School Board backs public nudity at Homosexual Pride parade

Image
In a move that has outraged many parents, last Wednesday the Toronto District School Board voted 16-6 against asking the City of Toronto to uphold Canadian nudity laws at the World Pride parade on June 29. Every year the parade includes marchers in various objectionable sexualized  garb , such as sadomasochistic clothing, as well as topless women, and even full frontal nudity.

TDSB trustee Sam Sotiropoulos had presented a motion asking the Board to  write  an official letter to the mayor and Toronto City Council to ask “whether or not the public nudity law of Canada will be upheld and enforced at future Pride events in which the TDSB participates.” His motion was decisively defeated by the school board , which did not debate the matter, but rather forced a snap vote on it. The motion’s failure was met with cheers from gathered parade supporters. Instead, a  motion  of support for the Parade was passed.

TORONTO, March 11, 2014  The Ontario English Catholic Teachers Association took another step in its promotion of the homosexual agenda Monday as it announced it would march in Toronto ’s WorldPride parade on June 29. The association, which represents the province’s 45,000 teachers and plays a large role in their professional and spiritual formation, passed a motion at its AGM this weekend to organize a delegation for the homosexual activist event. “Registering for, and marching in, the World Pride Parade is a visible symbol of solidarity with one of the most marginalized groups in the Catholic community,” reads a “rationale” attached to the motion, which required a simple majority to pass. Though it’s often billed as “family friendly,” Toronto Pride is known for its displays of full frontal nudity, simulated sex acts, sadomasochism, and sexual bondage. Jack Fonseca, a spokesman for Campaign Life Catholics, said the decision is an “all out rebellion against the Catholi

TORONTO, March 11, 2014  – The thin veneer of Toronto ’s annual homosexual parade, ostensibly promoted as "family friendly," has been further chipped away by a mainstream media columnist who insists that “in-your-face sexuality is the point of the damn thing." "Ultimately, there are worse things than seeing a penis flopping down Yonge Street ,"  Canada.com News Editor Lauren Strapagiel wrote in an  article  attacking the Toronto District School Board (TDSB) trustees who  raised questions  about the legality of public nudity at the pride parade. The Toronto District School Board's float at the annual Pride parade . Strapagiel called the trustees' concern "a fuss over what is essentially a red herring" and a "profound display of ignorance." The homosexual festival "as a whole does not make 'family friendly' claims," she argued, and so "the fuss about nudity is a manufactured controversy." She q

TORONTO, March 5, 2014  – A group of Toronto school trustees are seeking assurance from the city that laws against public nudity will be enforced at this year's gay pride parade . The Toronto District School Board is known for its promotion of homosexual activism in the schools and puts a float in the parade every year. Trustees Sam Sotiropoulos, Irene Atkinson and John Hastings put forward a motion requesting that the school board agree to ask Mayor Rob Ford and city councillors to clarify its position on upholding the law.

( Contact TDSB trustees  here .)

‘Let’s get naked this Pride’: Gay editor defends nudity at Toronto’s ‘family friendly’ parade

TORONTO, February 26, 2014  – An editor at Canada ’s leading homosexual news agency has defended nudity at Toronto ’s annual Pride parade, which is billed as a “family friendly” event. It’s just “queer people celebrating their sexuality,” wrote Danny Glenwright, managing editor at  Xtra , last week in a piece titled “ Let's get naked this Pride .” A drag queen at Ottawa's Capital Pride in 2013. Glenwright defended exposing the public to what he called “our wanton sexuality and hedonism” as par for the course of expanding gay rights. “It’s what we do with our naked bodies that kept us gays down for so long,” he wrote. Glenwright mockingly suggested that those who have a problem with nakedness at the parade can “stay home” with their children and watch on TV “more palatable aspects of our world” such as “priests raping children.” “I prefer to leave that all behind for a few hours on Pride and head downtown to celebrate gay rights and gay sex — and to protest th

TORONTO, February 17, 2014 – Homosexual activists have  slammed him  as a ‘homophobic a**hole’ and an ‘outrageous bigot,’ but Toronto District School Board trustee Sam Sotiropoulos says that he’s just concerned about children viewing illegal public nudity at the city’s annual Pride parade. Sotiropoulos created a  firestorm on Twitter  last week after he tweeted the Toronto Police force asking if it would enforce Canadian law against public nudity. “As #TDSB participation raises questions of age-appropriateness, do you enforce Canada 's public nudity laws at Pride?” he asked. Sotiropoulos, who says he has nothing against “ LGBTQ ” people and says he would attend the Pride parade if invited, was immediately accused on twitter of insulting and hating gays and was labeled “homophobic.” “Interesting to remark how readily those who don't want to be labelled cast labels and slander at others,” Sotiropoulos responded . “To think, these are the folks who are
