GAY TRUTH

In a bid to become Canada ’s most LGBTQ-influenced school system, Manitoba ’s NDP Ministry of Education has announced development of a new “provincial code of conduct” — added on top of its proposed anti-bullying legislation — that critics say will effectively silence any student voice dissenting from the gay agenda. "What this means for gay students is when they are bullied, there will be very clear consequences," Manitoba Education Minister Nancy Allan told Xtra. "Everybody in the school will know what the consequences are.” “Bullying of any student for any reason is categorically wrong,” said Jack Fonseca, spokesman for Campaign Life Coalition , to LifeSiteNews.com. “If this code was sincerely about anti-bullying, we’d applaud it. However, the code’s singular preoccupation with homosexuality broadcasts its true intent, which is to provide a weapon with which gay-activists can smear and silence bible-believing students, teachers, and parents.” Fonseca said that only...

MANITOBA, March 20, 2013 ( LifeSiteNews.com ) – A growing number of Manitoba politicians and religious leaders have added their voice to the escalating clamor against the NDP’s proposed Bill 18, saying that it would force faith-based schools to hand over their cherished freedoms to agenda-driven government bureaucrats. Winnipeg Conservative MP Rod Bruinooge (Winnipeg South) came out in opposition to the bill last week after drawing attention to a number of letters written to NDP Premier Greg Selinger by concerned religious groups from around the province.  Member of Parliament Rod Bruinooge "I think they have valid concerns and I support them," said Bruinooge to reporters.  Rabbi Avrohom Altein, director of Winnipeg’s Jewish Learning Centre,  wrote to Selinger  that the bill’s requirement that gay-straight alliances be accommodated in every school “is based on a mistaken premise that will only serve to undermine the very principles of equality that it...

Toews also serves as the federal Minister of Public Safety . Vic Toews "Recently there has been a significant amount of discussion surrounding Provincial Bill 18 and its implications for education and religious freedom," Toews said in a statement sent to LifeSiteNews.  "While this is exclusively a provincial matter and therefore I cannot take any legislative or other official action in respect to provincial legislation, I certainly do not support Bill 18."  Toews is the federal representative for the city of Steinbach, where more than 1,200 people gathered at Steinbach Christian High School recently to express their c...

WINNIPEG , March 1, 2013, ( LifeSiteNews.com ) - Controversy is escalating over the Manitoba NDP government's proposed anti- bullying law, which would force schools - including independent religious schools - to accommodate homosexual student clubs under the name gay-straight alliance ( GSA ). The  Public Schools Amendment Act (Safe and Inclusive Schools)  stipulates that schools "must accommodate pupils who want to establish and lead activities and organizations that use the name 'gay-straight alliance' or any other name that is consistent with the promotion of a positive school environment that is inclusive and accepting of all pupils." Independent religious schools in the province contend that Bill 18 is a violation of their religious freedom, while the NDP education minister said the personal rights of students take precedence over religious freedom. Manitoba religious private schools, including Jewish, Sikh, Islamic, as well as Catholic and ot...
