RES a gets eo ce To PRTG Re PRL DAT, tt owt se Rea Tx tesa! Bee ge UNCHALLENGED BY the media and fawned upon by the politicians, the sodomites are making big gains. And pretty soon they will have achieved so-called “‘equality’’ under our nation- and morality-destroying Charter of Rights and Freedoms. They will then be even freer to flaunt their wares — especially in the classrooms and youth groups. For under ‘‘sexual orientation’’ equality laws there would be no possibility of keeping them away from the young, who stand high on their wan list. And never mind about AIDS. We can also expect to see homosexual ‘‘marriages.’’ The actual and potential gains they have made are ominous. The Canadian Humaa Rights Commis- sion squawks almost daily that the Act must be changed to provide them with protection against “discrimination.” A portent is the recent human rights tribunal ruling that a federal civil servant had been “discriminated’’ against. His complaint? That he had been denied bereavement leave to go to Qe tat S odom is in, Motherhood out. Last week, BCTV devoted a phenomenal 10 minutes of its ‘Newshour’ to Kevin Brown, another -homosexual hero who died of AIDS. Even the pope wouidn’t have rated more.’”’ SE the funeral of his male partner's father! The tribunal also said homo couples may constitute a “‘family.”’ Svend Robinson, the homo MP, called it ‘‘a progressive and enlightened decision.’’ Of course. He’s the one who has campaigned in parliament — unsuccessfully, so far ~— for lowering the age of sex- ual consent for homosexuals to 14, a move that would mean that adults could not be prosecuted for corrupting young persons. No politician has challenged the above-described ridiculous human rights ruling. I know of no news- paper that has done so, either. Max Yalden is head of the human rights crowd in Ottawa, and his satisfied comment was: ““We may be heading for a time when the courts will be asked whether two people of the same sex will be in a spousal relation- ship, and that will have far- reaching implications.”* You bet. Like “widows, pen- sions’’ for homosexuals whose spouses have died of AIDS. Plus tax breaks and medical benefits. (A lesbian employed by Vancouver City won such benefits for her 260 W. Esplanade ’ WN. Vancouver 985-5949 lover some years ago.) In Vancouver, county court Judge Doug Wetmore ruled, sen- sibly, that a homosexual father would not be permitted overnight access to his eight-year-old son while the father is living with another man. In nothing flat, John Dixon of the B.C. Civil Liberties Associa- tion was yelling that this was ““discriminatory.’’ The association stood ready to finance an appeal, he said. Astoundingly, this protector of ‘liberties’? was quoted as saying: “Tam unaware of any serious student of morality who would declare whether homosexuality is normal or abnormal according to natural law.’ I have news for him. Lama serious student of morality, and I say that homosexuality is not only abnormal according to natural law but also filthy and conducive to disease. ] know of others who think the same way. Some of them are academics, like Dixon. But they don’t get much space in the papers. Have you ever seen a column or an editorial in the Evening Wimp denouncing the onrush of Sodom? It’s much the same across the country. On the political front, it isn’t only the feds who are too stunned or scared to resist what is happen- ing. Didn't Vancouver’s Yuppie mayor welcome the news that the 1990 Sodom Games would be held in his city? Sodom is in, Motherhead out. Last week, BCTV devoted a phe- nomenal 10 minutes of its **Newshour’’ to Kevin Brown, another homosexual hero who died of AIDS. Even the Pope wouldn't have rated more. Bown in the interior, the Kamloops News published a vicious and possibly libellous edi- torial against REAL Women, a decent national group whose crime is to promote the family and op- pose homosexuality. “The federal government’s deci- sion to provide a grant for a REAL Women annual conference is something like giving a little fi- nancial assistance to the Ku Klux Klan,”’ it wrote. It then tried to cover its ass (if I may use that expression) by admit- ting that REAL Women does not advacate violence (out), ‘‘Sup- posedly the Canadian branch of the KKK doesn’t either. Both groups, however, promote discrimination against certain minorities.*’ The minority the paper had in mind was homosexuais. But by such a measure, drunks and people who have the clap are also minorities. That’s where it’s at, folks. Have anice day@ WHilecie Mon-Fri.
