PSALMS 14:1
1 To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David. The fool hath said in his heart, There is no God. They are corrupt, they have done abominable works, there is none that doeth good.
ROMANS 1:18-32
18 For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who hold the truth in unrighteousness;
19 Because that which may be known of God is manifest in them; for God hath shewed it unto them.
20 For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse:
21 Because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened.
22 Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools,
23 And changed the glory of the uncorruptible God into an image made like to corruptible man, and to birds, and fourfooted beasts, and creeping things.
24 Wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of their own hearts, to dishonour their own bodies between themselves:(HOMOSEXUALITY,AND ALL SEX SINS)
25 Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen.
26 For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature:(LESBIENS)
27 And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly,(SODOMITES) and receiving in themselves that recompence of their error which was meet.(AIDS ETC)
28 And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient;
29 Being filled with all unrighteousness, fornication, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, debate, deceit, malignity; whisperers,
30 Backbiters, haters of God, despiteful, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents,
31 Without understanding, covenantbreakers, without natural affection, implacable, unmerciful:
32 Who knowing the judgment of God, that they which commit such things are worthy of death, not only do the same, but have pleasure in them that do them.
GOD CREATED THEM MALE AND FEMALE IN MARRIAGE
GENESIS 1:27-28
27 So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.
28 And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply,(HAVE LOTS OF CHILDREN) and replenish the earth,(HOMOSEXUALS CAN NOT REPLENISH THE EARTH WITH CHILDREN)(BY HAVING SEX WITH EACH OTHER) and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth.
GENESIS 2:21-24
21 And the LORD God caused a deep sleep to fall upon Adam, and he slept: and he took one of his ribs, and closed up the flesh instead thereof;
22 And the rib, which the LORD God had taken from man, made he a woman, and brought her unto the man.
23 And Adam said, This is now bone of my bones, and flesh of my flesh: she shall be called Woman, because she was taken out of Man.
24 Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave unto his wife: and they shall be one flesh.
MATTHEW 19:4-6
4 And he answered and said unto them, Have ye not read, that he which made them at the beginning made them male and female,
5 And said, For this cause shall a man leave father and mother, and shall cleave to his wife: and they twain shall be one flesh?
6 Wherefore they are no more twain, but one flesh. What therefore God hath joined together, let not man put asunder.
UPDATE-JUNE 17, 2019-12:28PM
