Crossroads is in Uganda helping to “dig wells, build latrines and promote hygiene”. CIDA has given Crossroads $544,813 of taxpayer money to help with the effort – a rare case of the effective application of foreign aid.
Now, Crossroads is a Christian organisation – a real one – so it regards homosexual activity as sinful, making this donation of taxpayer dollars a paradigm of political incorrectness, a heinous atrocity of cosmic proportions.
Who cares that Crossroads is doing a good job and is actually helping Ugandans? No-one in the mainstream media, it seems because the horror of calling homosexuality a sin is a far bigger outrage than an African without clean drinking water. In the deranged little world of liberals, LGBT crusaders and mainline church sympathisers, this is known as social justice.
The time is coming when to be a Christian in the West will amount to being a pariah, persona non grata – as welcome as a leper in a kindergarten. Perhaps the time has already come: the question is, will our society – and Ugandans – be better or worse off for it?
From here:
An evangelical organization that describes homosexuality as a “perversion” and a “sin” is receiving funding from the Government of Canada for its work in Uganda, where gays and lesbians face severe threats.
The federal government has denounced virulent homophobia in that East African country and Foreign Affairs Minister John Baird has condemned plans for an anti-gay bill that could potentially include the death penalty for homosexuals.
Nevertheless, the federal government is providing $544,813 in funding for Crossroads Christian Communications — an Ontario-based evangelical group that produces television programming — to help dig wells, build latrines and promote hygiene awareness in Uganda through 2014.
Until Tuesday, the organization’s website carried a list of “sexual sins” deemed to be “perversion”: “Turning from the true and/or proper purpose of sexual intercourse; misusing or abusing it, such as in pedophilia, homosexuality and lesbianism, sadism, masochism, transvestism, and bestiality.”
Lower down the page, the group asks sinners to “repent.”
“God cares too much for you (and all of His children) to leave such tampering and spiritual abuse unpunished,” according to the group’s website.
Just hours after The Canadian Press contacted the group to ask a spokesperson about the site, the page in question disappeared from public view.

Steve Foster, president of the Quebec LGBT Council, said the federal government should stop funding groups like Crossroads.
For those interested in the Crossroads page that vanished, here it is, unexpurgated, complete with the indescribable abomination of Bible references:
Sexual Sins
Sexual Sins Include
Immorality – Moral behaviour that is contrary to God’s standards.
Perversion – Turning from the true and/or proper purpose of sexual intercourse; misusing or abusing it, such as in pedophilia, homosexuality and lesbianism, sadism, masochism, transvestism, and beastiality.
Adultery – Sexual activity with a person other than your spouse.
Fornication – Illicit sexual activity when you aren’t married.
Sexual sins are committed because of lust (1 John 2:16; Galatians 5:19-21). When you allow improper sexual drives to control you as a Christian, an inner tension will result in your mind, emotions and will. You will want to be spiritual, but find yourself being a slave to sensuality. The result is what the Bible calls double-mindedness (James 1:8), which leads to a reprobate mind (Romans 1:28).
