ST. JOHN’S, Newfoundland and Labrador (LifeSiteNews) — The Liberal Minister for Women and Gender Equality has promised more than $800,000 to Maritime LGBT organizations, one of which hosts sexually grotesque seminars.
On August 4, Liberal Member of Parliament (MP) and Minister for Women and Gender Equality Marci Ien announced the grant of $867,162 in taxpayer money to First Light St. John’s Friendship Centre and Quadrangle LGBTQ Community Centre.
According to a news release, both organizations aim to “support, among others, Indigenous women and 2SLGBTQI+ communities. Gender-based violence and affirming healthcare are at the heart of the projects receiving support.”
As part of its promotion of the LGBT agenda, the Quadrangle hosts a seminar series titled “(Un)Covered: Sex at The Kitchen Table.” According to its website, the series is partially due to “funding from the Public Health Agency of Canada’s HIV and Hepatitis C Community Action Fund.”
During a February 2021 Quadrangle seminar entitled “Kink, BDSM, and Fetishes,” seminar participants explained and encouraged various sexually grotesque activities, including urinating on people in a sexual setting, “rope play,” and “trampling” on people during sex.
BDSM is a term that refers to “sexual activity involving such practices as the use of physical restraints, the granting and relinquishing of control, and the infliction of pain.” Similarly, the term kink is defined as an “unconventional sexual taste or behavior.”
Much of the seminar focused on explaining how to “safely” use objects to engage in sexual activities.
“There’s a lot of things in kink that don’t involve pain,” participant Nic Kuzmochka declared. “Examples might be water sports or things that use people’s pee as a sexual object.”
“If you’re doing anything with rope, bring your own or inspect theirs and that really links back to the research aspect,” Kuzmochka said. “It’s just the best way to know that let’s say you’re using a dildo, like, you want to know when you’re engaging and playing with someone else that’s something that you can take and that is pleasurable for you.”
Another participant, Ask Spirest, discussed how to safely engage in “trampling.”
“With rope, (knowing) nerve endings and like where nerves are exposed in your body and where rope shouldn’t be cutting into them is important. If you’re doing something like trampling, you need to know where your organs are, where organs are exposed and where you shouldn’t be stepping too hard or hitting too hard,” Spirest said.
Quadrangle advertises its sexually grotesque content as open for “all ages,” saying, “Everyone is welcome at Quadrangle regardless of race, ethnicity, age, gender, religion, sexual orientation, gender identity, gender expression, disability, economic status and other diverse background.”
The organization further allows members as young as 16 years old to join.
The recent federal grant is hardly the first time the Quadrangle has received government funding. Records show that the organization received $130,000 in 2022 from the government of Canada LGBTQ2 Community Capacity Fund and $237,332 in 2021. In 2022, Quadrangle was given $6,944 from Employment and Social Development Canada.
However, donations of taxpayer dollars to LGBT and sexually grotesque organizations are not new for the Liberal government under the leadership of Prime Minister Justin Trudeau.
Recently disclosed records show that Trudeau’s government gave $12 million of taxpayer money to fund “pride” organizations and events from 2020 to 2022.
Similarly, in June, the Trudeau government pledged $1.5 million in what it claims is “emergency funding” for “pride” month to organizations running parades for increased security at their events.
