Pro Gay Government Funded group complain about their posters being rejected by Queensland public

Image
A safe sex campaign featuring a gay couple holding a condom has sparked opposition in Queensland . In response to overwhelming complaints , advertising company Adshel removed the offending posters from bus shelters around Brisbane .  But the Queensland Association of Healthy Communities , (a pro-gay Government funded lobby group) responsible for the advertisement , is squealing: homophobia. This is the standard appraoch by these groups when challenged, if you disagree you are labelled homophobic. This mission statement of this organization is also to push the gay agenda ....fully government funded.  Spokesman Paul Martin says the complaints are about the condom advertisements at bus shelters. He says the complaint sent to the Advertising Standards Bureau reads:  "To promote this lifestyle to our youth is not in the interests of healthy communities - the only place this message should be seen would be to practising homosexuals, not to impressionable youth in our g...

Illinois Catholic Charities forced out of adoptions over homosexual ‘rights’

Image
Image via Wikipedia The Catholic Diocese of Rockford , IL announced the closing of their adoption agencies last week, forced out of service due to new legislation that would oblige them to service homosexual couples. Catholic Charities of Illinois has been in business for more than 100 years, providing adoption and foster-care homes to hundreds of children.  Currently, the Diocese handles approximately 350 foster family and adoption cases in 11 counties in northern Illinois with a state budget of $7.5 million and 58 workers who will now no longer have jobs. The Diocese announced that the agency is being forced to opt out of contracting with the State of Illinois for these services because of the Illinois legislature’s failure to enact an explicit amendment to the new Illinois Religious Freedom Protection and Civil Unions Act.  The amendment failed despite the efforts of Catholic Charities directors and the lobbying efforts of the Catholic Conference of Illinois. The a...

Britain finds cross-party support for decriminalizing saying ‘homosexuality is sinful’

Image
When Dale Mcalpine was arrested and charged for saying that homosexual activity is sinful in April last year, the charges  were eventually dropped , but the Christian street preacher called for changes to the law that would make it possible to express religious opinion out loud in Britain without fear of arrest and prosecution. Now there is a cross-party support for a change in the law that would remove a single word from the Public Order Act 1986 that has allowed Christians to be arrested when they offend the sensibilities of homosexual activists. The amendment, that proposes to remove the word “insulting” from Section 5 of the Act, was tabled by Conservative MP Edward Leigh and is backed by the Liberal Democrat president, Tim Farron , and the Labour party’s Tom Watson, a former Government Minister . Six more MPs from across the parties have signed. As with many recently installed “hate speech” laws around the western world, the act of saying something that could be dee...

Following outcry, Brazilian president cancels homosexual indoctrination program in nation’s schools

Image
Image via Wikipedia Brazilian President Dilma Rousseff has agreed to eliminate a very explicit United Nations approved program designed to convince children and adolescents to accept homosexual behavior and transsexualism, following threats from Protestant and Catholic legislators to block new legislation in protest. The program, which was sponsored by by the Brazilian Ministry of Education and referred to as “Schools without Homophobia ,” included an “anti-homophobia kit,” with videos showing a cartoon of a child masturbating while fantasizing about sex with a man, adolescents who enter into homosexual relationships, and a “transsexual” student who calls himself “Bianca.” In the original video, the “Bianca” character reportedly becomes sexually aroused at the sight of another male student urinating in the bathroom, although this scene was apparently removed later, along with an another image showing two girls kissing on the lips.   The program also supplied students wi...

Confusing teens about their gender: the radical new French high school curriculum

Image
Image via Wikipedia As of next September, the new official French science curriculum will require all 11th grade students preparing the Baccalaureate – a majority of French teenagers – to study a number of themes more closely related to gender ideology and aggressive sex education than to nature studies. Two main headings, “Feminine- Masculine ” and “Taking charge of your sexual life together and responsibly,” make up about a third of the yearly curriculum for non-science students; they are also included in a wider program for science candidates. The program shamelessly promotes contraception, justifies abortion and defends homosexual activity . It also minimizes differences between men and women: “Anatomic and physiological differences, caused by the influence of sexual hormones, between the masculine and the feminine brain are no more important than differences between individuals of the same sex,” is one of the “concepts” 11th graders will be expected to have understood by the ti...

Toronto set to fund Toronto Pride to tune of several hundred thousand dollars

Image
Image via Wikipedia The City of Toronto appears set to fund Toronto Pride with hundreds of thousands of dollars again this year after months of threats from city councilors and Mayor Rob Ford to pull funding . Toronto Pride is seeking a $128,000 cultural grant from the city, in addition to about $250,000 of in-kind services such as police and garbage removal.  Though billed as “family-friendly,” the annual event has often been labeled a “sex parade,” as it regularly features people walking down the streets semi-nude or completely naked, and homosexuals engaging in public sex acts. The funding controversy was not focused on the offensive nature of the Pride event itself, however, despite Mayor Ford’s professed belief in true marriage.  Instead, it centered around the involvement of the group ‘Queers Against Israeli Apartheid’ ( QuAIA ), which has been a major source of division within the Toronto homosexual community due to its controversial political aims. After last y...

Obama Administration openly promotes

Image
Image via Wikipedia The Obama administration has condemned a traditional marriage amendment proposal in Minnesota in a statement issued Tuesday. The amendment, passed by the state legislature on Saturday in a 70-62 vote, would allow Minnesotans the opportunity to vote during the 2012 election to enshrine traditional marriage in the state constitution. When the gay news source Washington Blade asked for comment on the amendment, White House spokesman Shin Inouye issued a statement. It read: “The President has long opposed divisive and discriminatory efforts to deny rights and benefits to same sex couples or to take such rights away. While he believes this is an issue best addressed by the states, he also believes that committed gay couples should have the same rights and responsibilities afforded to any married couple in this country.” Obama’s disapproval of the amendment was matched by Minnesota Gov. Mark Dayton , who symbolically “vetoed” the marriage amendment Wednesday. D...

Military chaplain agencies demand conscience protections as ‘don’t ask’ repeal looms

Image
Image via Wikipedia Twenty-one religious agencies that provide chaplains to the U.S. military sent  a joint letter  to the military’s chiefs of chaplains Monday voicing strong concern over the need for religious liberty protections if the military lifts its “don’t ask don’t tell” policy that forbids open homosexuality in the military. The  letter  asks the chiefs for their help in urging Congress and the Department of Defense to adopt such protections. Alliance Defence Fund ( ADF ) attorneys helped draft proposed religious liberty protections for the Pentagon’s working group on the matter, but the law designed to dismantle the “don’t ask, don’t tell” ( DADT ) policy still lacks any such protections.   “ Service members should not be denied the very constitutional liberties they volunteered to defend,” said ADF Legal Counsel Daniel Blomberg. “If this government truly cares about protecting religious liberties as it says it does, why has it been afraid...
