Last week was "pride weekend" in Vancouver, as the mainstream media couldn't stop reporting. If you've had enough with seeing the gay pride parade presented as a lovely, family-friendly event, you might want to check out a more realistic view of homosexuality from a Christian perspective. These informative and inspiring talks come from Love Won Out, a Christian ministry reaching out to people with same-sex attraction, to their parents, spouses, relatives, family and friends. Keep in mind it’s not Theology of the Body. It had its origins with our evangelical friends at Focus on the Family, which means it’s morally sound, but if you come across any nuances that don’t sound Catholic, that’s probably why. Meanwhile, if you'd like to check out the Catholic equivalent, Courage is a pro-chastity group for those with same-sex attraction. It has a sister organization Encourage, for friends and families. http://couragerc.net

I stay away from Pride I don't even listen or read any stories about the pathetic exploitation.
ReplyDeleteI doubt the Pride Parade will go on forever. I know numerous gays who are embarrassed by the event. They don't like that, as a person, they are described by their sexuality first then by their humanity. And, I think most homosexuals realize people are laughing at them not with them.
Beside having our cities hijacked for the interests of 2% of the population, what bothers me the most are irresponsible parents taking their children to the event. We all know these kids will see indecent sights and acts. In my opinion, parents that would expose their kids to such things should be charged with child sexual abuse and their children taken away from them.
