Scarce Federal Dollars Fund Sex Parade

[The following action alert comes from Canada Family Action in an e-mail of June 22, 2009.]

Action Alert:

 Some of you will not be aware yet that the federal Conservative government “proudly” announced a transfer of $400,000 of your tax dollars to the Toronto Pride s-x parade. . . . .

 On June 4^th Prime Minister Harper announced a new program setting aside $100 million for “Marquis Tourism Events”.  With record speed, on June 15^th, the Minister of State, Diane Ablonzcy, got a $400,000 cheque out the door to fund the sex parade in Toronto this week. The next giveaway, to who knows what city, for their sex parade remains to be seen. But all this is a clear indication that the Conservative party has abandoned conservative principles.  [More]

Vancouver Police Arrest Sissy Von Dehn:  Informing the Public 
Regarding the "Bubble Zone" Law

[from a news release from Stephanie Gray of the Canadian Centre for Bio-Ethical Reform]

VANCOUVER, BC, June 18, 2009- At 1:30pm (PST) this afternoon police arrested

a 73-year-old BC resident, Cecilia VonDehn, outside the Everywoman's Health

Care abortion facility in downtown Vancouver who was merely informing

passersby of the law.

The BC Access to Abortion Services Act forbids any counsel against abortion

to be given within 50 meters of an abortion mill. VonDehn, however, was not

breaking that law.  Instead, she was informing people of the existence of

that law, known as bubble zone legislation.

Family and friends have not heard from VonDehn since the arrest.  She is

being held for the night in Canada's notorious Downtown Eastside, in a

holding jail known for being the drunk tank.  It is not known what condition

she herself is in, nor what conditions she is being kept in.

UK, American, Canadian Pro-Life Groups Condemn Tiller Murder

By Alex Bush

June 1, 2009 (LifeSiteNews.com) - In the wake of the murder of late-term abortionist George Tiller, pro-life groups from across North America and the UK have condemned the killing as “heinous,” “deplorable,” “cowardly,” “senseless,” and “unconscionable.” 

Abortionist Tiller was renowned for performing late-term abortions in Kansas, many of them post-viability. The abortionist only recently found himself in court facing 19 counts of performing illegal late-term abortions, but was found “not guilty” by a jury last month.  He had also survived a previous murder attempt in 1993.

Scott Roeder, a man with no affiliations with the mainstream pro-life movement, has been taken into custody and is expected to be charged with allegedly murdering Tiller.

LifeSiteNews.com has obtained statements from some 20 pro-life groups, all unanimously condemning the murder.  The statements stress that while Tiller was involved in perpetrating a great evil, all life is sacred, including the lives of abortionists. They also stress that the pro-life movement wishes to change abortion laws by legal means and not by violence. (To read all the statements, click here)   [Read the whole of the above article from LifeSite News.]

CBC "Engaged in Blatant Media Censorship" Says CLC about Lack of National Coverage for March for Life
CLC lodges formal complaint to the CRTC

By Alex Bush

May 25, 2009 (LifeSiteNews.com) - Campaign Life Coalition (CLC), the Canadian pro-life organization that every year organizes the National March for Life, is accusing the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation (CBC) of engaging in "blatant media censorship." According to the pro-life group, "for a broadcaster who is funded by the taxpaying Canadian public" CBC's failure to give national coverage to this year's March for Life "certainly constitutes unethical journalism and professional misconduct."

A letter signed by CLC president Jim Hughes was sent to the CBC Ombudsman today . . . .

"How is it that CBC's national news desk has in the recent past given lengthy coverage to a paltry 200 individuals at a pro-marijuana rally on the Hill," asks the letter, "but fails to notice 12,000+ prolife citizens overflowing the grounds of Parliament Hill?"  [More]

Commentary: American Psychological Association 
Changes Tune on Genetic Nature of Homosexuality


Commentary by A. Dean Byrd, Ph.D., MBA, MPH

May 13, 2009 (LifeSiteNews.com) - In 1998, the American Psychological Association (APA) published a brochure titled "Answers to Your Questions about Sexual Orientation and Homosexuality." . . . .

This particular document was ostensibly published to provide definitive answers about homosexuality. However, few of the assertions made in the brochure could find any basis in psychological science. Clearly a document anchored more in activism than in empiricism, the brochure was simply a demonstration of how far APA had strayed from science, and how much it had capitulated to activism.

The newest APA brochure, which appears to be an update of the older one, is titled, "Answers to Your Questions for a Better Understanding of Sexual Orientation & Homosexuality."

