Image
In a move that has outraged many parents, last Wednesday the Toronto District School Board voted 16-6 against asking the City of Toronto to uphold Canadian nudity laws at the World Pride parade on June 29. Every year the parade includes marchers in various objectionable sexualized  garb , such as sadomasochistic clothing, as well as topless women, and even full frontal nudity.

TDSB trustee Sam Sotiropoulos had presented a motion asking the Board to  write  an official letter to the mayor and Toronto City Council to ask “whether or not the public nudity law of Canada will be upheld and enforced at future Pride events in which the TDSB participates.” His motion was decisively defeated by the school board , which did not debate the matter, but rather forced a snap vote on it. The motion’s failure was met with cheers from gathered parade supporters. Instead, a  motion  of support for...

‘In-your-face sexuality is the point of the damn thing’: Toronto columnist on nudity at Pride

Image
TORONTO, March 11, 2014  – The thin veneer of Toronto ’s annual homosexual parade, ostensibly promoted as "family friendly," has been further chipped away by a mainstream media columnist who insists that “in-your-face sexuality is the point of the damn thing." "Ultimately, there are worse things than seeing a penis flopping down Yonge Street ,"  Canada.com News Editor Lauren Strapagiel wrote in an  article  attacking the Toronto District School Board (TDSB) trustees who  raised questions  about the legality of public nudity at the pride parade. The Toronto District School Board's float at the annual Pride parade . Strapagiel called the trustees' concern "a fuss over what is essentially a red herring" and a "profound display of ignorance." The homosexual festival "as a whole does not make 'family friendly' claims," she argued, and so "the fuss about nudity is a manufactured controversy." She q...

Toronto school trustees threaten to back out of Pride unless city enforces nudity laws

Image
TORONTO, March 5, 2014  – A group of Toronto school trustees are seeking assurance from the city that laws against public nudity will be enforced at this year's gay pride parade . The Toronto District School Board is known for its promotion of homosexual activism in the schools and puts a float in the parade every year. Trustees Sam Sotiropoulos, Irene Atkinson and John Hastings put forward a motion requesting that the school board agree to ask Mayor Rob Ford and city councillors to clarify its position on upholding the law. The Toronto District School Board organizes a float at Toronto Pride every year. The trustees’ initiative has won praise from a pro-family who is urging ratepayers to support the motion. ( Contact TDSB trustees  here .) Sotiropoulos told the  Toronto Star  that the board supports the event because it is touted as being "family friendly," but he objects to the lack of police enforcement of a law that is in place to protect the publ...

Toronto school trustee called ‘homophobic’ for questioning nudity at ‘family friendly’ Pride parade

Image
TORONTO, February 17, 2014 – Homosexual activists have  slammed him  as a ‘homophobic a**hole’ and an ‘outrageous bigot,’ but Toronto District School Board trustee Sam Sotiropoulos says that he’s just concerned about children viewing illegal public nudity at the city’s annual Pride parade. Sotiropoulos created a  firestorm on Twitter  last week after he tweeted the Toronto Police force asking if it would enforce Canadian law against public nudity. “As #TDSB participation raises questions of age-appropriateness, do you enforce Canada 's public nudity laws at Pride?” he asked. Sotiropoulos, who says he has nothing against “ LGBTQ ” people and says he would attend the Pride parade if invited, was immediately accused on twitter of insulting and hating gays and was labeled “homophobic.” “Interesting to remark how readily those who don't want to be labelled cast labels and slander at others,” Sotiropoulos responded . “To think, these are t...

Vancouver police, officials would not uphold laws against public nudity at Homosexual Pride Parade

When homosexual news service Daily Xtra reported  last week that both Vancouver police and city officials “confirmed they had no issues with public nudity ” at the city’s annual gay Pride Parade , LifeSiteNews.com (LSN) deemed necessary a fact check with the guardians of law and order. Canada ’s Criminal Code makes it illegal to be nude in a “ public place .” Section 174 states that a person who is “so clad as to offend against public decency or order” is “guilty of an offence punishable on summary conviction.” While reports about this year’s August 4 gay parade mention only “scantily-clad revellers” and “skimpy attire,” last year’s parade was attended by a group of men called Foreskin  who exposed their genitals in the city streets  (WARNING: link includes graphic full-frontal male nudity). At last year's parade a group of men called Foreskin exposed their genitals in the city streets. LifeSiteNews asked the Vancouver Police Department (VPD) by email if...

Folsom Street Fair, San Francisco (Photo credit: Wikipedia ) SAN FRANCISCO , November 19, 2012, ( LifeSiteNews.com ) - The pendulum of the sexual revolution may be swinging slightly back toward sanity in San Francisco, as the city is set to vote on a new law that may bar public nudity – except at the city’s gay pride march and other events cover ed by permit. Supervisor Scott Wiener . The ordinance, introduced by Supervisor Scott Wiener who oversees the city’s homosexual Castro District , would make it illegal for any adult and most children to “expose his or her genitals, perineum, or anal region” in public. The behavior of some naturists at the district’s public plaza pushed Wiener over the edge. “There’s always been occasional public nudity in San Francisco. Over the last two years it’s gone from being this quirky, occasional thing to an obnoxious, over-the-top thing,” Wiener  said . “A lot of people who live in the neighborhood are just sick of the fact t...
