Some ‘religious’ people will undoubtedly find this teaching from Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez hard to accept.

Dead Wild Roses: Queer Theory – More Ideological Than Truthful – Ben Appel
Many homosexual males are waking up to the fact that Queer Theory enables homophobia under a faux-progressive patina. “Soon, I learned about nonbinary identities, and that some people – many people – were literally arguing that sex, not gender, was a social construct. I met people who evangelised a denomination

Perhaps it is because I experienced a small amount of peer-bullying as a student. Perhaps it is because I experienced a large amount of both physical and psychological abuse from my teachers, as did many of my fellow students. It was, after all, the Catholic school system, where mistreatment was

I generally abide by a pretty simple philosophy: don’t bother other people. By that, I don’t mean we should not be involved in other people’s lives in a positive way; I simply mean that we should not feel compelled to share opinions that serve no constructive purpose. For example, if

Continue readingMontreal Simon: The Humbling of the Religious Fanatic Andrew Scheer
Andrew Scheer is looking a lot more humble than he was just two days ago, when he described his humiliating loss as a " first step" to victory.And said he couldn't wait to go after Justin Trudeau again. Now the sounds of sharpening knives seem to have tempered his wild enthusiasm.But

As you know, I have been trying for months to get the MSM to write about the relationship between Andrew Scheer and the former Alliance MP Larry Spencer, a man so homophobic he wanted to jail gay people.I wrote one post after the other, I tweeted again and again. But nobody believed

I can only imagine how desperate Andrew Scheer must have been to think he could solve his big bigot problem, with a hastily arranged late night scrum in a plane heading for British Columbia.But you can see the desperation in his eyes.And not surprisingly the hasty scrum didn't work out well.In

I've tried hard to explain why I find Andrew Scheer's religious homophobia so deeply disturbing. I think it's important to do that because it explains so many things about Scheer, including his diseased hatred for Justin Trudeau.But it's not easy to portray something that ugly.Scheer knows how to hide his

It's called "conversion therapy" It's a pseudo scientific practice that uses high pressure psychological techniques to try to turn gay people into straight ones.Some call it "pray away the gay" because of the many religious fanatics who spend their time trying to "save" LGBT people from themselves.But in most cases what it

With the revelation United Conservative Party candidate Mark Smith holds the offensive view gay love can never be real love, and equates LGBTQ people with pedophiles, it appeared that Alberta’s United Conservative Party was finally having its own genuine Lake of Fire moment. But was it? It certainly looked like