I DECIDED LAST NIGHT JUNE 16,19-THAT I WOULD GO AND PROTEST THE SODOMITE SEX CULT FLAG RAISING IN WALKERTON ONT AT 12 NOON JUNE 17,19 TODAY. OK SO I LEFT MY PLACE AT 11AM. BY 11:20AM I WAS DOWN WERE THE FLAG WOULD BE RAISED AT NOON. I PUT MY HANDS ON THE FLAG POLE. AND PRAYED THAT JESUS WOULD STOP THE SODOMITE RAINBOW GROUPERS SEX CULT FLAG FROM FLYING. I THEN WENT UP TOWN TILL 11:45AM. I WAS BACK AT THE SITE AT 11:45AM. THERE I WENT ON THE SIDE WALK. AND THE SINGLE LADY COP THAT WAS THERE. CAME UP TO ME AND SAID. WHAT ARE YOU DOING. I SAID PROTESTING THE SODOMITE SEX CULT FLAG FROM BEING RAISED IN OWEN SOUND I SAID FIRST. THEN I SAID NO NOT OWEN SOUND. I GOT THE FLAG BANNED FROM FLYING THERE. I MEANT WALKERTON. THE POLICE LADY THEN ASKED ME MY NAME. AND SAID YOU HAVE YOUR RIGHT TO PROTEST. BUT DON"T SAY ANYTHING WHILE THE CEREMONEY IS GOING ON PLEASE. I SAID NO I WON:T SAY ANYTHING WHILE ITS GOING ON. I TOLD HER. I PRONOUNCED JUDGEMENT ON THE FLAG POLE ALREADY. SHE THEN WENT TO TALK TO THE 11 SODOMITES OR SUPPORTERS THERE. AT LEAST THERE WAS A CEMENT FLOWER GARDEN FOR ME TO SIT AT-ABOUT 10 FEET AWAY FROM THE SEX CULTISTS AND SUPPORTERS. THEN 2 TIMES I PRAYED THAT THE 11 INVOLVED IN THIS ABOMINATION SATANIC RITUAL. WOULD BRING DESTRUCTION ON THEIR OWN HEADS. INCLUDING THE MAYOR. WHO WAS ONE OF 11 AT THE SITE IN HIS LIGHT BLUE SUIT. AFTER ABOUT 10 TO 15 MINUTES LATER. A BLACK CAR ROLLS UP AND 2 EITHER GAYS OR ORGANIZERS OR WHATEVER. GOT OUTTA THE CAR. THEY WERE TALKING WITH THE MAYOR FOR A MINUTE. THEN WENT TO THE FLAG POLE-WERE THE ABOMINATION WAS ABOUT TO TAKE PLACE. THEIR WAS A TOTAL OF 13 PEOPLE. 1 THE MAYOR, AND ANOTHER A CITY WORKER. AND 1 OFFICER. SO THIS GIGANTIC SODOMITE SEX CULT FLAG RAISING. HAD 10 ATTENDEES. AND 1 PROTESTER ME (10 FEET WAY FROM THE SEX CULTISTS AND PROMOTERS). WHATEVER THE MAYOR SAID-WHO KNOWS AND WHO CARES (NOT ME). I COULD HERE NOTHING. AFTER ABOUT 5 MINUTES OR SO. I CAN"T EVEN REMEMBER IF IT WAS THE MAYOR OR SEX CULTIST LEADER OR WHOEVER WHO HOISTED THE FLAG UP THE POLE. BUT MY PRAYER WAS ANSWERED BY GOD. AS THE FLAG GOT STUCK OR SOMETHING HALF WAY UP THE POLE. AND THE CITY WORKER HAD TO DO SOMETHING TO GET THE FLAG ON TRACK AGAIN. HE FIXED THE PROBLEM. AND THE FLAG WAS RISEN. I WAS LUCKY. THERE WERE TREES BLOCKING MY VIEW. SO I DID NOT EVEN HAVE TO SEE THE ABOMINATION SEX CULT FLAG BEING RAISED. AFTER THE FLAG WAS FLYIN. THE 10 PEOPLE MADE A CIRCLE AROUND THE FLAG POLE. IT ALL TOOK ABOUT 5 MINUTES. I SAT QUITE NEVER SAID A THING AND JUST COUNTED THE SODOMITES AND THEIR SUPPORTERS. SO WHEN I WRITE ABOUT MY PROTEST ADVENTURE. I WOULD AT LEAST KNOW HOW MANY WERE AT THIS SODOMITE RAINBOW GROUPERS SEX CULT ABOMINATION FLAG FLYING EVENT. AFTER ABOUT 5 MINUTES OF THE EVENT. I DECIDED ITS TIME TO LEAVE. SO I WENT IN THE MIDDLE OF THE 10 SUPPORTERS ON MY WAY HOME. I SAID TO THEM. I HOPE USE ENJOYED YOUR 2 MINUTES OF SATISFACTION FOR ETERNALLY BURNING IN THE LAKE OF FIRE. I SAID USE WILL BE PROUD TO BURN IN THAT LAKE OF FIRE FOREVER. THE POLICE LADY SAID TO ME. BE ON YOUR WAY. DON:T GET HIT BY THAT CAR. THAT WAS IT. MY WALKERTON SEX CULT CALM JUDGEMENT PROTEST ON THE SODOMITES AND THEIR SEX CULT LIBERAL SEWER RAT SUPPORTERS THERE. I DON:T EVEN KNOW OR CARE THAT I DO NOT EVEN KNOW THE NAME OF OUR WALKERTON MAYOR. BUT NEXT YEAR I MIGHT GO TO CITY HALL TO GET THE FLAG FLYING BANNED HERE LIKE I DID IN OWEN SOUND IN 2005.
