Crazy gender revolution’s latest move: ‘all-gender cabins’ on school trips

Image
In the name of “dismantl[ing] systemic transphobia ” a Toronto public school teacher has announced he is now using all-gender cabins for students on school camping trips, stating explicitly that the school did not obtain parental permission for the move.  Stating that the province’s new 2012 transgender law (Bill 33) made “schools legally responsible for eliminating barriers to inclusion based on gender identity and gender expression,” the teacher stated that parents simply had to accept the new “cultural mind shift.” “Here, adults had to grapple with a new legal reality; this meeting was not a request for permission but rather an opportunity to give input into how to make all-gender cabins a reality,” wrote David Stocker, a member of the Elementary Teachers of Toronto, in the   Spring edition   of ETFO Voice.  Students, led by the transgender activist teacher, voted that “wearing underwear around the cabin was acceptable” for both boys and girls and those who identify

The children of homosexual parents - LGBT want to hide these stories

As you know I am now an Official Bonafide Jet-setter and as such I was in DC (people who move and shake drop the Washington part and now that I am so worldly, well, you know) last weekend for a panel discussion hosted by Alliance Defending Freedom called “What about the children?” They invited me to speak alongside marriage law expert Caleb Dalton and Dr. Paul Sullins who happens to be The Go -To Man on the impact of same-sex parenting . He is responsible for studies that capture data representative of more than all of the oppositions studies represent combined. So basically, with a legal expert and social scientist at my side I just got to show up and blather. Here’s a few blather-inspired video clips: Is “love makes a family” really a fair thing to say to kids?

Bishop stands by priest who removed ‘married’ homosexual couple from parish ministry

Image
A Montana bishop is standing by one of his priests after the priest told a homosexual couple in his parish that they cannot receive Communion or participate in Church ministry due to the fact that they have contracted a civil “marriage.” 'This is not animus against someone who happens to be a homosexual; this issue is the same-sex marriage,' said Bishop Warfel. Paul Huff , 66, and Tom Wojtowick, 73, have reportedly been together for more than 30 years and were “married” in Seattle in May 2013, according  to the Associated Press. The men  told the local ABC-FOX affiliate  that Father Samuel Spiering approached them shortly after beginning his assignment as administrator of St. Leo the Great and asked if the rumor he’d heard of them being “married” was true. When they affirmed it was, he asked if he could meet with them the following day. Father Spiering informed them the next day that they have broken Cannon Law, and that they would not be able to receive communi

Judge refuses to toss suit against Catholic school that fired teacher for ‘marrying’ gay partner

SEATTLE, WA , May 29, 2014  – A Washington judge last week denied a request by Eastside Catholic School and the Archdiocese of Seattle to dismiss a  discrimination lawsuit  filed by the school’s former vice principal, who was forced to resign in December for “ marrying ” his homosexual lover. Mark Zmuda sued Eastside Catholic in March, claiming the school violated its own discrimination policy in asking him to leave his job.  But the school has repeatedly pointed to the morality clause Zmuda and all diocesan employees have signed, agreeing to publicly uphold the teachings of the Catholic faith , which expressly forbid same-sex “marriage.” School and archdiocesan attorneys asked King County Superior Court Judge Catherine Shaffer to toss out the suit, arguing that the court had no jurisdiction to rule on the case without violating the school’s first amendment right to freedom of religion.   But in a decision issued Friday, Shaffer disagreed, writing, “The Federal and Supr

Pro-family leaders: We forgive World Vision, but it’s time to ‘clean house’

Image
SEATTLE, WA , March 27, 2014 ( LifeSiteNews.com ) – While influential Christian groups are praising World Vision for  reversing  its recent  policy change  validating same-sex “marriages,” some pro-family leaders are insisting that while they will forgive the organization, it must "clean house" if it hopes to rebuild trust among its supporters. "World Vision has asked for [forgiveness], so I believe that we need to extend it," Bryan Fischer , director of issue analysis for the American Family Association,  said  on AFA Radio Thursday. But, he added, "There is a difference between forgiveness and trust. … Trust, once it is shattered, … it takes a long time to rebuild. … It cannot be rebuilt with a letter of apology." Life Training Institute President Scott Klusendorf likewise thanked World Vision for the reversal, but  called  for the resignation of “the President and every board member who voted for the initial policy change.” While “we should

Boy Scouts of America ban troop leader who came out as homosexual on NBC News

SEATTLE, WA , April 2, 2014  – The Boy Scouts of America (BSA) have removed a Seattle-area troop leader and banned him from the organization for going public with his homosexuality, in what is thought to be the first such case since the BSA  voted  to allow openly homosexual youth, but not adults, to join. Scoutmaster Geoff McGrath, 49, a former Eagle Scout and leader of Troop 98 in Rainier Beach, had his BSA membership revoked Monday after an  NBC News  reporter  contacted  the organization seeking comment for a profile the network was doing on “the first openly gay Scoutmaster in the nation.”  It turned out McGrath’s superiors had been unaware he was homosexual, although he had previously been ejected from the Scouts at age 22 after coming out to his troop leaders, is “married” to another man, and has been a vocal critic of BSA policies regarding homosexuals.  His brother and nephew even participated in a bike ride from Seattle to BSA headquarters in Denton, TX to p

SEATTLE, WA , March 12, 2014 ( LifeSiteNews.com ) – The former vice principal of  Eastside Catholic High School  in Sammamish, Washington , is  suing the Archdiocese of Seattle and the school  for wrongful termination and discrimination after he was reportedly forced to resign as a result of his same-sex “marriage.” Mark Zmuda, who had been at the school for 18 months, “married” his boyfriend, Dana Jergens, in July 2013, following the  legalization of same-sex “marriage” in Washington State .  Mark Zmuda (L) with his same-sex "spouse" Representatives for the school have  filed a motion  to dismiss the case, stating that “[the] Plaintiff’s action should be dismissed because the Court does not have jurisdiction to adjudicate Plaintiff’s claims without violating the First Amendment .” “This is another example of people using the media to try and drum up public sentiments that the Catholic Church is anti-gay,” said John Mulvey, a policy analyst for the Catholic L
