But why are they at the end of the of the list: blatant discrimination.
The Christian, common-sense and scientific view that children are better off with with a mother and father rather than two fathers, two mothers or perverse mixtures thereof is obviously of limited interest to CAS, an organisation that appears to be more obsessed with obsequious political correctness than with caring for children.
Windsor police will be taking mandatory training on homophobic violence. The training is designed to increase “empathy toward this particular community” – individuals who are, in any combination, one or more of the following: lesbian, gay, bisexual or trans-identified.
Since empathy entails entering into another’s personality, one wonders whether the Windsor Police Service is going to be encouraged to explore its inner gayness.
Read it all here:
The Windsor Police Service is pleased to announce a new training initiative for it’s employees to be undertaken in cooperation with EGALE Canada. EGALE Canada is a national organization committed to advancing equality and justice for lesbian, gay, bisexual and trans-identified people and their families across Canada. Members of EGALE Canada have partnered with the Windsor Police Service and will be in Windsor over a five week period commencing on Wednesday January 12, 2011 in order to train all of the Service’s sworn and civilian employees.
The presentation entitled “Report Homophobic Violence Period” will provide further insight into some of the challenges the lesbian, gay, bisexual and trans-identified population face within our communities. The training will also assist all members of the Windsor Police Service to more readily distinguish between those crimes considered “Hate Related” or crimes of opportunity during our investigations. Chief Gary Smith explains “As a police service, we want to encourage members of the lesbian, gay, bisexual and trans-identified population to feel more comfortable in coming forward and reporting crimes committed either against them or within the community. This training will reinforce our knowledge of basic human rights and will increase our empathy toward this particular community within our society.” It should be noted that the Windsor Police Service is the first Police Agency in Canada to make this training mandatory for all of the Service’s employees.
There is, of course, nothing new in this: it has been a great success amongst the constabulary of North Wales. The Windsor Police Service could learn a thing or two about empathy from them:

The Clothing Cupboard at All Saints’ Anglican Church is open every Tuesday morning from 9:00 a.m. until 12 noon. It is located in the basement of the church house on the City Square, beside City Hall. Coffee and refreshments are available to everyone prior to going down to the Clothing Cupboard. There is no charge for any of the clothing or for the refreshments.
Under the leadership of Archdeacon Kim Van Allen, the church has initiated a program to make their Clothing Cupboard available to those in the Transgender community who feel uncomfortable attending the public opening on Tuesdays. One of their volunteers, Henry Johnson, is willing to arrange access to those who would like private access to the Cupboard. He may be contacted through the church office.
This is a worthwhile service which is open to all members of our city and county, including the LGBT community.
Donations to the Clothing Cupboard can be dropped off at the church office. The Church’s telephone number is 519-253-8001.
Tonight there will be a special on matching gentlemen’s bras and maniples.
No, it’s not what you think.
This is a case of homosexuals bullying Christians.
When Martyn Hall and his civil partner, Steven Preddy, sued Christian hoteliers, Mr and Mrs Bull, for not allowing the homosexual pair to sleep in the same room, it was not because they would otherwise have had to sleep outside in the cold. They sued because they wanted to force their views of homosexuality onto a pair of Christians.
That’s what the lawsuit was really about: bullying.
From here:
A psychotherapist faces being struck off after trying to ‘convert’ a homosexual man.
Lesley Pilkington, 60, a therapist for 20 years, is accused of ‘praying to God’ to ‘heal’ the patient .
Mrs Pilkington, will appear at a landmark disciplinary hearing this week where she faces being stripped of her accreditation to the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy.
The patient, a homosexual rights campaigner, secretly recorded her controversial treatment at two sessions before reporting her to the association.
A small group of counsellors believe all men are born heterosexual, but some choose a gay lifestyle which can be changed through therapy…….
She treated journalist Patrick Strudwick at her private practice based at her home in Chorleywood, Hertfordshire, after he approached her at a Christian conference.
He recorded the sessions on a tape machine strapped to his stomach. Asked if she viewed homosexuality as a ‘mental illness, an addiction or an anit-religious phenomenon’, she replied: ‘It is all of that’.
In the disciplinary letter sent to her by BACP, she is accused of having an ‘agenda that homosexuality is wrong and that gay people can change and you allegedly attempted to inflict these views on him.’
Mrs Pilkington accused Strudwick of entrapment. She said: ‘He told me was looking for a treatment for being gay.
‘I told him I only work using a Christian biblical framework and he said that was exactly what he wanted.’
Her defence is being funded by the Christian Legal Centre which has instructed a leading religious rights barrister to fight the case.
This is preposterous. The therapist isn’t forcing gay men to come to her: no one is. If gay crusaders have their way, it will become illegal to help gay men who do want to change – and there are some – making it close to compulsory for someone with homosexual inclinations to act them out.