UPDATE-JUNE 06, 2019-12:43PM
BACK IN JULY OF 2005 I DECIDED I WOULD GO TO CITY HALL IN OWEN SOUND ONTARIO. I LIVED IN OWEN SOUND FROM 2002 TO 2007. TO STOP THE GAY SEX CULT FLAG FROM BEING FLOWN OUTSIDE CITY HALL. I WENT TO THE CITY COUNCIL MEETING. I SAT PATIENTLY UNTIL THEY SAID. IS THERE ANYONE WHO WOULD LIKE TO ASK US ANY QUESTIONS. I THEN STOOD UP AND WENT TO THE PODIUM AND SAID MY NAME AND WERE I LIVED IN OWEN SOUND. I TOLD CITY COUNCIL MY SPEECH WILL EXPLAIN WHY I AM HERE. I THEN READ MY SPEECH TO THE CITY COUNCIL MEMBERS.http://israndjer.blogspot.com/2005/12/stans-israeli-flag-issue-shot-down.html - MY SPEECH TO CITY COUNCIL. RUTH LOVELL WAS THE MAYOR OF OWEN SOUND AT THE TIME. AND THEIR WAS 2 LESBIEN GAY SEX CULT MEMBERS ON COUNCIL AT THE TIME DEB HASWELL AND ARLENE WRIGHT. AFTER MY SPEECH. EITHER DEB HASWELL OR ARLENE WRIGHT GOT THEIR MOUTH IN IT REAL QUICK. AND ASKED MAYOR RUTH LOVELL TO DEAL WITH THIS GAY SEX CULT FLAG FLYING ISSUE RIGHT HERE AND NOW. THE COUNCIL VOTED. AND THE ISSUE WAS TAKEN UP INSTANLY WHILE I WAS THERE BEFORE THE COUNCIL.RUTH LOVELL SAID I CAN SIT DOWN WHILE COUNCIL DEALS WITH THE ISSUE RIGHT NOW. AFTER ABOUT AN HOUR OR AND HOUR AND A HALF. AFTER ALL THE DEBATING FOR OR AGAINST FLAGS FLYING OUTSIDE CITY HALL. A VOTE WAS DONE. AND I BELIEVE THE FINAL VOTE WAS 5 TO 4 TO STOP ALL FLAGS BUT VISITING DIGNITARIES OR NATIONAL FLAGS OF CANADA AND PROVINCES AND TERRITORIES. SO I SINGLE HANDEDLY GOT THE SODOMITE SEX CULT FLAG STOPPED FROM BEING FLOWN AT CITY HALL IN OWEN SOUND FROM 2005 TILL 12 YEARS LATERS. WHEN IN 2017 ON APR 10. MY GAY SEX CULT BAN OF THE FLAG WAS OVER TURNED BY CITY COUNCIL. AND WHAT I CAN GATHER. IT WAS OVER THE HOCKEY FLAG OF THE ATTACK. CITY HALL ALLOWED THE HOCKEY FLAG TO BE RAISED. AND THAT ALLOWED THE GAY SEX CULT TO ASK TO HAVE THEIR ABOMINATION FLAG FLYING AT CITY HALL IN OWEN SOUND AGAIN. I ONLY KNEW ABOUT MY BAN BEING OVER TURNED. WHEN LAST WEEK IN OUR LOCAL NEWS PAPER. I READ A STORY ABOUT THE LUKEWARM UNITED WAY (WHICH I WILL NEVER EVER GIVE A DONATION TO EVER AGAIN) FOR SUCK HOLING UP TO THE GAY SEX CULT. AND GOT THE SODOMITES MONEY TO MAKE PRIDE SODOMITE FLAGS TO FLY ALL OVER GREY BRUCE IN JUNE OF 2019. 14 OF THE 17 CITIES IN GREY-BRUCE WILL BE FLYING THE GAY SEX CULT FLAG SOME TIME EACH IN JUNE TO REPRESENT AND PROMOTE THE POLITICAL GAY SEX CULT (FAMILY DESTROYERS). FOR ALL THE CHRISTIANS OUT THEIR THAT BELIEVE THE BIBLE AND BELIEVE THAT THE SODOMITE SEX CULT IS AN ABOMINATION TO GOD. I SAY TO ALL CHRISTIANS IN GREY-BRUCE. DO NOT BUY ANYTHING AT THE STORES THAT HAVE THE GAY SEX CULT FLAG FLYING. WE CHRISTIANS WILL NOT SUPPORT ANY BUSSINESSES OR GROUPS THAT FLYS OR PROMOTES THE ABOMINATION GAY SEX CULT. WE CHRISTIANS MUST STAND UP AGAINST THIS ABOMINATION FAMILY DESTROYING GAY SEX CULT. AND WE MUST UP LIFT JESUS, NOT SATAN IN OUR SMALL CITIES. LASTLY I PRAYED THAT GOD WOULD SEND A TORNADO THREW OWEN SOUND AT 8:58AM FRI JUNE 7, 2019. TO STOP THE GAY SEX CULT FLAG FROM BEING FLOWN AT CITY