Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau reaches out to embrace the LGBTQ community.
OTTAWA, November 30, 2017 (LifeSiteNews) — As Christians face increasing attacks for supporting the Church’s long-held beliefs on sexuality, Canada’s Prime Minister has delivered a major address promising to “put systems in place” to stamp out alleged ongoing “discrimination” against homosexuals.
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau made the promise when delivering a long-anticipated apology to “LGBTQ2” individuals in the House of Commons on Tuesday.
“We will ensure there are systems in place so these kinds of hateful practices are a thing of the past. Discrimination and oppression of LGBTQ2 Canadians will not be tolerated,” the prime minister said.
Such discrimination “is not a moment in time, but an ongoing centuries-old campaign,” he said.
But Gwen Landolt, lawyer and vice president of REAL Women of Canada, warns that religious freedom is under threat in Trudeau’s Canada.
“According to the Supreme Court, there’s no hierarchy of rights,” she told LifeSiteNews.
“Trudeau, however, is making homosexual rights the supreme right. Those who don’t believe in LGBTQ equality will be denigrated.”
