"Gay Day" Ruined Our Day at Cedar Point

[masondoggy]

I cannot believe Catholics are trying to defend Gay Pride Day. Can nothing be objectively wrong any more?

Anyway, here’s the best I’ve got for a watchdog group: American Family Association. They miss a lot though, but occasionally report on gays. And I guess the alternative is going to the gay websites themselves… just kidding

I’m almost afraid to start checking out gay websites, lol…

Correct me if I’m wrong, but I do believe that the OP attended with their spouse, not their children. That would be an entirerly different situation had children been present.

Yes, by chance (maybe not) we left the kids at home. My mom says that was God’s plan because normally we would’ve had them with us but we just made up our mind we were finally going to get that long overdue “get-away” in. If our kids had been with us, we would have been furious. Especially if one of them would’ve started asking questions…“why are those men holding hands?”

Perhaps some other group will plan a “Straight Day” at Cedar Point, or maybe a “Cohabitation Day” or “Adulterers Day” or “Fornication Day.”

LOL, that made me laugh!

Let’s plan a CATHOLIC DAY! But we have to be obvious about it…have t-shirts printed up with a picture of the Eucharist…everybody wear your crucifix and Miraculous Medals…we’ll walk around in big groups carrying a cross and singing hymns. In fact, I think the perfect day for such an event would be next FATHER’S DAY.

Magikman, maybe now your words will have some teeth!

"The rules of society give equal rights to straights, gays, Catholics, Protestants, blacks and whites. The toleration of differences is essential to a peaceful civil society."

          We now have an official presidential proclamation giving legitimacy to others' lifestyles and equal rights. Your wish for a 'peaceful civil society' may now come true.

The White House Office of the Press Secretary For Immediate Release
May 28, 2010
Presidential Proclamation–Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender Pride Month
“As Americans, it is our birthright that all people are created equal and deserve the same rights, privileges, and opportunities. Since our earliest days of independence, our Nation has striven to fulfill that promise. An important chapter in our great, unfinished story is the movement for fairness and equality on behalf of the lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) community. This month, as we recognize the immeasurable contributions of LGBT Americans, we renew our commitment to the struggle for equal rights for LGBT Americans and to ending prejudice and injustice wherever it exists…more @:.”

In line with the present agenda, can we in the near future look forward to other freedoms leading to peace such as - just by adding a few more letters like BST, PD and PLG for bestiality, pedophilia and polygamy. LGBTBSTPDPLG. But thats a lot to swallow; perhaps a separate category would be more appropriate like BSTPDPLG. Time will tell if this will make us all more sensitive’, global and tolerant. But aren’t those qualities already built into the teachings of Jesus and the Catholic Church?

For those in the New York area, you may wish to march for “peace” by attending the June 27 march. There will be a few Catholics in the crowd (only if they are sinfully being disobedient to their Bishop).

June 14, 2010 - St. Francis Xavier parish in New York City is defying Archbishop Dolan’s request and planning to participate in the “Pride March” scheduled for Sunday, June 27.

According to informed sources, New York Archbishop Timothy Dolan, wrote Father Joe Costantino, SJ, the Pastor of St. Francis, to say he would not like to see any group participate in the Pride March under the parish banner. In spite of this directive from the Archbishop the LGBT ministries and their family and friends hand out brochures about the Church of St. Francis Xavier encouraging participation in the event. The text of this brochure appears below:
NYC’s 41st Annual LGBT Pride March
Sunday, June 27, 2010
The Church of St. Francis Xavier is the only Roman Catholic Church in New York City—maybe one of a handful in the world—to participate in the Pride March. We welcome all, as did Jesus. So we ask you to consider walking with the LGBT ministries on Pride Sunday, June 27, and represent a church that truly lives the Gospel. Many of us will attend the 9:00 am or 11:30 am Mass and then head uptown to where the group will meet [location to be determined on June 21]… (cont)

I want the word “gay” returned to its original meaning of being happy, joyful and carefree! We should call the type of thing the op described “homosexual activist days” or something like that. And yeah, it would be nice if we knew in advance about “homosexual activist” days so we could make alternative plans rather than exposing our young children to alternative lifestyles.

YES! To the tenth power.

It’s not an ‘alternative lifestyle’ either. It’s parading and glorifying sin. Alternative lifestyles: hermit, religious, charming eccentric, farmer, so on…

Grrrrr…!! I know what you mean. Nothing asnnoys me more than when kids start asking questions and stuff! I have a nephew and he’s always asking questions, it’s so tiresome.

It’s not good for kids to see different people and stuff. If I’m ever lucky enough to get married and have kids, I’m going to make sure our kids are only around brown people like us. Otherwise they’ll start asking all sorts of questions about black people, white people, chinese people and I want to avoid all that stuff.

It’s best if we Catholics just kep to our own…well, I guess I mean by colour.

