EDMONTON, Alberta, June 4, 2012 (LifeSiteNews.com) - In what organizers of this year’s Edmonton homosexual festival are calling a “milestone,” Alberta Premier Alison Redford announced over the weekend that she has accepted the group’s invitation to participate in the city’s “gay pride” festival next Saturday, something that event organizers say no other Alberta premier has done before.

“This is a huge milestone for us,” Colleen Sutherland, co-chair of the Edmonton Pride Festival Society, told CTV Edmonton.

“It’s saying to us that we are being accepted by the government. It’s saying to us that the gay, lesbian and transgendered community is just as important as any other community and no different than any other walk of life so we’re very honoured to have her there.”

“I think that it shows that everybody is accepted across the province and it emphasizes the Edmonton (public) school board taking on the new sexual orientation and gender identity policy,” Sutherland added.

Trustees from the Edmonton Public School Board will lead this year’s homosexual parade as honorary marshals, according to event organizers.

Trustee Sarah Hoffman told the CBC, “We ‘re thrilled. We’re very honoured,” to ride in convertibles in the parade wearing t-shirts bearing the message “Pride in Education.”

Warren Becker, second co-chair of the Pride Festival society, told the Edmonton Journal, “We’ve invited all political parties to attend and we’ve never really had a good representation of the PC party at any Pride event in our history. … It means full recognition of our status in Alberta.”

Premier Redford’s press secretary, Kim Misik, said Redford was “thrilled to be invited,” and will make opening remarks in front of City Hall when the homosexual parade reaches Sir Winston Churchill Square. “She’s [Redford] always said that politics are finally catching up to who we are as Albertans and this is just life,” Misik said.

Event organizers said earlier that MLA’s representing every political party except the Wildrose party had confirmed their attendance at the festival.

However, the Edmonton Sun reported this morning that Wildrose director of communications Brock Harrison confirmed that party leader Danielle Smith would be attending events at the homosexual festival.

The Edmonton Sun reports that almost three quarters of respondents to an online Sun poll that asked, “Are you pleased to see Premier Alison Redford taking part in a gay pride festival?” answered “No.”

Looks like Alberta Premier Alison Deadford and that phony Dead Rose party leader Danielle Smith are like most of today's gutless, immoral, weak leaders who endorse the filthy disease ridden, libidinous,impudent & impertinent dogs who are worst of all proud their sins against a Holy and righteous God.

For dogs have compassed me,.... By whom are meant wicked men, as the following clause shows; and so the Chaldee paraphrase renders it, "the wicked who are like to many dogs"; and to these such are often compared in Scripture,Give not that which is holy to the dogs,.... Matt 7:6 Give not that which is holy unto the dogs, neither cast ye your pearls before swine, lest they trample them under their feet, and turn again and rend you.Dogs were unclean creatures by the law; the price of one might not be brought into the house of the Lord, for a vow, Deuteronomy 23:18 Thou shalt not bring the hire of a whore, or the price of a dog, into the house of the LORD thy God for any vow: for even both these are abomination unto the LORD thy God. (reference John Gill Biblos.com)
Php 3: 2 Beware of dogs, beware of evil workers, beware of the concision.

Jer 6:15 Were they ashamed when they had committed abomination? nay, they were not at all ashamed, neither could they blush: therefore they shall fall among them that fall: at the time that I visit them they shall be cast down, saith the LORD.

Further these spineless politicians have forgotten Luke 17:32 Remember Lot's wife.
Lot's wife-her "look back," for that is all that is said of her, and her recorded doom. Her heart was in Sodom still, and the "look" just said, "And must I bid it adieu?"(Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Bible Commentary Biblos.com)

Our Lord Jesus Christ didn't' die for dogs,hogs,or goats but for His sheep. Rev 22:15 For without are dogs, and sorcerers, and whoremongers, and murderers, and idolaters, and whosoever loveth and maketh a lie.

Hmmm, wonder if Redford will come down as hard on these imams, as she did on the Christian Pastor who warned of eternal damnation for homosexuals???? thinking2

Breakenridge: Acceptance of homosexuality is far from universal

Alison Redford has already made history as Alberta’s first female premier, and later this week, she will make history once again.

On Saturday, Redford will become the first Alberta premier to appear at the Edmonton Gay Pride Parade. She is set to make the opening statements at the celebration directly following the parade.

Colleen Sutherland, co-chair of the Edmonton Pride Festival Society, describes Redford’s appearance as “quite significant.”

With regard to anti-gay comments by Wildrose Party candidate Allan Hunsperger, which surfaced during the recent provincial election, Sutherland says Redford’s appearance takes a stand against such sentiments.

Hunsperger, of course, wrote on his website about homosexuals spending eternity in a “lake of fire.”

Clearly, such views were highly disturbing to a great many Albertans, and no doubt badly damaged the prospects of the Wildrose Party.

As ugly as Hunsperger’s comments were, later this month a Calgary audience will hear from a man who believes homosexuality is worthy of the most severe of penalties: execution.

Dr. Bilal Philips is a Jamaican-born, Canadian-raised convert to Islam who now resides in Qatar. He is billed as a leading Islamic scholar, and is read and watched by Muslims around the world.

Philips is the main speaker at an event organized by the Muslim Council of Calgary called The Power of Unity Conference, which is billed as a “celebration of Islam in a Multi-Cultural Canada.”

For as much as eternal damnation for gays seems to be the extent of Hunsperger’s views, for Philips, that’s the least of it.

Philips describes homosexuality as “evil and dangerous,” and believes that AIDS represents divine punishment for gays.

But Philips is not content to leave the punishment of gays to the afterlife. He is firmly of the belief that the Qur’an mandates the death penalty for practising homosexuals (not lesbians, mind you — their punishment is “only” lashes).

