A Saskatchewan, Canada-based LGBT group has tried asking the provincial capital of Regina to cancel an Evangelical Christian event in the province's largest stadium because it promotes Biblical views on marriage and sexuality. The Protestant Christian "Come Together Saskatchewan" event, organized by Gospel Fire for All Nations, successfully occurred from June 7 to 8 in Regina's Mosaic Stadium. The event featured many well-known speakers and musicians from the evangelical community. (Related: Pro-LGBT mainstream media is now attacking US states for ‘trying to make sex binary.’) All this despite strong opposition from Queen City Pride, a local LGBTQ+ advocacy group, which on June 7 said in a press release that the event should be canceled because it features Bible quotes about marriage and homosexuality that are "anti-LGBTQIA2S+." "Queen City Pride is appalled at the announcement that an event with strong anti-LGBTQIA2S+ sentiment is being held at Regina’s Mosaic Stadium," reads the statement sent to the media. "The Gospel Fire Ministries Statement of Faith contains the following: deeply troubling stances on members of the gender and sexually diverse community." The local LGBT group labeled traditional Christian teachings on sexuality and marriage as part of a "hateful agenda." The teachings, which the Gospel Fire Ministries lists on its official website, include:
  • "We believe that God wonderfully and immutably creates each person as male or female. These two distinct, complementary genders together reflect the image and nature of God (Gen 1:26-27). Rejection of one’s biological sex is a rejection of the image of God within that person."
  • "We believe that the term 'marriage' has only one meaning: The uniting of one man and one woman in a single, exclusive union, as delineated in Scripture (Gen 2:18-25). We believe that God intends sexual intimacy to occur only between a man and a woman who are married to each other (1 Cor 6:18; 7:2-5; Heb 13:4). We believe that God has commanded that no intimate sexual activity be engaged in outside of a marriage between a man and a woman."
  • "Because God has ordained marriage and defined it as the covenant relationship between a man, a woman, and Himself, The Original Gospel Ministries will only recognize marriages between a biological man and a biological woman. Further, the pastors, ministers, clergy, and staff of the organization shall only solemnize marriages between one man and one woman."
  • "We believe that any form of sexual immorality (including adultery, fornication, homosexual behavior, bisexual conduct, bestiality, incest, and use of pornography) is sinful and offensive to God (Matt 15:18-20; 1 Cor 6:9-10).”
Queen City Pride even criticized the use of a publicly funded facility like Mosaic Stadium for hosting such viewpoints. "We do not condone the use of a publicly funded facility like Mosaic Stadium hosting groups that are promoting such a directly hateful agenda. And we feel furthermore that the true intentions of this event have been hidden – to essentially bait the public into an event where people may be indoctrinated by the strong anti-GSD [gender and sexual diversity] stance of the event," the group said.

LGBT activists have been attacking "anti-LGBT moves" in Canada

Gospel Fire is not the only group being targeted by LGBT activists in Canada. This June, Emo, a small township in Ontario, attended a Human Rights Tribunal of Ontario proceeding after local activist group Borderland Pride filed a complaint over a 2020 town council decision not to celebrate June as "Pride" month and fly the LGBT "Pride" flag. "There’s no flags being flown for the straight people," said Mayor Harold McQuake back then. Borderland Pride faced immediate opposition from certain council members when it filed the motion. But then, Borderland Pride filed a human rights complaint, demanding the town issue an apology, officially recognize June as "Pride" month, and display the LGBT flag for one week, following the rejection of their motion. Aside from seeking recognition for Pride Month, Borderland Pride is also requesting CA$15,000 ($10,900) from the municipality and CA$10,000 ($7,260) each from the mayor and the two councilors who opposed the proclamation. Borderland Pride offered to withdraw the case if the town bowed to their initial demands. But just like the Gospel Fire for All Nations, the township staunchly refused the proposal. Instead, Emo opts to proceed with the tribunal hearing. Head over to Intolerance.news for similar stories.
