Minister who Performed Homosexual 'Marriage' Awarded Order of Canada
OTTAWA, February 10, 2004 (LifeSiteNews.com) - 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.
