Hundreds of thousands rally in Rome against gay ‘civil unions’ and adoption as vote nears

Image
As the Italian Parliament prepares to vote on “civil unions” for homosexuals , a crowd of hundreds of thousands of people rallied in Rome’s Circus Maximus and adjacent streets on January 30 to protest in favor of the family and the rights of children. The gargantuan protest, dubbed “Family Day,” was organized by the Committee to Defend Our Children , and aimed to thwart an attempt by the ruling Democratic Party and its allies to grant legal recognition to homosexual unions and to allow homosexuals to adopt their “stepchildren” – that is, the children of their sex partners. The protestors expressed their concern that such a measure would enable homosexuals to contract with egg donors and surrogates to “synthesize” children who will never know their mothers and who lack any right to a natural family. “The uterus is not a furnace in which a manufactured product is made!” said Massimo Gandolfini, the main spokesman for the march, to the assembled crowd. Calling the proposed...

Boston doctor loses final appeal after he was fired for opposing hospital’s LGBT agenda

Image
The cave-in at the major Boston Harvard -affiliated hospital is complete. The   Board of Directors   of Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center (BIDMC) has formally notified Dr. Paul Church that they are upholding his expulsion from the hospital and that his medical privileges there are terminated. His crime?   As MassResistance has reported,   Dr. Church, a urologist who is also on the Harvard Medical School faculty, voiced concerns to his colleagues about the hospital's aggressive promotion of LGBT activities. He pointed out the long list of serious medical risks -- and also moral issues -- associated with those behaviors. The hospital never disputed the truth of Dr. Church's statements. Nor did they claim that he ever discussed this with patients or treated them differently. Instead, the hospital took extraordinary steps first to silence him and then to expel him on a ludicrous charge of making "offensive" remarks. Over months of hearings and appeals, t...

Christian bus driver fired after refusing to drive Calgary ‘Gay Pride bus’

Image
A Calgary bus driver who is a faithful Christian and married father of two children has been fired from his job after stating publicly last week that he would refuse to drive a city bus decked out by his employer to promote the city’s Gay ‘Pride’ festival. “They called me in and read me a statement saying that I would no longer be working for them,” Jesse Rau, former Calgary Transit Authority employee, told LifeSiteNews in an exclusive interview. Two weeks ago Calgary Transit unveiled a “Pride Bus” it had specially decorated with a rainbow paint job to promote the city’s Calgary Pride Festival. A large banner on the side of the bus states: “Ride with Pride” and provides the dates for the celebration of homosexuality, something that Christians believe is a deviation from God ’s plan for human sexuality. Rau came out publicly last week saying that he would refuse to drive the bus if it were put on his route since he wanted no part in promoting what he said was a “very rad...

WorldPride 2014: Toronto taxpayers to double funding for ‘state-backed celebration of immoral homosexual nude parade

Image
TORONTO, December 5, 2013 ( LifeSiteNews.com ) – Toronto Council may double its funding — to the tune of $280,000 at taxpayer’s expense — to Pride Toronto , organizer of the 2014 WorldPride event. Councillor Shelley Carroll   told   homosexual news service  Xtra  that the funding boost is included in the upcoming January budget under the city’s Major Cultural Organizations program. During budget committee meetings at the beginning of the month, no one disputed doling out more tax-generated funds for the WorldPride event, reported  Xtra . “If this budget is adopted, [the funding] is adopted, too,” said Carroll. The funds will be on top of the $250,000 of public services - such as policing, garbage pick-up, and street cleaning - the event promoting the normalization-of-homosexuality receives each year. Pride Toronto executive director Kevin Beaulieu estimates the WorldPride budget around $4.5 million. According to Councillor Kristyn Wong-Tam , t...

Boston archdiocese says rescheduled Mass is not celebrating gay pride

Image
Image via Wikipedia The Archdiocese of Boston has strongly denied that a rescheduled Mass initiated by the Rainbow Ministry of St. Cecilia’s Catholic Church will celebrate gay pride and said that Cardinal Seán O’Malley’s handling of the situation has been unfairly maligned. “I can tell you unequivocally: this Mass is not a celebration of gay pride week , month,” a spokesman for the diocese told LifeSiteNews.com Thursday, echoing a statement issued by Cardinal O’Malley yesterday. In that statement O’Malley had said that the “philosophical and political agenda of Gay Pride in relation to marriage and sexual morality is incompatible with the Church’s teachings. For that reason, [St. Cecilia pastor Rev. John] Unni rescheduled a Mass of welcome for all his parishioners to a time that would not associate the Mass with the Gay Pride agenda.” O’Malley said, “Catholics who have same sex attractions are often criticized by their friends for coming to Mass,” and that those close to such...
