Yeeeuck!!
Read this. I would have posted the story but it's not really children friendly, so click the link and be prepared to be sickened!
As in the days of Noah comes to mind.
Sodom and Gomorrah must have developed in the same manner. Lower the morality bar a wee bit at a time and no one will make a fuss. God have mercy on us!
It's no longer a matter of fighting for acceptance and tollerance. It's all about "you will accept this" Our polititans cater to this tiny minority. hey, we can't have any public displays of Christianity, but a lifesized bronze statue of a human cupcake is fine!!

The article didn't say Alexander Wood was a homosexual nor was any proof given that he had this lifestyle.
The article refers to him being acused of sodomy where the evidence states that he was investigating a crime. He wasn't doing anything a custom's officer or prison guard couldn't do today (strip search).
Wood was also called a "Molly", a derogative term for "gay" after the incident. Maybe the point that O'Connor had was that bullying and name calling is bad.
The city wouldn't have given any money to fund the statue if he was not such an important historical figure. I don't find anything vulgar about the statue itself and unless someone knew the area was "gay village" there wouldn't be any association with "gay" and the statue. I wonder if there is any plaque on it and what it says.

"TORONTO – A bronze statue of one of the country's first
openly homosexual public figures
has been unveiled
in Toronto's gay village.
Hundreds of people attended a parade and ceremony on Saturday to honour Alexander Wood, a 19th-century magistrate who owned land in what has become the city's gay neighbourhood.
Wood, one of Toronto's founding fathers,
made no particular attempts to hide the fact that he was gay
– a highly unusual move at a time when homosexuality was a criminal offence punishable by death."
Wood was a cup cake. This statue was put up in a gayville so homosexuals can worship him as a role model.

So is Jesus, but a statue of Him in public would be "offensive!"
what a screwed up world!
I've written letters to the editors of two papers about this stupidity. If I get printed I'll share the editors comments.

I'm just trying to look on the bright side of things.
Ben Franklin was a Womanizer, after all. A lot of the founding fathers had major sins in their lives, too.

I cannot find any evidence that Alexander Wood was a homosexual. The news article about the statue is quite biased. A more detailed and reliable source of information about Alexander Wood.

Gay s Well they have churches and I came across one on the web
they are called "community metropolition churches" in Canada , The Gays are now setting up shop openly , since gays now have equal rights or close to it. Sodom and gormiah is here !Offically too!
Canada is headed for a confrontation with the Lord !
Im Canadian and there is not much that can be done, prayer and preach !
Things are getting bad in so many ways these days! Wow!
I read about a joke by a popular TV host, He said if God does not judge hollywood blvd , He owes sodom and gormora an appolgy , They even are making jokes ! Wow! We know God is not mocked , That is shocking to hear this!
It should alarm us!

One of the reasons why I don't watch much television. There is just too much "gay" based humour. That seems to be the trend these days. Gays making fun of themselves.
Twenty years ago, people were making fun of drug addictions like cocaine. Drug addicts making fun of themselves.
So I haven't been watching much television for the last twenty years. Why bother?
Alexander Wood didn't have any living descendants as far as I know. I am sure that if one of my ancestors was degraded in such a way, I would not be amused. There really is no way to know if Alexander Wood self-identified himself as a homosexual except to ask him but that is impossibe since he has been dead for over 150 years.
The community metropolitan church in Toronto isn't something new. It has been there for years. There has been much scandal there over the past years. It is located in a very affluent area of the city.

I have to question you again. Did you read the article?

TORONTO – A bronze statue of one of the country's first
openly homosexual
public figures has been unveiled in
Toronto's gay village
.
Hundreds of people attended a parade and ceremony on Saturday to honour Alexander Wood, a 19th-century magistrate who owned land in what has become
the city's gay neighbourhood.
Wood, one of Toronto's founding fathers,
made no particular attempts to hide the fact that he was gay
– a highly unusual move at a time when homosexuality was a criminal offence punishable by death.
"He's very important to
our community
because of what he's done in his past," said Dennis O'Connor, chair of the Church-Wellesley Village Business Improvement Area.
The organization chose Wood for the 2.5-metre-high monument because it sees him as a
forefather of the gay community
and because of his connections to the area.
This is unambiguous my friend. He was gay. The statue is in a gay neighbourhood, and was partially funded by the city.
My point here is why is it "offensive" to place Christian icons in public, which are not even partially funded by tax money, but this gay statue is perfectly acceptable?

I think the answer is simple...........it is because they (the statues, icons, etc.) ARE religious. Some people want no reminder that there IS a God who IS in control. They would rather deceive themselves.

If the bronze statue is gay I can only imagine the person it represents.
The thing that bothers me about the whole thing is that it appears the statue is honoring someone based wholly on the fact that he was homosexual. It celebrates perversity rather than accomplishment.
What would the outcry be if a marble statue (gotta use marble - bronze is 'gay'
) was erected of an individual based only on the fact he or she was a Christian?
If the statue was erected because this guy was a great leader or historically significant figure, his sexual orientation would just be a 3rd-page sideline.
This simply furthers the observation that for homosexual activists the universe is centered around, and there is nothing more important than sex. It is all that matters to them.
Uh-oh... Didn’t I just break a Canadian hate crime law by writing this post?
(Oh – sorry – to some on the boards that question may be ‘ignorant and foolish’. I must teach myself not to ask questions that may waste the time of those wise-ones who judge such things.)

I don't think that sex is all that matters to homosexuals. I think they HAVE to use same sex attraction to get noticed. They want the same things as everyone else. This is the problem............they aren't getting it. They don't understand that they can change. They think they're born attracted to the same sex. They don't understand that Jesus Christ came to this earth to save THEM, too. Of course, I believe that some of them don't want to change, either. Take another sin issue, change is possible, but the sinner just keeps sinning. Sin is sin, but some sin causes more consequences than other sins.