Your sarcasm is not the least bit funny. I’m not concerned about my kids being around black people, I’m concerned about blatant MORTAL SIN SHOVED IN THEIR FACES ON A FAMILY OUTING.

This IS a Catholic forum. Did you forget?

 

[larkin31]

Not blaming Obama on this one. I’m laying blame precisely where it belongs: Satan.

Well, God made Satan and permits him his domain.

So blame God. The buck stops there.

 

[larkin31]

I see that this is one of the angrier anti-gay threads at CA.

Awesome.

God forbid that a gay couple touch each other in public in front of children. It’s been ruining children for generations! I know it ruined me!

Grow up and debate like an adult, no a college student who’s watched too many spoof movies.

Personally, kids grow up watching and being taught that boy meets girl, they fall in love and get married and kiss. To see otherwise DOES shock them. Personally I think it is also rude for people of opposite sex to give more than a hug and a peck in public. I have already had to distract my dd from seeing two women making out in a parking lot off of a busy street. She also has asked very loudly if certain people were a man or woman based on their hair and how they talk and act. She’s 5 and has been able to pick up on these differences since she was about 3. I obviously answer her in a way that is understandable to her. I also have homosexuals in my family. They are respectful enough to refrain from pda infront of children. That is all many families are asking for, just refrain from pda. I feel the same about opposite sex couples.

Then again, I’m that annoying parent who corrects people in public who think swearing infront of children is cool or appropriate.

We think alike. I like applying the term “alternative lifestyle” to my large family sometimes. I hope to open the eyes of people who embrace “political correctness” and who think they are are being “oh-so-very-open-minded” while they simultaneously accept rude comments and judgements about the sexual reproductive choices of people with lots of children.

Morality: an alternative lifestyle to sin.

Gay organizations and the media (many of whom are gay) are out to push the Gay ajenda and make it normal. All things gay have been politically correct for many years…according to most of society. Practically every movie is gay friendly if not the gay issue is just not mentioned. I have had gay friends and I don’t really care what people do in their own private lives but that doesn’t mean I want to see it either.

If you don’t care, then why do you care that there might be a gay in a film? If you accept that gays do exist, and you accept gay friends, gay co workers, gay relatives, gay children (etc), then why would you insist that their affection be hidden?

The thing is, that generation by generation it HAS been “ruining the children” in the sense that something so perverted (homosexual sex) has become not only tolerated but celebrated (celebrated!) as brave and loving. It is not “brave and loving” to give in to SSA. It is cowardly and destroys the charity of God in the sinners soul. As is/does all grave sin.

A larger and larger majority of people across the entire WORLD have now been convinced that a timeless, eternal Truth is wrong, and that a demonic, soul killing activity is right. How is this NOT ruining our (speaking broadly here) children?? But in order to see things this way, you must first believe in the reality of heaven/hell, and also that we are created with immortal souls. If this life is all we have and all is darkness and non-existence hereafter, then why not give in to anything that feels good.

Allowing gays equal civil rights does not make me gay or sin more. It makes me more just.

The very thing that you revile is simply a matter of justice on earth.

When religion comes in conflict with justice, justice should win. Only in the sad times of history has religion won over justice. We regret those times. Always.

I agree.

This thread is not about racism and no one here has even mentioned it. Jumping from sexual sin to race is absurd and meaningless. You might as well have switched to a topic like mathmatics for all the sense you make.

If one reads Caritas in Veritate you will see that the too can not come into conflict.

FYI - I do not accept that gay children exists. That is a conjecture. I do accept that alcoholism exists, that murder exists, that prostitution exists. I know this and do not want my child exposed to it.

I classify homosexual sin with other perverted sex acts. I do not want exposure to such things and will fight viciously to protect my child from such sickness. The only heterosexual equivalent is adultery, which is not visible unless the people are known already. Yes, I am just a vehemenent about that being banned in my house.

That dog don’t hunt. If you were really so wrapped around the axle about seeing mortal sin on a family outing then you would react the same way to seeing a Protestant Church group “flaunting” themselves in the park as some other poster indicated.

Or a how about a gathering of IVF families like this: thisisnottingham.co.uk/news/Miracle-families-celebrate-25-years-IVF-Nottingham/article-2282649-detail/article.html

The fact that you’re not against these groups tells me all I need to know about what’s really bothering you.

So you think it’s okay to let your children be exposed to two women sticking facial parts down each others throats infront of children (or two men, or a man and a woman)?

The way you characterize the behavior “sticking facial parts down each others throats” reveals such a level of hatred and vitriol that simply takes my breath away. What have these poor people ever done to evoke such hatred from you? They are God’s children just as much as you and I are.

While not my preference, just like every other form of public behavior that one would prefer not to see its part and parcel of the world we live in and like everything else, constitutes a “teachable moment”.
