Mayor Stands Up For Family Values

The mayor of Truro, NS decided not to fly perverts' flag at the town hall. His decision was supported by the town council which voted 6 to 1 that the town hall won't be participating in those shameful perverse "pride" events that local activists are planning for next week.

Of course the decision wasn't welcome by the activists and the mainstream media. CTV was quick to find a few people (mostly from the so called "pride coalition") who claimed that the decision to opt out of celebrating perversity gives the city a bad name for making perverts feel "unwelcome".

What's more interesting, one of those defending sodomy and related lifestyle choices was... a member of the Northern AIDS Connection Society, Bonnie Joldersma. If she's unaware that the lifestyle she defends is responsible for 7 out of 10 new infections - she's clearly unfit for her position. If however she knows the facts but purposely promotes a hazardous lifestyle so more infections bring more funding for her organization - she's fit for criminal charges.

The article ends with yet another argument denouncing the decision:
It makes us look bad. These conversations were going on 15 to 20 years ago -- I thought we were way past worrying about the flying of pride flags or gay rights parades.
In other words, the perverts and their supporters were so comfortable with the status-quo. It's been at least a decade since the courts made it mandatory for mayors and city councils to endorse those shameful "pride" events despite their own beliefs, let alone the views of their constituents. Suddenly, just when those activists thought they've got the green light to shove their lifestyle down our throats from coast to coast, there's a voice of protest to their "accept it or else" approach. That's what upsets them the most.

So I thank Bill Mills and Truro town councilors who voted with him for standing up for family values. For reminding us that politicians' right and duty to live up to their beliefs doesn't stop at the fiscal policy, but applies to social policy as well. For bringing back the debate on whether one's right to fly any flag he wants also includes the right not to fly a flag he doesn't like.

The mayor must be already getting plenty of hate mail for his courageous stand. Please email the Mayor and thank him for upholding family values. Let us not be silent!
