In January of last year, I appeared on Global Television talking about the blatant conflict of interest arising from the recent election of 21-year old Paul Marai, given that he was also an openly gay, homosexual activist, and his newly appointed Catholic School Board Trustee position. A few seconds (literally) after the interview was shown, I received an e-mail via Facebook entitled “F*%&$ Yourself”.
“Gain some rationality”, the author said. “You’re embarassing (yes, he spelled it that way) your intellect on TV. Learn a thing or two in school before you call homosexuality a disorder. You’re officially the joke of the public”.
Now, some of you might ask yourselves why I, a pro-life activist, would want to stray from my mandate to make abortion unthinkable, to take on homosexual activists. Scratch that: I know some of you are asking yourselves this question, because I ask myself that every time I receive such charming love letters such as the one written above.
The answer is simple. There is a link, an integral link, between the homosexual and abortion camps. Shocker, I know. It’s one that is deeply rooted, and as a 24-year old growing up in the era of Glee, Modern Family and Lady Gaga (to name a few), it must be addressed. So…who better than the girl whose job requires conflict on a regular basis?
It’s no coincidence that at this year’s National March for Life in Ottawa, the award for most-“ingenious” sign went to a pair of lesbians, who were ostentatiously showing “affection” holding two different card-board cutouts, one that said “I LOVE SEX” and the other, “I HATE LIFE”. Needless to say they were not there for the speeches. While the intention of this couple was clear, and their execution decidedly pedestrian, it was the actual content of their message that spoke volumes not only for them personally, but for the climate of the opposition.
Practically speaking, the pro-abortion and homosexual camps have far more in common than the multi-coloured condoms they shell out to whoever happens to be caught unaware. It is a well-known fact that the homosexual movement has a record of being staunchly pro-abortion. This includes very close social and political ties with pro-abortion powerhouses, including Planned Parenthood, which often includes financial support as well. It’s no coincidence that many pro-abortion activists advertise their solidarity with gay- friendly groups in an even more overtly public fashion.

For example, we are all familiar with those charming ditties that pro-lifers are often faced with at various events and rallies, including the very inclusive, “Gay, straight, black, white! All unite for women’s rights!” And who could forget the chart-topping hit, “anti-woman, anti-gay, right-wing bigots go away”! While these heartwarming toe-tappers sound fairly tame, they, like our sign-toting sideliners at the March for Life, demonstrate the familial relationship between the two groups.
The question is, why?
An essential component of being pro-life is an openness to life. On an ideological level, homosexuality tends towards being individualistic; in a practical sense, profoundly sterile. Homosexuality uses sex as an instrument for self-gratifying pleasure, and cannot physically be used in the unitive and procreative way it was intended. When couples “mutually masturbate” for their own intensive desire, the procreative element is eliminated, thus becoming an inescapable rejection of life. With the rejection of life, easily comes the destruction of life, making it impossible to negate one without the other. Both camps strive for the acceptance of sex without consequence, thus aligning themselves with like-minded individuals. It’s a match made in heaven.
What is truly ironic is that those individuals militantly pushing for acceptance under the guise of “human rights”, have denied those same rights to the ones who need it the most: the unborn. It does not follow that a pro-lifer should celebrate “pride”, when that so-called “pride” is rooted in the erosion of the family and extermination of the unborn.
Now, I may have to learn a thing or two in school (such as exact and heuristic algorithms, Spectroscopy, astrophysics and quantum theory to name a few) however, the undeniable link between homosexuality and abortion: now that is something I’ve got in the bag.
Yes...they are gay men.
Yep
There were millions of anti-Nazis in Germany during WWII, or so they claimed later. Just like there are millions of moderate moslems who disapprove of jihad. For now.
Great post.
But, there is another important thing that should be pointed out about Genesis chapter 9 in this context.
Not only is the rainbow the sign of God’s promise not to judge the entire earth again with a flood, it is connected with the imperative command that God gave to mankind to defend innocent human life and to multiply in the earth.
Whether you’re talking about abortion or homosexuality, especially the open “proud” kind, you’re talking about people who have become so calloused as to flaunt their rebellion openly in the face of God and the world, and to violently reject the LORD’S best gifts.
Genesis 9
5 Surely for your lifeblood I will demand a reckoning; from the hand of every beast I will require it, and from the hand of man. From the hand of every man’s brother I will require the life of man.
6 “ Whoever sheds man’s blood,
By man his blood shall be shed;
For in the image of God
He made man.
7 And as for you, be fruitful and multiply;
Bring forth abundantly in the earth
And multiply in it.”
8 Then God spoke to Noah and to his sons with him, saying: 9 “And as for Me, behold, I establish My covenant with you and with your descendants[b] after you, 10 and with every living creature that is with you: the birds, the cattle, and every beast of the earth with you, of all that go out of the ark, every beast of the earth. 11 Thus I establish My covenant with you: Never again shall all flesh be cut off by the waters of the flood; never again shall there be a flood to destroy the earth.”
12 And God said: “This is the sign of the covenant which I make between Me and you, and every living creature that is with you, for perpetual generations: 13 I set My rainbow in the cloud, and it shall be for the sign of the covenant between Me and the earth. 14 It shall be, when I bring a cloud over the earth, that the rainbow shall be seen in the cloud; 15 and I will remember My covenant which is between Me and you and every living creature of all flesh; the waters shall never again become a flood to destroy all flesh. 16 The rainbow shall be in the cloud, and I will look on it to remember the everlasting covenant between God and every living creature of all flesh that is on the earth.” 17 And God said to Noah, “This is the sign of the covenant which I have established between Me and all flesh that is on the earth.”