Though both brochures have strong activist overtones (both were created with "editorial assistance from the APA Committee on Lesbian, Gay and Bisexual Concerns"), the newer document is more reflective of science and more consistent with the ethicality of psychological care.  [More]

Today’s Scripture, next year’s hatred

[From an editorial by Paul Schratz, BC Catholic,  May 4, 2009] 

When the B.C. NDP calls for the removal of a Liberal election candidate because of “disturbingly homophobic comments,” it might be chalked up to politics as usual.

However, when the leading opinion shapers in the province echo those sentiments, it’s evidence that a sea change has occurred in terms of public support of homosexuality.

It’s also evidence that it may not be long before publicly stating elements of our faith becomes not just uncomfortable, but risky.

. . .this is where we have arrived. A decades-long campaign to end hatred and unreasonable discrimination against homosexuals has morphed past "gay marriage" and into a doctrinaire age that brooks no criticism of homosexual behaviour.

Want to Know How the British Columbia Teachers' Federation Advises Teachers to Deal with Parents who Object to the Pro-Homosexuality Program?

The BCTF has a web-page entitled "Objections to Antihomophobia Curriculum in Schools."  A list of suggestions follows the sentence "Here are some quick responses for educators when talking to parents."  Here is a sampling of parental statements under various headings and suggested responses to them (as downloaded April 26, 2009):

"Parent Rights"

"This is against our rights as parents to teach our own set of family values."

• As teachers, we do not condone children being removed from our classes when we teach about Aboriginal people, people of colour, people with disabilities, or gays and lesbians.

• You can teach your child your own values at home. Public schools teach everyone about respecting diversity and valuing everyone.

Religion and Cultural Objections

"This is against our religion/culture."

• As teachers, we do not condone children being removed from our classes when we engage in antiracism education. This issue is no different. [More]

"Social Justice" Speaker Talks of the Possibility 
of Silencing Parents

[posted on this BCPTL site Apr. 5, 2009]

The following report of a "Social Justice" conference speaker's comment, coming as the report does from Mary-Woo Sims, former Chief Commissioner of the British Columbia Human Rights Commissioon, confirms what we have heard from other sources.

"In February, a conference took place in Abbotsford to discuss social justice issues. While the conference had been organized for some time, it followed the Abbotsford Board of Education decision to allow secondary schools to offer Social Justice 12 to students this fall.

"What ought to have been an easy decision was complicated by the fact that Social Justice 12 now incorporates teachings about sexual orientation. One of the speakers, professor Martha Dow, apparently said that the curriculum comes down to deciding who the education establishment decides it needs to silence: parents or progressives."

Terry O'Neil's comment, also on Tri-CityNews.com, gives Martha Dow's words as a direct quote.  Here is what Terry had to say:

"At a teachers’ conference in Abbotsford in February, a sociology professor named Martha Dow suggested the curriculum puts onto a collision course, on one hand, the proponents of equality rights for groups such as homosexuals and, on the other, religious parents who view homosexual activity as immoral.

“ 'What I would argue is we need to decide who we want to silence, and it’s not a very comfortable conversation for everyone,' Dow said.

"The professor did not specifically declare that it is parents who will end up being silenced but she certainly suggested this. And that’s what should worry everyone with a stake in public education.

"Such a “silencing” would undoubtedly constitute a catastrophic fracture of the bond between parents and teachers, and would inevitably have deleterious effects on the public education system."

Given the mindset of some of the course's proponents, perhaps it was inevitable that the sentiment about silencing viewpoints would come out, but it is surprising that it came out so soon. It reminds us of Jack in Lord of the Flies:

“Conch! Conch!” shouted Jack. “We don’t need the conch any more. We know who ought to say things. What good did Simon do speaking, or Bill, or Walter? It’s time some people knew they’ve got to keep quiet and leave deciding things to the rest of us.”

The  obsession with stem cells obtained by destroying embryos has little to do with any real evidence of therapeutic benefit, and a great deal to do with researchers’ ultimate goal of being able to manipulate human life at will.  

--Richard M. Doerflinger is deputy director of the Secretariat for Pro-Life Activities, United States Conference of Catholic Bishops, quoted on Focus on a the Fanuly website ``Citizen Link``

BCTF ‘Social Justice’ conference at UFV told  

teachers how to manipulate student attitudes.

 by Ron Gray

Feb. 20 and 21, I attended the first “Social Justice conference” staged by the BC Teachers’ Federation at University of the Fraser Valley in Abbotford.

