And that’s just for starters.
The travesty that took place this week is common knowledge by now. Activist Leanne Iskander, who’s got more courage in her little finger than most people have in their whole bodies, has been threatened with disciplinary action if she continues her advocacy for gay-straight alliances.
And that’s subsequent to a Wednesday-night meeting of the Toronto District Catholic School Board that apparently set a new low for bigotry, hatred and intolerance. It isn’t enough that the board banned gay-straight alliances – apparently even that didn’t go far enough for some parents, judging from the twitterstream below.
From Justin Beach:
On those occasions when they lost a vote on any of this language the pro-hate supporters in attendance became livid, accusing the Board of being anti-Catholic and “communist”.
You’d think after more than two thousand years, they’d have had enough time to absorb Christ’s message of love and redemption, but no. Apparently it’s just fine with them if LGBT students are ostracized as sinners and bullied into committing suicide, because as homosexuals they’re going to hell anyway.
I wonder where they shop for footwear? I’m no expert, but it seems to me that you can’t wear the shoes of the fisherman when you’ve got a festering pile of hate where your soul is supposed to be.
Just so I understand this: where human rights conflict with denominational rights, it’s the latter than rule, right? So these people are perfectly content to follow the diktats of an authoritarian medieval institution that’s sanctioned torture, genocide and continental plunder. And covered up for and enabled widespread sexual abuse of children for decades.
All these Republican dickheads screaming about the threat of sharia law in the Sewer of StupidTM to the south might want to focus on a threat that’s a little closer to home. Because if this is what Catholic doctrine is all about …
But never mind the Republicans. We’ve got an election in Ontario coming up. Seems to me that the candidates should be pinned down on whether they’re going to keep funding this nonsense with our tax dollars.
