Australian Politicians hate Christians - love LGBT

‘Haters’, ‘rabid right’, ‘vicious', and 'rump’: names your senators called you yesterday

There was a good deal of name-calling yesterday in Parliament – all directed at anyone who supports the government’s election promise to hold a people’s vote on marriage. Senator Anne Urquhart referred to the ‘rabid right’ and the ‘vicious anti-marriage equality lobby’. Senator Susan Lines said Australia was being held hostage by ‘a Rump’ of right-wing conservatives. Senator Sarah Hanson-Young spoke of ‘ideologs and haters’.
Complaining of the ‘many, many, deeply, deeply offensive emails’ she received from constituents opposed to same sex marriage, Lines explained that she refuses to answer such emails – and unfortunately for anyone who would wish to investigate this further - they get deleted. Lines argued that a respectful public debate is impossible because it gives a strong voice to those who oppose same-sex marriage and would therefore be ‘divisive’. It seems that Lines may think that disagreement and offensive behavior are the same thing.
Senator Chris Back, speaking in support of a plebiscite, argued that the examples of offensive behavior he could point to all went the other way, and passed well beyond offensive emails. He referred to:
  • The violent attack on Senator Bernardi’s offices by activists (who threatened Bernardi’s staff, vandalized his offices and targeted his children’s school, which had to close its gates against the protestors).
  • The ‘feral social media posts, and threatened violence’ directed at the Mecure Sydney Airport Hotel for hosting a meeting of those campaigning to preserve marriage, which included ACL staff. Again, children were targeted as LGBTI activists asked the staff of the Mecure Hotel “are your children safe at the Mecure?”
  • The case of Tasmanian Archbishop Porteous who was dragged before an anti-discrimination tribunal for instructing the Catholic community about the church’s teaching on marriage.
Back concluded his point saying “if there is intolerance and hate speech, it hasn’t come from people who would support marriage as it is currently defined.”

A Catholic school board in Ontario will vote next week on a motion to fly the rainbow-colored homosexual pride flag at all board-run schools during the month of June. Halton Catholic District School Board (HCDSB) Trustee Brenda Agnew gave notice of her motion titled “supporting our diverse school community” during an April 6 board meeting. Quoting Pope Francis along with LGBT talking points about “equity and inclusion,” the motion calls for the Board’s Director of Education Pat Daly to “direct all HCDSB schools including the Catholic Education Centre to fly the Pride flag during the month of June starting with 2021.” The motion is expected to be voted on by the Board at their next meeting on April 20. With nine trustees, the motion requires five votes to pass. A tied vote results in a fail. The HCDSB states on its website that its mission is to provide “excellence in Catholic education by developing Christ-centred individuals enabled to transform society.” The Catholic Church, basing i...

DENVER, CO ,  – A Colorado board has ruled that a Christian business owner must make wedding cakes for homosexual "marriages" despite his religious objections. Business owner Jack Phillips came under legal fire in 2012, when he refused to bake a cake for Dave Mullins and Charlie Craig , who had traveled to Massachusetts for a marriage license, and wanted to celebrate in their home state. They sued on the basis of a state law that prevents the application of religious beliefs if one owns a business. The Commission's ruling, which was issued verbally on Friday, orders Phillips to report every three months for the next two years on anti-discrimination training for his staff, and any customers who are refused service at his establishment. "I can believe anything I want, but if I'm going to do business here, I'd ought to not discriminate against people," said one of the Civil Rights Commission 's seven members in a public statement.

Australia: Gay Hate tribunals are coming

Are Hate Tribunals Are Coming In Canada , it is considered discriminatory to say that marriage is between a man and a woman or that every child should know and be raised by his or her biological married parents.  It is not just politically incorrect in Canada to say so; you can be saddled with tens of thousands of dollars in legal fees, fined, and forced to take sensitivity training. Anyone who is offended by something you have said or written can make a complaint to the Human Rights Commissions and Tribunals. In Canada, these organizations police speech, penalizing citizens for any expression deemed in opposition to particular sexual behaviors or protected groups identified under “sexual orientation.” It takes only one complaint against a person to be brought before the tribunal, costing the defendant tens of thousands of dollars in legal fees. The commissions have the power to enter private residences and remove all items pertinent to their investigations, checkin...
