Why is the military marching in a nudity gay march?

-

The Australian Christian Lobby has called on Defence Minister Marise Payne to protect the nation’s armed forces from being co-opted into political causes, after uniformed personnel again marched in Saturday’s Mardi Gras in Sydney.
ACL managing director, Lyle Shelton, said the defence forces had a proud tradition of not participating in political activities while in uniform and Mardi Gras, which operated this year under the theme of ‘Creating Equality’, was clearly political activism which sought to put pressure on the Australian Government to redefine marriage.
“Marching in uniform under the rainbow political flag and adding non-regulation rainbow colours to the army’s sacred Rising Sun Badge worn by our soldiers for more than 100 years, is incredibly disrespectful to the concerns of millions of Australians worried about the threats to their freedom if marriage is redefined,” Mr Shelton said.
“It would appear that our army is being co-opted to take part in a political campaign to redefine marriage. Mardi Gras is about the most politically charged march in Australia with its open ridicule of parliamentarians who do not support the political aims of the organisers.
“The rainbow flag has become the political symbol for redefining marriage, the standard for Safe Schools which teaches children their gender is fluid, and the flag of the movement that wants to use so-called hate speech laws to fine Australians who disagree with redefining marriage.”  
Mr Shelton said it was concerning that defence force chiefs were making political decisions about which cause they should support.
“If the army can take part in one political event, why can’t they take part in other political events?
“Are some political causes more equal than others?
“Many Australians would love to see military personnel marching in uniform in pro-life marches but it seems this is not permissible.
“There appears to be a double standard,” Mr Shelton said.
The ACL today launched a petition which calls on Minister Payne to ensure that the military is above politics.  It has already attracted more than 5000 signatories.

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...
