Australia says no to Homosexual marriage

Image
English: Kevin Rudd, 26th Prime Minister of Australia. (Photo credit: Wikipedia ) Opposition Leader Bill Shorten should have nothing to fear from the Australian people being allowed to have a say on changing the definition of marriage, according to the Australian Christian Lobby . ACL Managing Director Lyle Shelton said it was disappointing to see Mr Shorten impute improper motives to ACL for wishing to see the issue be decided by a vote of the people. Mr Shelton, who hosted Mr Shorten at the organisation's national conference last year, said that while disagreeing with him on marriage welcomed his call at the time for a respectful debate. "I believe we can continue to be respectful even though we are on different sides of this debate. "However, our preference for the Australian people to be given a say is of course motivated by our desire for there to be a fair and open public debate. People should not have to be afraid to speak because of fear of being labelled...

Is teaching Christian morals child abuse?

( MercatorNet ) -- Australia’s leading gay activist claims that a booklet defending natural marriage by the Australian Catholic Bishops Conference clearly breaches an anti-discrimination act. Worse, it exposes “vulnerable children” to “damaging messages”. Rodney Croome, national director of Australian Marriage Equality , is angry that Catholic schools in the state of Tasmania are distributing “ Don’t Mess with Marriage ”.

Some teachers were horrified at the prospect of Catholic schools distributing Catholic literature, says Mr Croome: The Catholic Church has every right to express its views from the pulpit but it is completely inappropriate to enlist young people as the couriers of its prejudice. The booklet says to gay students in Catholic schools that their sexuality is wrong and that their aspiration to marry is a danger to marriage, religion and societ...

The COC signed an agreement with You Can Play and Egale Canada in order to "foster LGBTQ inclusivity in national sport" by creating homosexuality-focused "resources" to be incorporated into the Canadian Olympic School Program (COSP), which will focus its efforts on students from grades six to eight. The initiative will also create a new "OneTeam Athlete Ambassador" program, which will promote visits to schools across the country by homosexuality-endorsing athletes. The program's goal is to "establish formal relationships with 25 school boards nationally and connect with 1 million students by the end of 2016." “What started as maybe a video, or a little help with ...

English: The spire of St. Joseph Church in Detroit Category:Images of Detroit, Michigan (Photo credit: Wikipedia ) Detroit ’s archbishop has banned a homosexual activist from making a presentation at a parish in his diocese, and the speaker, along with the church’s pastor, is using Pope Francis to object. Archbishop Allen Vigneron , who last year  weathered   criticism  for affirming that Catholics  who support homosexual marriage should not present themselves for Communion, put a stop to homosexual activist Francis DeBernardo’s planned presentation November 22 at Christ the King parish in northwest Detroit. DeBernardo, who heads up  New Ways Ministry , was going to speak for Fortunate Families, a group for Catholics whose children are in the homosexual lifestyle. Christ the King Pastor Father Victor Clore was notified the week prior to the event by an archdiocesan official that the parish could not host the meeting,  according  to the De...
