CBC is reporting that "People in eastern Ontario's Prince Edward County are showing support for the gay community after a message in a Picton church bulletin warned that Catholics and Christians should stay away from harmful Pride events." AYFKM?
The Catholic Church, as with any other person, religion or political party,
has the right to believe what they choose to be right and wrong. Even if that doesn't fit in with your beliefs.
Pride events are harmful because they are not inclusive and they promote promiscuity. Dancing around in public half naked or wearing lingerie handing out free condoms. That's not the place I'd like to take young children to. It is very worldly.
No one wants to see a Gay or Lesbian kid commit suicide. Yet all forms of extremism should be shunned and promoting promiscuity is one of them. The bible teaches that homosexuality is wrong. Catholics are allowed to believe in the bible. You can't force a Catholic, Protestant, Muslim, Jew, Sikh, Hindu, Buddhist or Baha'i to perform Gay marriages if it is against their religion to do so. Get over it. That doesn't mean you or anyone else is not allowed to be Gay. It just means you can't force your beliefs on them any more than they can force their beliefs on you.
Telling kids there is no such thing as gender is harmful and stupid. The biological reproductive organs declare that Gender does exist. Caitlyn Jenner is not a role model. Caitlyn is a part of society we accept. Caitlyn is like an agnostic. They don't know what they believe. Caitlyn used to be a man, who became a woman and still prefers to have sex with women. So what public restroom does she use that wouldn't make others feel uncomfortable? The LGTB extremists have dumped Caitlyn because of her political beliefs. Go figure. She was a role model as long as she agreed with them.
As soon as she starts to question them, they dump her. That is sad.
Rick Mercer is a great guy. His political satire show was awesome and lasted 15 years. Recently he
posted a video confronting Jason Kenny's homophobia. I didn't realize Rick Mercer was Gay and I don't care. He's a great guy. He's funny and smart. Jason Kenney's flaming homophobia is a bit over the top. I think he's over compensating for something. It's like those TV evangelists that publicly denounce homosexuality then are caught with a Gay prostitute.
Jason Kenney is more conflicted that Caitlyn Jenner. People have the right to be who they are and what they are. People don't have the right to force their beliefs on others.
It really is that simple.
