Anglicans at World Pride 2014

As usual the Anglican Church of Canada was represented:

Proud Anglicans

More PA

The rector in this photo is Rev. Maggie Helwig who has a particular interest in not offending human dignity. Oddly enough, elsewhere in the march that she was so happy to take part in, we find a display that falls somewhat short of a panegyric to the human dignity of which she is so fond:

You will be pleased to hear that over $1.8M of our taxes went into making this march such a law-flouting success.

  1. Why is it that anyone else would be arrested? If they want equality then why does that not apply to the law of the land?

    • Maybe, just maybe, some of those attending with their children to watch, who were not fully aware of what it entailed, will have been shocked enough to stay away in the future and to tell others too. Don’t count on it though.

      The police, by the way, were too busy laughing as they got soaked by squirt guns. There are pictures on the internet showing that. I would have to guess they had instructions not to make any such arrests.

  2. The apostates have virtually taken over the ACoC and this has resulted in many simply following in the steps of the apostate leadership. Tragically our governments have been taken in by these sleazy people and have also given up on proper moral standards for the community. Indeed arrests should have been made for public nudity but you can well appreciate the backlash from the perverted group seen in these photos.

  3. Past time for a Canterbury-authorized Shame Parade:
    with a real defrocking – of all those wolves in wolves clothing
    misleading the stray sheep who are following them over the cliff.

  4. Disgusting. Absolutely and completely disgusting. Yet these shame-filled and vanity driven sex deviants demand (not just want but actually demand) our respect and support (which is considerably more than just tolerance).

  5. We were born into this world naked, what is so wrong with walking in a display of pride in ones full self, not hidden, but revealed fully to the world?

    If I recall correctly Adam & Eve did not show shame in their body, until after eating the apple…

    Human dignity is defined as an individuals sense of self-respect and self-worth, physical and psychological integrity and empowerment. Just because you do not value or respect your own body in the same way as someone else, does not make them wrong and you right. There are two sides to the shield of truth, and you can only see one. I invite you to take a long hard walk-around to the other side and open yourself up to more truth in love and life.

    May the LORD Bless you.

    • Sadly however these people are not celebrating the God given beauty of the human body, but are instead displaying their sexual depravity.

      • Looks like a lamb, but sounds like a lion
        – the wrong lion.
        + I Peter 5:8,9a
        “Be sober; be vigilant; because your adversary the devil,
        as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour:
        whom resist stedfast in the faith.”

    • I’m with Grace: the desire to parade one’s nakedness in public is as much an expression of the comedy of the human condition and its innate fallenness as anything else.
      The contention that its real purpose is to demonstrate an individual’s self-respect elevates it from the mildly comic to side-splitting Rabelaisian ribaldry. Even – or perhaps especially – from the other side.

    • I have had many, many conversations, during many years of friendship with the gay community. The assumptions are correct. At one parade several men had sex in the alley way off the route, below the apartment we were visiting, for all to witness. Even the group of gay people I was with at the time were disgusted. There is no freedom here, only bondage. May God have mercy on all of us, and save us from ourselves.

  6. Nevertheless, LionLambe, if I ever see you, I hope you’ll have clothes on. Sights such as that whole slew of naked men could indeed scare the horses. And give the rest of us cause to laugh until our ribs hurt.

  7. For LionLambe:- Yes indeen the Scriptures state that Adam and Eve were naken but you will note that God made coverings from fig leaves for them. It is totally disgusting and degrading for people, regardless of claimed sexual orientation, to parade in this manner. From your posting I would have to assume you have been taken in by the rhetoric of the homosexual community. They have even managed to pervert the word “gay” which actually means happy or joyful. There is no medical proof whatever that people are “born that way”. Scripture is clear in stating homosexual activity is sinful. Each and every one of us has our own individual sin tendencies – that is part of our old nature and as Christians we are to fight against it.

  8. Christians should be clothed in Christ’s righteousness. Perhaps people can be naked in public if they are prepared to be crucified on the cross like Jesus.

  9. All of you above are idiots. they are happy and could care less about what you sour fucks think. It was a great party, specially the dyke march. and fuck your beliefs, fuck you for quoting your archaic beliefs, not everyone shares your fucking enthusiasm of god. In today’s day and age you guys are gullible enough to swallow the filth of faith and you think these people are sinning. everyone in Canada knows what happens at pride and which area it happens in.

    Fuck you all, hope you burn in your fictitious hell. Canada rocks.

    • infernal_shaker,

      I was in two minds about whether to delete your comment. What saved it was your providing such an exemplary illustration of the quality of thought and extent of vocabulary that evidently typifies those who espouse what pass for beliefs in your solipsistic little world.

    • I’m glad David saved this comment. It demonstrates not only the morals of a pig rutting in the barnyard, but also the intelligence. Infernal_shaker, though, probably thought the f-bomb laden rant was an effective argument but, as I said, indicates an IQ more on the level of a simple-minded animal.

    • You are correct that we should pray for him, and all those others who are so lost. For God loves them also, and not just us. As our Lord has said
      “I say unto you, that likewise joy shall be in heaven over one sinner that repenteth, more than over ninety and nine just persons, which need no repentance.”

      • Such was The LORD’s message to Paul in Corinth, one of the gay capitals of the ancient world, “… I have much people in this City” (v.10); ( I have much people in Toronto, Vancouver, Montreal…)
        therefore Paul was not to be “afraid, but speak, and hold not thy peace” + Acts 18; I Corinthians 6:9-19.
        The critical issue is that the Reverends ‘Pauls’ and ‘Priscillas” of the latter days Churches have become part of the sinful problem rather than its Gospel-based solution. A spiritual tragedy for the lost souls; and a graver spiritual accounting for their false shepherds.

    • Took a while longer than any of us thought, surely? 😀

      Are you honestly going to deny that you guys adore talking about Teh Gays?

      • Teh:

        Teh is an Internet slang neologism most frequently used as an English article, based on a common typographical error of “the”. Teh has subsequently developed grammatical usages distinct from the.[1] It is not common in spoken or written English outside technical or leetspeak circles, but when spoken, it is pronounced /t?/ or /t?/.[2]
        Along with pwn, teh is a standard feature of leetspeak.[3] Originating from the common typo, it has become conventionalized in a variety of contexts. It is often used ironically,[4] and can be used to mock someone’s lack of “techie” knowledge or skills, as an insult, or to reinforce a group’s elitism;[2] cf. eye dialect. It is frequently used to denote mock ignorance of over-used and over-determined concepts (e.g., “long live teh Patriarchy”).[5]

        Or it could have just been a typo.

  10. I am not sure who “you guys” are. I don’t know anyone else who posts on this board. However, I honestly deny I adore talking about Teh Gays.
