The bishop of Toronto, Andrew Asbil, will be attending Toronto’s Pride Parade on June 25th.
Not only will it be a celebration of the triune god of the Anglican Church of Confusion (ACoC for short), Diversity Inclusion Acceptance, but it will protest the rise of homophobia and transphobia. After all, our liberal government has only donated a parsimonious $40 million to 2SLGBT+HAVEIGOTTHEMALL causes in the last 4 years; it doesn’t get much more phobic than that.
Asbil goes on to make the required denouncement of the revised Ugandan homosexuality laws while conveniently ignoring the homosexuals routinely thrown off rooftops in Islamic countries. To mention that would be Islamophobic and he can’t risk a battle of the phobias.
The Pride flag will be raised at Queens Park on June 19th. In 2017, I distinctly remember the March for Life flag being taken down from Ottawa’s City Hall. What I don’t remember is any ACoC bishop protesting; not a murmur. Are they all babyphobic?
Asbil ends his missive with an invitation to join him in the June 25th Sunday worship featuring water pistols and homoerotic cavorting. Attendance is mandatory.

Dear Friends,
This year feels different.
On Sunday, June 25, hundreds of “Proud Anglicans” will come together in downtown Toronto for the annual Pride Parade. This is always a great celebration, complete with sashes, glitter, music and Super Soakers. It’s a party, celebrating the beautiful diversity of the children of God. Pride is also an affirmation of mutual love and respect within the greater human family, for we are all made in God’s loving image. The Toronto Pride Parade began almost 50 years ago as a protest but has become more of a celebration over the years as LGBTQ2s+ people have moved from the margins to the mainstream.
But this year feels different. The rise of homophobia and transphobia both far away and here at home reminds us that the struggle for inclusion, acceptance and dignity is not yet won. It seems the progress we’ve made in the areas of sexuality and gender identity is more tenuous than many of us would care to consider. In Uganda, new laws passed this month continue the criminalization of same-sex relationships but with added harsher penalties, including life in prison for those who identify publicly as LGBTQ+, and the death sentence for “aggravated homosexuality.” South of the border, in the state of Florida, the so-called “Don’t Say Gay” laws prohibit instruction of sexuality and gender identity in all grades, effectively excluding families with two Dads or two Moms from being included in the school curriculum. Here at home, some local school boards have decided they will not fly the Pride flag this year because Pride does not align with their values.
Not content with practising immorality, he must also teach it publicly. That now includes the unspeakable wickedness of the irrevocable sexual mutilation of children.
It is not in any way surprising that they used the word “pride” as it is one of the seven deadly sins. It is well past the time for the Christian community to make a stand for the Gospel which gives freedom. Tragically we see many persons including those who have made vows to the Lord fall into the sins of immorality and even worse some of these are persons who seem to feel that the colour of their collars allows them to pervert THE WORD. The time has long since past for such persons to be defrocked and the Church return to the GOSPEL.
Good point regarding the use of the word “pride” Frank. I had not thought of that.Thanks.
PRIDE is first and foremost an ideology, to be evaluated and judged like any other ideology. To exclude it from such evaluation is idolatry.
An Episcopal invitation as “inclusive” as + Genesis 19:4.
A bishop actively involved in grooming, whether he knows it or not. Few indeed are the powerful males who give up their own orgasms, they just expect women and children to surrender theirs. Mt. 5:27-32: https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/mt-527-32-dr-priscilla-turner/
There never will be sanity again until we women as the world’s largest ‘minority’ twig that none of this falsehood is to our advantage or that of our children, but serves to keep us oppressed.
