Christian bus driver says he’ll quit if he has to drive Calgary’s Pride-themed rainbow bus

CALGARY — A Calgary man says he will quit his job if he’s assigned to drive a bus wrapped in a rainbow flag.

The annual Calgary Pride Festival kicks off Friday and, as a show of support, a Calgary Transit bus has been wrapped in the symbol of inclusiveness.

The rainbow flag bus will operate through Sept. 7, the day of the parade.

Jesse Rau, who has worked for Calgary Transit as a driver for about a year, says he’s a Christian and can’t support homosexuality.

Rau hopes Calgary Transit and the Amalgamated Transit Union will support drivers who don’t want to drive the rainbow bus.

Doug Morgan, director of Calgary Transit, says drivers can only refuse to work based on safety issues.

He’ll be okay as long as he makes sure all of his shots are up to date.

Why make a prior statement? Just call in sick. He’s asking to be assigned to drive.

Spend the day swerving the bus from one side of the road to the other. When anyone complains, tell them that it’s homophobic to ask the bus to go straight.

To get attention.

That’s funny.

Way way back in the day we were driving and came to a stop. Driver says which way, turn or go straight?

Humboldt lesbian in the car mutters “don’t ever go straight”.

Homosexuals are disrupters of society. This driver demonstrates his distaste with the direction our politicians are taking in regard to rampant, in-you-face perversion.

There is no ‘right’ to block public streets and use public money to allow perverts to show their private parts in public.

Any police officer who watches one of these parades and doesn’t arrest dozens for public indecency, and register the entire lot as sex offenders should be fired immediately for dereliction of duty. What they do during their parades are far more damaging that what some people are charged with, and sent to jail.

Those who still possess functioning brains realize that homosexuality is a self-inflicted illness that many times results in early death and insantity. Furthermore, if this is the new ‘normal’ then God help humanity most of the horrendous serial murders are committed by homosexuals.

God knows all about the pride parade:

“The fear of the Lord is to hate evil; Pride and arrogance and the evil way and the perverse mouth I hate.”
Proverbs 8:13

Proverbs, chapter 16, verse 18:
“Pride goes before destruction,
and a haughty spirit before a fall.”

Proverbs 8:13

“In his pride the wicked does not seek him;
in all his thoughts there is no room for God.” Psalm 10:4

Yes. Thank God they seem to have only done that on the east coast so far. In California, our little beach towns are still rather normal. I guess they are happy in the Castro district in San Fran.

He will be lucky if he escapes "hate crime" prosecution. Canada is nuts.

the symbol of inclusiveness

There's probably no issue more DIVISIVE than legitimizing homosexuality.

And if I recall my Scriptures correctly, the rainbow was a symbol of something else entirely a long, long time ago.

Churches should make a Bible flag, with the rainbow’s 7 colors. Maybe homosexuals thought if they didn’t make an actual rainbow flag, G-d wouldn’t be angry. Either that, or they’re representing 666.

The newspaper is calling the homosexual flag a “symbol of inclusiveness? How do the homosexuals get the media on their degenerate side?
