Showing posts with the label gay

My words are not neccessary:

My Take: Ending 'don't ask, don't tell' would undermine religious liberty   Editor's Note : Tony Perkins is President of the Family Research Council and a Marine veteran. By Tony Perkins , Special to CNN Some people think allowing open homosexuality in the military means nothing more than opening a door that was previously closed. It means much more than that. It would mean simultaneously ushering out the back door anyone who disapproves of homosexual conduct, whether because of legitimate privacy and health concerns or because of moral or religious convictions. This outcome is almost inevitable, because pro-homosexual activists have made it clear that merely lifting the “ban” on openly homosexual military personnel will not satisfy them. The stand-alone bills that have been introduced to overturn the 1993 law, such as S. 3065, call explicitly for: Revision of all equal opportunity and human relations regulations, directives, and instruction...

A feeling of general disgruntedness.

In the wake of recent global happenings, I have noticed a trend.  I've been searching for "SYPH-able" articles and I have read hundreds of comments on various reports.  It seems that we, as Canadians, can find a way to make anything and everything a political issue, gender issue, race issue or even intelligence issue. Not EVERYTHING is Stephen Harper's fault (again, let's remember who voted him in). Somehow, sexual orientation winds its way in as well.  I don't care if you are gay, straight, lesbian, bisexual or transgendered - not EVERYTHING is an open forum for you to spout ideals regarding your lifestyle (the Calgary Stampede has nothing do do with sexual orientation).

There's a Gay Tourism Association?

Gay Tourists not Market Niche, Report Suggests First of all, I didn't even know that there was a Gay Tourism Association.  Does Canada need one of those?  I think there are already plenty of gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgendered people in our fair nation (105 out of about 2200 surveyed - 4.77% for the math geeks out there - I didn't realize there were THAT many, either). Second of all, do we really need to hype up our national treasures to make them more appealing to gay people?  Frankly, I'd rather have fewer people of the GLBT group out and about in the hot vacation spots.  What are good Christian parents supposed to tell their kids when they see two men snuggling on a bench at Niagra, or two women groping each other in Banff National Park?  Apparently nothing is sacred anymore. While I'm not going to tell gays and lesbians that they are wrong, I believe that freedom of speech allows me to say that I do not appreciate public displays of affection betwee...
