Egale Canada (Photo credit: Wikipedia ) On Tuesday the Canadian Olympic Committee (COC)  announced  plans to partner with two leading homosexual advocacy groups to promote the homosexual agenda among current Olympic athletes, and Olympic hopefuls in Canadian schools . The COC signed an agreement with You Can Play and Egale Canada in order to "foster LGBTQ inclusivity in national sport" by creating homosexuality-focused "resources" to be incorporated into the Canadian Olympic School Program (COSP), which will focus its efforts on students from grades six to eight. The initiative will also create a new "OneTeam Athlete Ambassador" program, which will promote visits to schools across the country by homosexuality-endorsing athletes. The program's goal is to "establish formal relationships with 25 school boards nationally and connect with 1 million students by the end of 2016." “What started as maybe a video, or a little help with

Celebrity swimmer Ian Thorpe comes out

Ian Thorpe (Photo credit: Wikipedia ) Unlike everyone else in Australia with a microphone or a keyboard, I don’t feel like congratulating Ian Thorpe . The 31-year-old swimming superstar who has won more Olympic golds than any other Australian announced on the weekend that he was gay. With his broad smile, his size 17 shoes, and 6-foot, 5-inch frame, “Thorpedo” is one of Australia’s most popular sportsmen. When Sydney hosted the Olympic Games in 2000, he was Young Australian of the year . Speaking with talk show host Michael Parkinson , Thorpe confirmed years of rumours. His parents were shocked but most of his friends were not surprised. “This is something I thought about for a long time. I am not straight," he told Parkinson. "And this is only something that very recently - we are talking in the past two weeks - I've been comfortable telling the closest people around me." Prominent gays and lesbians were jubilant and welcomed him home. An Australian t

Ottawa mayor to pro-family citizens: ‘I don’t want your vote’

OTTAWA, February 11, 2014  – The mayor of Ottawa has defended the city as it joins other Canadian municipalities in raising a rainbow flag at city hall during the Olympics in Sochi to protest Russia ’s ban on homosexual propaganda. Mayor Jim Watson is facing criticism because of an exchange with one of his critics on Twitter . The critic criticized the flag, writing, “This is a stupid waste of time. You’ve lost my vote.” Mayor Jim Watson sprays the crowd with a water gun at the 2013 Pride parade in Ottawa . The mayor responded to this, “If you have that point of view, I really don’t want your vote.” The comment has a national pro-family leader up in arms. In an interview, Brian Rushfeldt, executive director of Canada Family Action, said,   “For a mayor to say I don’t want your vote because you disagree with me on an issue – that to me shows the bigotry and the intolerance that is coming from the pro-homosexual community extensively in this day and age.” “Th

Vancouver taxpayers foot $100k+ bill to send immoral homosexual gay city councillor to lobby IOC in Sochi?

VANCOUVER, British Columbia, January 30, 2014 ( LifeSiteNews.com ) – A number of Vancouver taxpayers are furious that they are being forced to foot the bill for a homosexual activist who is a city councillor to travel to Sochi not for the Olympics, but to lobby the International Olympic Committee (IOC) to include sexual orientation in its charter. “We’re not there for the Olympics,” Councillor and Deputy Mayor Tim Stevenson  told  the  Globe and Mail  on Tuesday, a day after his departure. “In fact, the Olympic Games open on the 7th and we come back on the 9th. I want the IOC to have a constitutional change in their charter so that sexual orientation is included in their charter.” Vancouver Deputy Mayor Tim Stevenson is in Sochi lobbying the IOC to include "sexual orientation" in its charter. Stevenson, an ordained minister in the pro-homosexual United Church of Canada (UCC) who is married to UCC gay minister Gary Paterson, will meet with representatives of the IOC,

KRASNAYA POLYANA , Russia , January 20, 2014 ( LifeSiteNews.com ) - Russian President Vladimir Putin said on Friday that homosexual people are welcome to attend the Sochi Olympics and can "feel safe and free" in Russia during the winter games, but warned them to “leave children in peace.” Homosexuality itself is not a crime in Russia, so gay people can “feel calm, at ease, but leave children in peace, please,” Putin said at a meeting with Olympic volunteers in the mountain village of Krasnaya Polyana, the base outside Sochi for Olympic snow sports, according to  RIA Novosti . "We don't outlaw anything and don't nab anyone. Our law prescribes no responsibility for these kinds of relationships unlike laws in some other countries do,” he said. But he did emphasize that the law bans homosexual propaganda targeting minors. Putin signed that bill into law last June, forbidding the promotion of homosexuality and other forms of “nontraditional sexual

TORONTO, September 3, 2013 ( LifeSiteNews.com ) - The idea of a boycott of the 2014 Olympic games in Russia in protest over laws that ban propaganda promoting the homosexual lifestyle. In a new poll of Canadians by  Forum Research , the majority (58%) disagree that Canada should boycott the 2014 Sochi Olympics, while less that one third agree with such an action (32%). One tenth (10%) had no opinion on the issue.  However, a slightly smaller majority (56%) also think Canadian athletes at Sochi should be allowed to show their support for homosexuality by wearing rainbow pins or carrying rainbow flags, an activity forbidden by the International Olympic Committee (IOC).  The  IOC's charter  specifically prohibits demonstrations or political propaganda in any Olympic sites, venues or other areas. (Bylaw to Rule 50.)  "Any violation of the provisions of the present clause may result in disqualification or withdrawal of the accreditation of the person concerned. T