It was an eye-opener!

Although the stated purpose of the conference was to show teachers how to approach the Social Justice 12 curriculum adopted under BC’s Corren Settlement Agreement, an underlying purpose was clearly revealed by a graphic of a staircase, distributed by the BCTF in its information packages: the goal is to move students’ attitude towards LGBTQ (lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgendered and questioning) people beyond “tolerance” to “acceptance”—and then further along to “support,” “admiration,” “appreciation” and finally “celebration” of deviant sexuality.

Angry homosexual mob surrounds Christians in San Francisco; police escort to safety

On Friday night, before the day of protest we saw across the nation, a conflict erupted in San Francisco's Castro District between a group of residents and a group of Christians who reportedly meet every Friday on the same corner to preach to gays and lesbians about 'converting' into heterosexuals. This time, they were met by an angry mob and the conflict grew so large riot police were called to the area as the Christians were basically chased out of the neighborhood.

KTVU reports: "'Their rights were respected,' said Joe Schmitz, an opponent of Prop 8. 'They got a chance to go ahead and pray on the sidewalk and I had the opportunity to express my freedom of speech which is telling them to get out of my neighborhood.' San Francisco Police officers in riot gear formed a line and escorted the religious group into a van to safely get them out of the area. Members of the gay community insisted that their reaction to the Christian group was spontaneous. 'It was not an organized thing. We're tired of it. It's not religious. It's not a racial thing. It's about hate. We're trying to send a message across the world that we're standing up and we don't want this to go on anymore,' said Adam Quintero."

Pro-gay marriage protests staged in California

People protest outside the Saddleback Church in Lake Forest, Calif. (The Orange County Register)

LOS ANGELES — On the first Sunday after a gay marriage ban passed in California, activists rallied in defiance, including hundreds of protesters outside an Orange County megachurch whose pastor brought Barack Obama and John McCain together last summer for a "faith forum."

About 300 gay-rights advocates fanned out along sidewalks leading to Saddleback Church in Lake Forest to voice their anger of the church's support of Proposition 8, a constitutional amendment approved by voters Tuesday that overturns a state Supreme Court decision in May legalizing same-sex unions.

Protests Over Gay-Marriage Ban Escalate in California

Friday, November 07, 2008

Fox News online

Angry gay rights activists in California continue to protest the Election Day passage of Proposition 8, which amended the state constitution to restrict marriage to between a man and a woman.

A diverse coalition of social and religious conservatives campaigned to overrule a state Supreme Court judgment six months ago that legalized same-sex marriage and saw 18,000 gay and lesbian couples marry in the Golden State.

Ballot initiatives to illegalize gay marriage also passed in Florida and Arizona on Tuesday

Christian ministry suffers web attack

Allie Martin - OneNewsNow - 12/30/2008 4:00:00 AM

The chairman of the Christian Film & Television Commission says homosexual activists have launched a criminal attack on his ministry.

Massachusets Department of Public Health "groundbreaking" report says homosexuality linked with health problems, destructive behavior.

MassResistance, December 3, 2008

. . . .

"The report revealed significant disparities among people who identified as homosexual or bisexual in the areas of access to care, self-reported health status, anxiety, depression, suicide ideation, smoking, binge drinking, illicit drug use, sexual assault victimization, intimate partner violence, disability, obesity, asthma and heart disease . . . Lesbians were 2.2 times more likely than heterosexual women to be obese."

. . .  /

In other words, the DPH is forced to admit what everyone has known for a long time. Unfortunately, the extremely destructive nature of homosexual behavior - both medical and psychological - is usually not only suppressed, but is considered completely off-limits for discussion. But ultimately, some of the truth gets out, even in Massachusetts.

From tolerance to celebration

EDUCATION / The making of a gay-friendly elementary school

Patti Shales Lefkos / Vancouver / Wednesday, July 19, 2006

Five and a half years ago, I became principal of the West End's Lord Roberts Elementary School and its annex. . . . .

First, there was the story of the rainbow flag. . . . .

Then there was the story of the photo exhibit called All Kinds of Families. For one week, photos were displayed in the main hall depicting families of various ethnic backgrounds, single parents, and same-sex parents. . . . . 

We began with a two-day staff retreat featuring presentations by the Gay and Lesbian Educators of BC (GALE). We decided each teacher would lead a class meeting to discuss name-calling. If students did not bring up homophobic names, the teacher would. So began our journey from tolerance to celebration.  . . . .
