GAY TRUTH

Safe Schools founder Roz Ward is under mounting pressure to step down from running the anti-bullying program in Victoria after she was photographed harassing a bystander at a protest. The Victorian government ­appeared to withdraw its unwavering support for the LGBTI rights campaigner following the latest scandal, insisting the multi-million-dollar taxpayer-funded program was “bigger than any one person”. “People have a right to peacefully protest; however, violence is never acceptable,” a government spokeswoman said in a statement yesterday, after Education Minister James Merlino refused to be personally drawn on the incident. “We stand by our commitment to Safe Schools. It saves lives.” The spokeswoman, however, declined to comment on Ms Ward’s ongoing role managing the program, saying it was “a matter for La Trobe (university)”, which manages the program on behalf of the state. La Trobe briefly suspended the Marxist academic this year over a Facebook post decrying...

Former judge Richard Page is suing the National Health Service in England for refusing to consider him for a director’s job he held for four years because he said in court and in the news media that children do better with a father and a mother of different sexes. “Richard is being driven from the public service,” said Andrea Williams, head of the Christian Legal Centre , “simply for expressing the widely-held, lawful belief that children ideally need a mother and a father.” Page has also made no bones about being an evangelical Christian who believes homosexual activity is a sin. “This is another of a growing list of cases where Christians are being hammered out of public life simply for expressing their beliefs,” Williams added. It’s the second time Page has lost his job because of a “thought crime” against political correctness. Page, 69, worked full time for the NHS before he retired and became a paid member of the NHS Kent-Medway region’s board of directors, a j...

The leader of Bulgaria 's 4.3 million Orthodox Christians is strongly backing a definition of marriage as between one man and one woman. Pressure from more liberal countries in the European Union (EU) has prompted a " European Citizens' Initiative " dubbed the " Mum, Dad & Kids Initiative ." Bulgarian Orthodox Church Patriarch Neophyte sent a letter of support for the initiative that insists on an official common definition of both "marriage" and "family" for the EU. In Patriarch Neophyte's encyclical, he states that Christianity "is the guardian of traditional marriage," and that the Orthodox Church gives her blessing to the initiative. Pro-natural marriage conservatives across the continent are responding to “the increased undue   pressure   from Brussels in recent years to redefine marriage.”  In June 2015, European Commission Vice President Frans Timmermans directed the Commission to "try to...

An Ontario judge has ruled against a Hamilton father of two in a decision critics say strikes a major blow to parental rights . Steve Tourloukis took the Hamilton-Wentworth District School Board (HWDSB) to   court   after it refused to give him advance notice when his children would be exposed in the classroom to sensitive subjects, such as homosexuality and abortion. He wanted advance notice so he could decide whether or not to pull his kids from lessons he found objectionable according to his Greek Orthodox faith . Tourloukis asked the Court to rule that board’s decision violated his Charter rights of freedom of religion, and to declare he had final authority over the education of his children. In a   24-page judgement   released Wednesday, Justice Robert Reid of the Ontario Superior Court found that the HWDSB had indeed impinged on Tourloukis’ Charter-protected right of religious freedom . But Reid concluded the board’s refusal to grant Tourlo...

Critics of the Justin Trudeau Liberals’ transgender rights Bill C-16 are looking to the Senate as their last chance to oppose the bill after a House of Commons committee rushed it through with no public hearings and the House passed it on third reading last Friday. Conservative MP Cathay Wagantall made a last-ditch effort that day to remedy what she decried as “a deeply flawed, undemocratic process” when she unsuccessfully proposed an amendment to send the bill back to the justice and human rights committee to assess “its impact on freedom of expression.” Bill C-16, scheduled for second reading debate in the Senate on Thursday, adds “gender identity and gender expression” as prohibited grounds for discrimination under the Canadian Human Rights Act and amends the Criminal Code to add an individual’s “gender expression and identity” as protected grounds from hate propaganda. Critics say the bill opens the door to wide-ranging abuses, including putting women and girls at r...

NDP politician Cheri DiNovo has sent an open letter to Ontario’s attorney general condemning a community-based police action during which the police arrested a convicted pedophile who was breaching a probation order to stay away from children. A self-identified “queer woman,” DiNovo added her voice to a number of protests of Project Marie, a six-week sting operation at a west-end Toronto park that   police report resulted in 89 charges, including 71 charges of indecent exposure and engaging in sexual activity and one criminal charge, against 76 men and two women. Cheri DiNovo. (Photo credit: Wikipedia ) In her   open letter , the MPP for Parkdale-High Park accused police of “trying to lure gay men and trans people to proposition them for sex.” DiNovo urged Attorney-General Yasir Navqi to “immediately order all 89 charges against these 72 individuals be dropped before more lives are ruined.” “Considering these were minor by-law infractions, this also raises ...
