More and more abnormal behaviours claim the status of human rights

Blood donors

 

            Canada, the United States, France and Germany presently maintain a lifetime donation ban for men who have had sex with other men. Recently, in some countries homosexual associations are aligning with advocacy groups, blood-collection agencies and government representatives to lobby their respective governments to lift the ban. Form letters are available on-line for sympathizers to sign and forward to their government agency. In the U.K., the Red Cross argues that the ban is “outdated.” In the U.S., the Food and Drug Agency commissioned an advisory body to look at the issue. In June 2010, the Advisory Committee on Blood Safety and Availability voted to maintain the current ban forbidding homosexuals from donating blood. A professor of pathology at the University of Texas warns that blood screening is not reliable and insists that “:The rights of the recipients to receive safe blood should trump the asserted rights of donors to give blood.” (www.medscape.com).

 

            In Canada, Canadian Blood Services is suing Kyle Freeman, a sexually active gay man, who lied about his sexual history in order to donate blood a number of times. Mr. Freeman is being supported by the gay community in Canada and portrayed as a loving, compassionate man who wants only to do good things. Mr. Freeman is counter-suing, saying that the policy discriminates against homosexuals.

 

‘Transgendered’ behaviour to be recognized as a “right”

 

            In February 2009, the gay, lesbian and bi-sexual (GLB) community in Canada issued a formal complaint against Health Canada and the Public Health Agency of Canada. It claimed that its “human rights” are being denied. This time it claimed not a moral right to equality, but to “equitable levels of programming support based on needs when compared with programming supports for the general population and “other minority populations” [in Canada]. Today, the “GLB” population is not included as a priority population and, therefore, receives no dedicated funding “when addressing those health issues where GLB communities are disproportionately affected.”

 

            The complaints accuse the Canadian government of not actively working to address the unique health wellness issues faced by active homosexuals, issues such as the shortened life expectancy, high rate of suicide, habits of smoking, alcohol and illegal drug use, high rate of depression, HIV/AIDs, cancers, and the prohibition of blood and organ donation. (it is curious that the GLB group want to donate their blood and organs while when they readily admit that their lifestyle makes them sick.)

 

            The grocery list above indicates again that the “gay” community is determined to present behavioural issues as genetic ones, i.e. that they are born that way. In reality, if they abandoned their wretched lifestyle, none of the above health consequences would occur.

 

New bill

 

            In April 2010, Member of Parliament Bill Siksay, (NDP), with support from the Liberal Party, introduced private member’s bill C-389, the Gender Identity and Gender Express Bill, to ensure that “transsexual and transgendered Canadians are included in the Canadian Human Rights Act.” He says that the bill is “long overdue” and claims that “transCanadians” face discrimination daily.

 

            Conservative MP Sylvie Boucher, Parliamentary Secretary for the status of women said that there needs to be a clearer understanding of “gender identity” and “gender expression” before changes can be made. (The Hill Times, 17 May 2010).

 

            The Bill passed Second Reading in the House of Commons without drawing the attention of either the media or the Pro-Life Caucus. It is another example of GLBT’s goal of corrupting morality.

 

Tolerance becomes forced acceptance

 

            It the United States, United Families International is drawing the world’s attention to the fact that “tolerance of the homosexual lifestyle has become forced acceptance.” (Blog of June 9, 2010). Since the inauguration of Barack Obama as President, June has been declared “Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender Pride Month.’ Obama has declared his intention of “strengthening federal protections against crimes based on gender identity.” He supports same-sex marriage and wants to repeal the federal Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA).

 

            This activism is now infiltrating all aspects of U.S. society such as education, health, the media, and even leisure organizations such as the Boy Scouts. In the world of business, the Employment Non-Discrimination Act will require even religious groups to hire “gays” and lesbians, while in the armed services repeal of the “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell” policy will cause problems not just for regular personnel but particularly for military chaplains. Among other groups in danger of closing are Catholic adoption agencies.
