Minister
who Performed Homosexual 'Marriage' Awarded Order of Canada
OTTAWA
- A homosexual activist United Church minister who performed
a homosexual 'marriage' in New Brunswick where homosexual
marriage remains against the law, has been awarded the
Order of Canada. Adrienne Clarkson, Governor General of
Canada - an advocate of homosexuality herself - announced
the award to Eldon Hay January 27.
In
announcing his award, the Governor General said "With
intelligence, integrity and compassion, this human rights
activist has championed a more tolerant, inclusive society."
Hay, Professor Emeritus of religion at Mount Allison University
and a United Church minister, was the first president
of the activist group Parents and Friends of Lesbians
and Gays (PFLAG).
Hay
will be featured as a commentator on the CBC News Sunday
live broadcast of a homosexual 'wedding' this Sunday,
February 15. Of note, CBC - the country's publicly funded
national broadcaster -will be airing the live 'wedding'
on a day marked by Christian groups across the country
as a special day to promote traditional marriage.
The
week of February 8-15 and February 15 specifically has
been designated by a partnership between the Ontario Conference
of Catholic Bishops and the Evangelical Fellowship of
Canada, among other groups, to proclaim the sanctity of
marriage - as God designed it - between one man and one
woman.
