The homosexual pride parade totally contradicts the beliefs of the Catholic Church about marriage & human sexualty. It celebrates gay sex and promotes the homosexual lifestyle as normal, natural, healthy and perfectly moral. The parade includes mock sex acts, sexual bondage and sadomasochism. It is a scandal for any Catholic to be seen supporting it, much less Catholic teachers who work as agents of the Church.

Gay-straight alliance clubs (GSAs) are a type of gay pride club under the clever guise of being an "anti-bullying support group." GSAs typically work within schools to normalize romantic homosexual relations, homosexual 'marriage' and generally, to undermine biblical teaching about human sexuality. No legitimate Catholic can be faithful to their religion and also endorse or accept these gay pride clubs within the walls of a Catholic institution. This motion by Trustee Tanuan sought to reject the anti-Catholic gay pride clubs mandated by the Liberal government's Bill 13, and instead, adopt the wonderful anti-bullying framework that was written by Ontario's Catholic Bishops. That anti-bullying framework was called Respecting Difference.

This fool-hardy policy would signal to young girls that it's ok to engage in premarital sex, and in fact, that it's expected of them. Besides the moral problems posed, the vaccine itself may be life-threatening. At the time this issue came up in schools across Ontario, the HPV vaccine known as Gardasil had already been linked to 11 deaths of young women and hundreds of hospitalizations in the United States in the first year of its availability. Therefore, an HPV vaccination policy in a Catholic school, serves not only to give licence to sexual promiscuity, but also endangers the lives of female children. It gives them a potentially deadly chemical substance, and a false sense of security that "it's 'safe' to have sex, because I'm 'protected' ". The HPV vaccine is not even close to a guaranteed prevention and actually "protects" against just a small percentage of HPV strains. The only policy that can result in 100% protection against HPV, is abstinence before marriage and fidelity within marriage. That's what Catholic schools should be teaching, rather than promoting false security blankets that encourage risky behaviour. [Oct 2007]

The Golden Compass was written by the God-hating atheist, Phillip Pulman, who admitted to the Washington Post in 2001 that, with his books: "I'm trying to undermine the basis of Christian belief", and in 2003 that "My books are about killing God." [Dec 2007]