Alberta has removed homosexuality from its diagnostic guide to mental-health disorders.
Alberta Health and Wellness Minister Gene Zwozdesky ordered the section of the document removed Tuesday after a reporter brought the issue to the province’s attention.
“I ordered the immediate removal of something I thought was incorrect, unacceptable, rather ancient in its thinking and otherwise demeaning,” he said Wednesday.
“I’ve also asked for a thorough review of the entire classification categories.”
The diagnostic guide helps doctors decide what to bill for the treatment of patients.
Homosexuality was listed in the guide under sexual deviations and disorders.
The American Psychiatric Association stopped considering homosexuality a disorder in 1973, followed by the Canadian Psychiatric Association in 1982.
Zwozdesky said he doesn’t know why it remained so long on Alberta’s list.
The reasons given for the change are instructive:
something I thought was incorrect is hardly a scientific conclusion based on evidence.
unacceptable is a merely an expression of contemporary mores in much the same vein as frowning on farting at the dinner table.
ancient in its thinking is completely inaccurate considering the thinking in question must have been in vogue in the 1970s.
otherwise demeaning is even less scientifically convincing than the first reason.
It just goes to show that psychiatry owes more to political correctness than it does to empirically verifiable fact.
There was a time when people were bought and sold as slaves; those days are over. Or are they?
Adam and Kyle, a homosexual couple, are buying a baby created to their specifications: a designer baby, a Bruno fashion accessory.
Embryos will be screened for suitability and those which don’t measure up will be discarded. How much does a human commodity cost these days? About $100,000.

A female friend is donating eggs in return for a pair of £2,000 Christian Louboutin designer shoes.
The men rejected one woman who wanted to donate her eggs because: “She hardly had any nice clothes and that’s just not what we want”, Mr Miller said.

A former Canadian Prime Minister, Pierre Trudeau, once famously quipped: “The state has no business in the bedrooms of the nation.”
Unless, it would seem, the “nation” means schoolchildren ages 12-17, and the “state” is local school board bureaucrats and/or the provincial Ministry of Education.
The Ottawa-Carleton District School Board (Ontario, Canada) plans to issue a survey which asks, among other things, for children to disclose their gender (four choices) and sexual orientation (nine choices). Proponents claim the survey is voluntary, but rather than requiring parental permission for the survey to be administered, the onus is on parents to opt out in writing (by Nov. 19), if they do not wish their child to participate.
Not surprisingly the survey, which runs Nov. 22 – Dec.10, has sparked controversy:
Some parents say the survey—which also asks about students’ religion, their ethnic backgrounds, who they live with at home, and their parents’ employment [and educational] status—is an invasion of privacy.
Although the survey is touted as being anonymous, each form is tagged with a code that can be traced back to the individual child, and, by extension, his or her family. Critics wonder what kind of inferences will be drawn, and who will have access to information that involves the cultural, religious, financial, and educational status of students’ parents.
The school board, predictably, claims that such delving into personal information is crucial, and ultimately for the students’ own good, so that the school can offer better anti-bullying and anti-homophobia programming.
For anyone wondering what the nine choices are for sexual orientation, they are:
Bisexual Gay (male); Heterosexual (straight); Lesbian (female); Queer Questioning; Transsexual; Two-spirited; Prefer not to disclose.
“Only nine?” I expect you are thinking; what about hermaphrodites, the androgynous, and necrophiliacs? As soon as I’ve finished this I will be writing to the Minister of Education to report this discrimination.
Which reminds me of an episode in Anthony Powell’s great novel series, A Dance to the Music of Time. Powell, a comic novelist second only to Evelyn Waugh, tells us of the demise of Pamela who hated her husband and had a necrophiliac lover – who couldn’t perform, of course. In order to exact revenge on her husband, she committed suicide, leaving him with the anguish of both losing her for himself and to her lover.
That’s the trouble with school boards today: their narrow little world of “diversity” shows no imagination whatsoever.
A homosexual Saudi prince beat his lover to death and can’t return to his own country because – although murder of a servant isn’t a real problem – Saudi Arabia, being founded on the religion of peace, would put him to death for being gay.
If only he had married his catamite instead of murdering him, he could have applied to the priesthood of the Anglican Church of Canada and, as a homosexual Muslim, been guaranteed a bishopric within a few years. He could still apply after he is released; he’d have to find another catamite, of course.
From here:
He must serve a minimum term of 20 years in jail for murdering Bandar Abdulaziz in a ”brutal” assault at their five-star hotel.
If he ever returns to his home country, Saud faces the possibility of execution because being gay is a capital offence there.
From here:
WASHINGTON — As many as 95 percent of Marines would be uncomfortable serving alongside openly gay troops, the retiring commandant of the Marine Corps told Fox News in an exclusive interview.
Gen. James Conway told Fox News’ Jennifer Griffin that a majority of his men and women think a repeal of the “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell” policy barring gays from serving openly will be problematic, so he has to believe that, too.
“When we take a survey of our Marines, by and large, they say that they are concerned that it will cause potential problems with regard to their order and discipline — that it will impact their sense of unit cohesion,” Conway said.
Gen. Conway was the first member of the Joint Chiefs of Staff to speak out against a repeal earlier this year after Defense Secretary Robert Gates and Joint Chiefs Chairman Admiral Mike Mullen publicly endorsed President Obama’s desire to change the law.
The percentage of homosexuals in the military is in the “low single digits”, so why is this policy being repealed? Because it “infringes on fundamental rights”? – then why join the military; there is nothing quite as right infringing as being shot at by inconsiderate enemies. To make 3% of the military comfortable while making 90% uncomfortable? Because it has been illegal for the last 17 years and someone has just noticed? For the application of that elusive commodity, fairness?
Or to make the military compliant with the psychoses of our homosexualised culture?