Don’t disregard the possibility that people you detest may agree with you on something.
You're right. For thousands of years, mankind has thought it can "get away" with defying God.
The rise of homosexuality is a definite sign of the wickedness of a culture and a people.
I couldn't have homosexual friends then, because I refuse to use the descriptive "gay" concerning them. "Homosexual" is as mild as I get.
In one regard, the answer is that there aren't two camps.
Feminism, the standard bearer for abortion, is a major branch, if not the very trunk of the gay rights movement.
It may have been at some distant past that women were led into NOW in search of equality or whatever but long since, this has increasingly revealed itself as a hive of lesbians and homosexualists.
“There is a link, an integral link, between the homosexual and abortion camps.”
This is absolutely true. If you go to pro-abortion rallies, they are often filled with lesbians seething with hate for life. Many may take umbridge to that description, but I’ve seen them, and it’s true. I had a friend who actually had her baby stroller pushed over by a few dykes at a protest because she was carrying a pro-life.
I also know a young girl who took a part time job at PP, and is now a transgender. I don’t know which came first, the chicken or the egg, but I’ve noticed the connection.
I had a group of gay friends before I moved up here with my hubby. What I loved about them was that they detested flamers as much as I did. They were nice men who didn’t push an agenda, nor made a big deal out of who they slept with. Just like me. None of us cared for PDA and we all liked it that way. Yes, these guys WERE Pro-life and were willing to stand up for it.
Now my sister and her pals were feminist, loud and in your face. Textbook D*kes. My sister thinks herself to be a lipstick lez but is really just an old lib who can’t get another man after her two husbands and four kids. When she told me that she “has a right to choose” I told her...
“You’ve had a hysterectomy and sleep with a woman. What are you choosing?”
It shut her up.
Because a nihilist is a nihilist is a nihilist.
Note my handle. I live on Manhattan Island. I use the local lingo.

Good point. Feminism, homosexualism and pro-abortion thought are inextricably linked. They’re all about thwarting and denying the use of the procreative urges God has given to humans to prevent more people who could become Christians and spend eternity with Him from ever being born.
Could be front page news:
Romans 1
1 Paul, a bondservant of Jesus Christ, called to be an apostle, separated to the gospel of God 2 which He promised before through His prophets in the Holy Scriptures, 3 concerning His Son Jesus Christ our Lord, who was born of the seed of David according to the flesh, 4 and declared to be the Son of God with power according to the Spirit of holiness, by the resurrection from the dead. 5 Through Him we have received grace and apostleship for obedience to the faith among all nations for His name, 6 among whom you also are the called of Jesus Christ;
7 To all who are in Rome, beloved of God, called to be saints:
Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
8 First, I thank my God through Jesus Christ for you all, that your faith is spoken of throughout the whole world. 9 For God is my witness, whom I serve with my spirit in the gospel of His Son, that without ceasing I make mention of you always in my prayers, 10 making request if, by some means, now at last I may find a way in the will of God to come to you. 11 For I long to see you, that I may impart to you some spiritual gift, so that you may be established— 12 that is, that I may be encouraged together with you by the mutual faith both of you and me.
13 Now I do not want you to be unaware, brethren, that I often planned to come to you (but was hindered until now), that I might have some fruit among you also, just as among the other Gentiles. 14 I am a debtor both to Greeks and to barbarians, both to wise and to unwise. 15 So, as much as is in me, I am ready to preach the gospel to you who are in Rome also.
16 For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ, for it is the power of God to salvation for everyone who believes, for the Jew first and also for the Greek. 17 For in it the righteousness of God is revealed from faith to faith; as it is written, “The just shall live by faith.”
18 For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who suppress the truth in unrighteousness, 19 because what may be known of God is manifest in them, for God has shown it to them. 20 For since the creation of the world His invisible attributes are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even His eternal power and Godhead, so that they are without excuse, 21 because, although they knew God, they did not glorify Him as God, nor were thankful, but became futile in their thoughts, and their foolish hearts were darkened. 22 Professing to be wise, they became fools, 23 and changed the glory of the incorruptible God into an image made like corruptible man—and birds and four-footed animals and creeping things.
24 Therefore God also gave them up to uncleanness, in the lusts of their hearts, to dishonor their bodies among themselves, 25 who exchanged the truth of God for the lie, and worshiped and served the creature rather than the Creator, who is blessed forever. Amen.
26 For this reason God gave them up to vile passions. For even their women exchanged the natural use for what is against nature. 27 Likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust for one another, men with men committing what is shameful, and receiving in themselves the penalty of their error which was due.
28 And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a debased mind, to do those things which are not fitting; 29 being filled with all unrighteousness, sexual immorality, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, strife, deceit, evil-mindedness; they are whisperers, 30 backbiters, haters of God, violent, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents, 31 undiscerning, untrustworthy, unloving, unforgiving, unmerciful; 32 who, knowing the righteous judgment of God, that those who practice such things are deserving of death, not only do the same but also approve of those who practice them.
There is a PBS Frontline episode on the roots of the Women’s Rights movement. They concluded that it was actually the start of the Gay Rights movement.
Truth!
That’s an accurate conclusion. Feminism, homosexualism and pro-abortionism all see it as “unfair” the God created mankind as male and female per Genesis 1:27 and reaffirmed by Christ in Matthew 19:4 and Mark 10:6. This “injustice” has to be “repaired” in their mind by obliterating all male and female distinctiveness.