It’s a belief that got Philips expelled from Germany last year, but the folks at the Muslim Council of Calgary have no such qualms.

This is no fringe organization, either. The council describes itself as the “main umbrella” and the “official representatives” of Sunni Muslims in Calgary.

That’s not to suggest that the council speaks for every single Muslim in the city; quite the opposite, I’m sure.

That was clear last September when Calgary’s first Muslim mayor, Naheed Nenshi, became the first mayor to lead the city’s annual gay pride parade.

No one for a moment would suggest that Nenshi is in anyway sympathetic to the views of Philips, so should he be expected to condemn Philips’ appearance in Calgary? I think it would send a strong message.

Keep in mind, though, that the mayor saw fit to speak out about Hunsperger’s views.

And what about the premier herself — the very same premier who will be taking a strong stand against homophobia this weekend?

Last year, when Philips spoke at a conference in Toronto, politicians of all stripes condemned his beliefs. In fact, the gay rights group EGALE and a Toronto MPP both filed complaints with police.

I wouldn’t advocate involving the police; Philips should have the right to be an Islamic extremist and a virulent bigot. However, I would hope to see a powerful condemnation of not only his views, but his very presence in our city.

By basing his views in religion, Philips — and those who embrace him as a figure of authority — sends the message that Muslims are intrinsically and fundamentally opposed to even tolerance for homosexuals, never mind equality.

It’s also worth noting that Philips is not the only speaker at this event who should concern us. Also on the agenda is Dr. Hatem Alhaj, who was recently dismissed from his job at the Mayo Clinic over his controversial support for female genital mutilation.

British MP George Galloway, a notorious apologist for the Syrian and Iranian regimes — as well as terrorist groups like Hamas and Hezbollah — is slated to speak, too.

How tragically ironic that an event billed as a celebration of unity and multiculturalism would so brazenly demean and desecrate those very concepts.

Why would a politician, who in addition to being Godless, is also fiscally irresponsible, renew your faith in government by marching in a parade full of bare bummed homosexuals? thinking2

Isn't it more awesome to renew your faith in God rather than embracing this act of travesty?

You are a smart, well-educated ignoramus; you are a fool; Psalm 14:1 The fool hath said in his heart, There is no God. They are corrupt, they have done abominable works, there is none that doeth good.

You have hitherto spent your life and invested all your energies in trivia.
"Wherefore do you spend your resources for that which does not nourish your soul? And your labour for that which satisfieth not?" (Isaiah 55:2) Here the prophet puts a rhetorical question which may be fairly paraphrased as follows: Why are you wasting your life on non essentials? Why are you living your life as a horse or a mule? Psalm 32:9. Or as some other dumb brute beast? 2 Peter 2:12.

The years are going by very rapidly and you are still dumb on these three subjects. What in God’s name are you doing with your time on this earth? Listen to this further rhetorical question by Jesus Christ himself: "What shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul?" Mark 8:36. And this redundant rhetorical question in close proximity: "What shall a man give in exchange for his soul?" That is, exactly what price tag have you hung on your never-dying soul, brother? Mark 8:37. Judging by your conduct of studied, wilful ignorance respecting the weighty issues of divine truth, you place a very small price on your soul indeed. Peter calls it, "a willing ignorance." 2 Peter 3:5. "For this they willingly are ignorant of … the word of God." willingly ignorant of the mighty doctrines of the absolute sovereignty of God;

And, all the while, your lives are messed up with gross filth in the form of sodomy, adultery and fornication; virtually all of you fine, educated, smart citizens are either sodomites, adulterers, or fornicators. And many, if not most of you, are all three. You are busily seeking relief from your messed up lives from your voodoo witch doctors; pervert psychiatrists; wiseacre social engineers, and lying, greedy effeminate political and governmental leaders that currently rule in perfidy over your affairs.


"O my people, they which lead thee cause thee to err, and destroy the way of thy paths." Isaiah 3:12. "As for my people, infants and perverts rule over them." Isaiah 3:12. Here in this passage of scripture is the word translated "children" or "infants." And the second is "women." By these two words as tropes the dominant qualities, characteristics or attributes of these leaders are described. The first, "infants," stands for ignorance and weakness. A new-born human infant is of all intelligent organisms the most ignorant and the most weak. A more miserable bunch of ignorant, weak, spineless individuals never existed at any one time in any one place in recorded history in all probability. The second of the two tropes in this passage of scripture is translated, "women;" meaning, in the original, effeminate or morally perverted. Thus these leaders of the people are powerfully described as being supremely effeminate and morally perverse. It is a word associated in scripture with sodomy and idolatrous religious systems

Thus, these leaders of the people are powerfully described as being supremely ignorant on all important matters, and supremely weak or spineless intellectually, morally and spiritually. A most accurate description of the political, governmental and religious leaders today. They are, one and all, and without apparent exception, truly ignorant and truly weak people.
They are truly ignorant of God and His word and of all important matters however educated they may boast themselves to be; and they are truly weak and spineless when it comes to personal and public morals and when it comes to spiritual principles. Just look at these spineless, immoral wonders who presently hold political and governmental positions in this world. From Presidents to Prime Ministers, Legislative bodies, the judges at every level from the Hague down to
the smallest Municipal Judge and Municipal Officeholders.

These weak, effeminate sexual perverts, who sit as leaders and judges and bribe-taking politicians in this evil place have well-nigh closed the doors of our courts to the poor. And this is a situation everywhere described in the scriptures as being a certain sign of great apostasy and approaching doom for any people. Hear the word of the LORD, ye rulers of Sodom: "Thou shalt not wrest the judgment of the poor in his cause." (Exodus 23:6.)
