Jack Fonseca of Campaign Life Catholics speaks at Queen's Park on March 29th.
If it passes, the anti-bullying bill tabled by Dalton McGuinty’s Ontario government would codify a “propaganda term” that has been used as a battering ram against Christian parents and teachers for decades, says a pro-family leader.
Jack Fonseca of Campaign Life Catholics, a division of Campaign Life Coalition, is targeting Bill 13’s emphasis on “homophobia,” a term which he says was coined by homosexual activists to label Christian Biblical teaching as hate speech against homosexuals.
The term “homophobia” is often used by Christians to condemn unjust criticisms and attacks against the inherent dignity of people with same-sex attractions.
