Will You Be Forced To Participate In Homosexual Pride Celebrations?
National Catholic Register ^ | 10/17/10 | Jimmy Akin

Or will your children or grandchildren?

Before you scoff at the possibility, recognize that it has already been happening to people.

The homosexual lobby is relentless and is not seeking tolerance. It is seeking coerced social approval of homosexual behavior.

That includes forcing non-homosexuals to participate in homosexual “pride” celebrations.

It happened right here in San Diego, where four fire fighters men were ordered to participated in the local “San Diego Pride Parade” (notice how even the word “gay” is missing from the name of the event? That’s evidence of what linguists sometimes call the “euphemism treadmill”—where a euphemism for something viewed negatively eventually takes on the negative connotations of what it was originally intended to substitute for; more evidence of that happening regarding the word “gay” here).

Afterwards, they filed suit against the city of San Diego, and eventually they won a jury trial on one of their grounds of complaint (that they were subject to sexual harassment at the parade by the lewdly-behaving homosexual spectators). This was recently upheld by an appeals court judge.

Will You Be Forced To Participate In Homosexual Pride Celebrations?

Big social justice government increasingly subsidizes the homosexual agenda with all manner of revenue streams; e.g. aids awareness, safe sex initiatives, anti bullying campaigns, sex 'education' -blah blah blah... We are via government deceit being forced to participate by having our monies subsidize that which society continues to place no value in...

One thing that isn’t made clear: was the SDFD required to be there by state, county or city law to help provide for people’s safety, or were the firemen forced to be there to support the homo parade (fill out the attendance numbers, etc.)? The linked article said they sued for being harassed at the parade. I didn’t see any mention about being “forced to attend”. A clear distinction needs to be made here. Then again, there’s always calling in “sick” . . . . Would the SDFD force a Jew who lost relatives in the Holocaust be forced to work or participate in a Hitler Pride Parade?

Ultimately, the fecal eaters will have their way with your children too. This happened in ancient Rome and history often repeats.

Good point.

>Will You Be Forced To Participate In Homosexual Pride Celebrations?<

Here’s a few clues...

Massachusetts man fired from corporation over Christian belief in traditional marriage
http://www.massresistance.org/docs/gen/09d/vadala/index.html
____________________________________________________________

At Pioneer High School in Ann Arbor, Michigan, a student was forbidden to offer a traditional viewpoint on homosexuality during a panel addressing “Homosexuality and Religion.” The one-sided “diversity” program, held in 2002, presented homosexuality as normal and healthy.

Apparently the “separation of church and state” argument—usually invoked to prevent religious expression in public places—did not trouble school officials, who invited only pro-homosexual religious leaders to participate....

.....The school also prevented the student from expressing her views against homosexuality during the “Homosexuality and Religion” panel discussion, claiming that the student’s beliefs were a “negative” message that would “water down” the “positive” religious message they wished to convey about homosexuality.6
___________________________________________________________

A long-time volunteer fireman in North Truro, Mass., was dismissed from his position on the Board of Fire Engineers after signing a petition in favor of putting a traditional marriage amendment on the ballot in Massachusetts. Because the petitions are a matter of public record, pro-homosexual groups have resorted to the tactic of posting online the names of every citizen who has signed—in order to invite retaliation against them.....

They were forced to be there but not for protection of anyone. A simple search on google can find the backstory on this. Already in Britian soldiers are required to march in gay pride parades and they recruit actively open homosexuals even though the number of same sex assaults have spiked since open homosexuals were forced into the British military by the EU. Also British soldiers have received the single largest number of compliants of forcible sodomy of civilians and abuse of children of any nation in Iraq and Afghanistan.

None of this of course will make the news. Its true though and I suppose it is hateful to point it out.
