta has apparently forgotten its duty to protect religious freedom and parental rights in the wake of Education Minister David Eggen’s open letter promising LGBT students the right to express their sexual proclivities in defiance of the religious beliefs that are foundational to many Alberta Christian and public schools. Meanwhile, the province’s two self-professed conservative parties have apparently forgotten their duty to oppose the government, maintaining a hear-no-evil, see-no-evil, speak-no-evil inaction when faced with the Eggen letter. “The government is not recognizing parental rights or religious freedom,” Brian Coldwell, pastor of a Spruce Grove church and head of the Independent Baptist Christian Education Society, told LifeSiteNews. Coldwell, whose society runs two private schools with 200 students and 1,200 homeschool students, was also strongly critical of the Progressive Conservative and Wildrose parties for the unwilling

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s Liberals intend to implement most, if not all, recommendations contained in the homosexual-rights activist group Egale’s June 2016  The Just Society Report ,   the Globe’s John Ibbitson reported last week. That means Trudeau will apologize, likely in September, to those homosexual Canadians jailed, fired or otherwise penalized in the decades before 1969,   Ibbitson wrote . That was the year Pierre Elliott Trudeau’s Liberals passed an omnibus bill legalizing abortion, and decriminalizing buggery between two consenting adults aged 21 and over, or between a husband and wife. That age of consent for buggery was lowered to 18 in 1987. But more to the point, the Liberals are expected to implement Egale’s proposals, wrote Ibbitson, describing these as “a broad range of reforms that will collectively represent one of the greatest advances for sexual minorities in Canada’s history.” But Gwen Landolt of REAL Women has a starkly different view, warnin

Last week we spoke to a mom who is on the parents council at her elementary school in the Toronto District School Board (TDSB). The mother shared with us that she had asked her Principal for advance notice of all Sex-ed lessons so she could choose whether or not to withdraw her child from class. The Principal stunned her with the following answer:  "We cannot give you advance notice because Sex-ed will be weaved throughout all subjects ". She is now in a battle with her school to have her parental rights respected. Lessons beginning now Now that we are into Spring, the controversial new curriculum will start to be taught at any time, and in some schools, has already started to roll out.  Therefore young children will soon be introduced to adult concepts of sex that are often dangerous to their health, both physically and spiritually. Even earlier than Grade 1 We spoke to another TDSB parent just today, whose five-year-old son was told by his teacher that

A Catholic vice-principal in Ontario who declared she was ‘gay’ days before retirement, while admitting to being in a lesbian partnership, says that she used her position of influence for 28 years in a Catholic school board to advance the LGBTQ cause. “I’ve been doing the work for support for LGBTQ people for a long time, for actually the 28 years I’ve been in the board,” Joan Grundy, retiring vice-principal at St. Mary's Catholic High School in Kitchener, told CTV News . Grundy admitted to CBC News that she had been in a lesbian relationship for about a decade during this time but had presented herself as a faithful Catholic so she could maintain her job with its position of influence. Grundy, who has a Master's degree in theological studies with a concentration in counseling, has penned an account of her explicit rejection of the Catholic teaching on same-sex attraction in a book released this month titled “A Deepening Life”. “'A Deepening Life' is the story o

Bill Whatcott , Saskatchewan ’s irrepressible crusader against homosexuality, has won his second court battle within the month as Judge R.W. Elson ordered the CBC to pay him $30,000 for defamation. In late December Whatcott and his American counterpart, Peter LaBarbera of Americans for Truth About Homosexuality , were both acquitted of trespass charges for handing out flyers at the University of Regina . Late last week he won $30,000 from the CBC, Canada ’s public broadcaster, for a TV news show that said he wanted to kill homosexuals. “I thought they would get off, or that I would only get $1. Their lawyer was that good,” Whatcott told LifeSiteNews via cell phone, as he distributed more flyers (and what he calls “Christian condoms”) at the University of Regina on Monday. The CBC story aired on Oct. 12, 2011, as part of its coverage of Whatcott’s celebrated dispute with the Saskatchewan Human Rights Commission that had just been heard by the Supreme Court of Canada . The comm

English: BMO Centre "Hall A" entrance in Stampede Park, Calgary, Alberta. (Photo credit: Wikipedia ) The Bank of Montreal, Canada ’s fourth largest bank, has begun a process of requiring the businesses with which it works to conform to its pro-homosexual “diversity” standards. In an  October 9th email  to its legal suppliers, leaked by the Institute for Canadian Values, the Bank of Montreal ( BMO ) wrote that to show its “commitment to diversity and inclusion” it will no longer do business with law firms whose diversity standards are “not compatible” with the bank’s. However, the bank indicated that law firms were only the first among many groups it does business with to face the sanctions, stating: “The bank is starting with legal suppliers and going from there.” “BMO requires the law firms with whom we do business to disclose the diversity statistics of their associates, partners and management committee as part of our External Counsel Selection Program,” the co

Some schools have gay–straight alliances or similar groups to counter homophobia and bullying and provide support for LGBT students in school. (Photo credit: Wikipedia ) On the announcement by Ontario school boards that in conjunction with newly imposed “ Gay-Straight Alliance ” clubs, they would be holding a “National Day of Pink,” Steyn’s sarcasm turns acidic. “ Er , I don’t think I have a lot of choice on that front, do I? ‘For schools holding Anti-Bullying events in April, you still have time to order [pink] shirts at a discount.’ That’s great news! Nothing says ‘celebrate diversity’ like forcing everyone to dress exactly the same, like a bunch of Maoists who threw their workers’ garb in the washer but forgot to take the red flag out.” Diversity, as it happens, is where Steyn says “nations go to die.” Canada is one example. “If local Mennonites or Amish were segregating the sexes and making them enter by different doors for religious services in a Toronto grade-school

PFLAG contingent at San Francisco Pride 2004. (Photo credit: Wikipedia ) An international homosexualist advocacy group presented a workshop to students in an Ottawa Catholic high school last March that focused on “ LGBT acceptance” and “different sexualities and genders.” Students in St. Matthew High School in the Ottawa Catholic School Board organized an educational day March 28 titled the “Healthy Minds Initiative” in which they invited PFLAG ( Parents, Families, and Friends of Lesbians and Gays ) to give a workshop. PFLAG, with hundreds of chapters around the world and 60 in Canada , exists to advance “equality and full societal affirmation of LGBT people through its threefold mission of support, education, and advocacy.” It has been a leading proponent of same-sex “marriage” and homosexual adoption. It also opposes abstinence-only education. According to the school’s newsletter, PFLAG’s workshop “focused on the acceptance and inclusion of the LGBT community .” “Th
