Parents boo as Christian street preacher confronts drag queen at story time

Image
The Drag Queen Story Time’s question-and-answer session didn’t go as planned. After this event at Westcliffe Community Centre in Ottawa on Saturday afternoon, Evangelical street preacher Dorre Love responded to an invitation for questions. “I have a question,” Love said. “What are you going to do when you stand before God and He judges every one of you here for your sins?”    A video published on Facebook shows the surprised, unhappy faces of a few parents and Russian-Canadian drag performer “Adrianna Exposée,” 20, as well as a small number of children. Moments before, parents and children had been dancing with the scantily-clad Adrianna or watching from their seats.  “What are you going to do?” a woman snapped back to Love.  “The Bible says this,” Love continued, “but if anyone causes one of my little ones who believe in me to stumble, it would be better for them to have a large millstone be hung around their neck and they be drowned in the depths...

Ottawa city hall bans pro-life and ‘religious’ flags, allows LGBT flag

Image
After angry backlash when a pro-life flag was raised for the first time at Ottawa ’s city hall during the March for Life in May, Canada ’s capital is changing its flag-raising policy. The new protocol bans any raising of flags at city hall from organizations whose “undertakings or philosophy” are “politically or religiously motivated or represent other individual conviction.” The consequence is that flags of any pro-life association from flying will be banished from a municipal flagpoles, says Johanne Brownrigg, Ottawa lobbyist with Campaign Life Coalition . “This has been cleverly written to appear to be a serious and practical guidelines. It actually has the effect of writing us out,” she told LifeSiteNews. The flag proclaiming “National March for Life Ottawa” was raised May 11 at the request of Francis Barrett . The 89-year-old father, grandfather, and former police officer told LifeSiteNews at the time he worked with city staff to arrange the event. But after Lif...

Ottawa federal employee and homosexual partner imprisoned for child porn

Image
OTTAWA, March 27, 2014 ( LifeSiteNews.com ) – The actions of a mom defending her son have resulted in two Ottawa men, whom  Sun News  labeled as "perverts," being sentenced to jail for making and possessing child porn . In court on March 24, federal public servant Scott Dignan, 47, admitted to placing a tiny key fob video camera in the bathroom of the home he shared with his homosexual partner Eric Charron in order to record a 13-year-old boy using the toilet, during a party in the house on January 25, 2013 attended by the boy and his mom. The astute young teenager realized the key fob on the toilet was a camera and alerted his mom, who grabbed the camera and confronted Dignan. When the mom and her son tried to leave the house with the camera, Charron blocked their way. The mom then called 911 and handed the camera to police when they arrived. Police examination of the recording on the camera revealed a video of Dignan setting up the camera, the boy going to t...

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

Image
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 t...

Image
OTTAWA, February 11, 2014  – The mayor of Ottawa has defended the city as it joins other Canadian municipalities in raising a rainbow flag at city hall during the Olympics in Sochi to protest Russia ’s ban on homosexual propaganda. Mayor Jim Watson is facing criticism because of an exchange with one of his critics on Twitter . The critic criticized the flag, writing, “This is a stupid waste of time. You’ve lost my vote.” Mayor Jim Watson sprays the crowd with a water gun at the 2013 Pride parade in Ottawa . The mayor responded to this, “If you have that point of view, I really don’t want your vote.” The comment has a national pro-family leader up in arms. In an interview, Brian Rushfeldt, executive director of Canada Family Action, said,   “For a mayor to say I don’t want your vote because you disagree with me on an issue – that to me shows the bigotry and the intolerance that is coming from the pro-homosexual community extensively in this day and age....

Canada's transgender confusion

Image
OTTAWA, Ontario , June 12, 2013 ( LifeSiteNews.com ) - Bill C-279, the Canadian transgender bill, sailed through the Senate Committee on Human Rights on Monday, despite  testimony  during the meeting from the Canadian Human Rights Tribunal that transgendered people are already protected on the grounds of “sex and disability”. Joanne Brownrigg, a lobbyist for Campaign Life Coalition who attended the meeting, told LifeSiteNews.com that in the committee’s “unbridled enthusiasm to pass the bill and appear like heroes they were required to suspend all reason and rationality.”  NDP LGBTT Critic Randall Garrison , who introduced the bill “So little of what was said rested on legal arguments and the actual good that this law would do,” she said.  A number of groups supporting the bill, including the Canadian Bar Association (CBA) , argued to the committee that the bill would “make a very clear statement about the invisibility of transgender people”.  N...

Stats Canada bungles same-sex ‘marriage’ census numbers: includes roommates as gay couples

Image
OTTAWA, Ontario , September 19, 2012 ( LifeSiteNews.com ) – Statistics Canada  has admitted  that “there may be an overestimation” in the number of same-sex ‘married’ couples from the 2011 census, after the government agency mistakenly counted some same gender roommates as gay couples. Stats Canada warned that the census data should be “used with caution.” While same-sex couples — both ‘married’ and common law — accounted for merely 0.8% of all couples in 2011, the numbers showed same-sex ‘married’ couples nearly tripled: that is, until analyzers realized that many of the “couples” polled may have been migrant workers who were splitting rent with other migrant workers of the same gender and who both happened to be married, but not to each other. Statistics Canada noted today that it may have overestimated the number of same-sex ‘married’ couples by 4,500. “We observed that there was a possible over estimation of same-sex families,”  said  census ma...

Swedish high school student fails bio class for saying homosexuality ‘abnormal’

Image
English: Sweden. Stockholm County. Nynäshamn (Photo credit: Wikipedia ) LONDON , July 27, 2012  — A Swedish high-school student recently failed a biology class for saying that homosexuality is abnormal, according to Swedish national news-site , svt.se. The site  reports  that a grade 8 student at Nynäshamn Highschool in Stockholm County , Sweden , expressed the opinion that homosexuality was “onormalt” — literally “abnormal” — and, as a result, received a failing grade. When the student questioned the grade, the teacher reportedly replied that it was because of the student’s opinions. The goal of the school’s curriculum, the teacher said, was that students show respect for different sexual orientations , and the student’s views did not correspond with that goal. Any expert in biology would clearly understand the design and function of biological sexual organs, that match and perform a biological function. For the penis to be inserted in the male anus (the o...