HALL IN OWEN SOUND. WE WILL SEE IF GOD WILL ANSWER MY PRAYER FOR OWEN SOUND CITY HALL OVER TURNING MY GAY FLAG BAN. AFTER 17 YEARS OF NO FLYING GAY SEX CULT FLAGS AT CITY HALL IN OWEN SOUND. THE GAY SEX CULT FLAG WILL BE RAISED AT 9AM OUTSIDE CITY HALL IN OWEN SOUND. AND WILL STAY THERE FOR 2 WEEKS. I LIVED IN OWEN SOUND FOR 2 YEARS AFTER I GOT THE BAN ON NO GAY FLAGS FLYING AT CITY HALL. AND NOT ONE CHRISTIAN IN THAT TIME. CAME UP TO ME AND THANKED ME FOR GETTING THE BAN ON THE GAY FLAG IN OWEN SOUND. DOES THAT SAY SOMETHING ABOUT OWEN SOUND OR WHAT. AFTER I GOT IT BANNED. WEIRD HAPPENS STARTED TO HAPPEN. ABOUT A MONTH LATER. I GOT A NOTICE IN THE MAIL SAYING I OWE I THINK IT WAS 50.00 OR SOMETHING. FOR MY GARBAGE BEING OUT BACK INSTEAD OF THE GARBAGE BIN. I PHONED CITY HALL AND SAID. OVIOUSLY SOMEONE THREW MY GARBAGE OUTSIDE TO GET ME IN TROUBLE. BECAUSE AT THE PLACE WERE I LIVED. WE PUT OUR GARBAGE IN THE HALLWAY. AND THE CLEANER TAKES OUT THE GARBAGE. SO I NEVER HAD TO PAY THAT FINE. I WAS SET UP. THE NEXT HAPPENING WAS ABOUT 6 MONTHS LATER. I GOT BED BUGS IN MY APARTMENT. AND ALSO MY CEILING STARTED LEAKING AND I HAD TO PUT PAILS ON THE FLOOR TO CATCH THE WATER. AFTER ABOUT A MONTH OF THE LEAKING CEILING. I TOLD THE LAND LORD I WANT A NEW ROOM. AND THE SAME DAY. I WAS GIVEN A NEW ROOM TO LIVE IN. BUT THEIR WAS ONE LAST SCARY THING THAT HAPPENED AS I MOVED INTO MY NEW ROOM. I GOT ALL MY STUFF MOVED FROM THE UPSTAIRS OTHER ROOM TO THE NEW DOWN STAIRS ROOM. I LOOKED TO THE FOOT OF THE BED AND SAW THIS AT LEAST 8 INCH HIGH BLACK GIGANTIC ROUND ANIMAL WITH TONS OF LEGS. IT LOOKED LIKE A GIGANTIC SPIDER. SO I GOT MY BROOM AND WANTED TO HIT IT. BUT IT WENT UNDER THE BED. AND I WAS HITTING UNDER THE BED. AND THE GIGANTIC ANIMAL NEVER CAME OUT. I THEN LOOKED UNDER THE BED. AND IT WAS GONE. JUST DISAPPEARED. MY DOOR WAS OPEN AT THE TIME. SO IT EITHER ESCAPED OUT THE DOORWAY. OR IT WENT TO WEREVER IT WAS HIDING IN MY ROOM. I THOUGHT IT WAS A GIGANTIC SPIDER MYSELF. BUT 8 INCHES TALL. IT SCARED THE DICONS OUT OF ME. BUT I LIVED IN THAT ROOM FOR ANOTHER YEAR. AND NEVER EVER SEEN IT AGAIN. SO IT MUST HAVE ESCAPED OUT THE OPEN DOOR OF MY ROOM THAT DAY. BUT YES WHEN YOU COME AGAINST SINNERS OF THE GAY SEX CULT. YOU CAN EXPECT HARASSMENT AND REVENGE BY SOMEONE AGAINST YOU. AND TO GET ME IN TROUBLE. ONLY GOD KNOWS. BUT FOR THE 6 MONTHAS AFTER I GOT THE GAY SEX CULT FLAG BAN. WAS VERY TROUBLING. I JUST PUT EVERY THING TOGETHER AFTER LOOKING BACK AND THINKING OF ALL THE WEIRD HAPPENINGS THAT HAPPENED TO ME AFTER I WENT IN FRONT OF CITY HALL IN JULY OF 2005.
HERE IS HOW MY GAY SEX CULT BAN WAS OVER THROWN BY OWEN SOUND CITY COUNCIL.FROM 2005 TILL 2017.

Grey Bruce Pride distributing rainbow flags for Pride month-Denis Langlois Denis Langlois-Last Updated: May 10, 2019 7:20 PM EDT
Grey Bruce Pride is hoping to see rainbows in the sky throughout the two counties next month.The committee is distributing LGBTQ Pride flags – purchased with a $2,500 Community Foundation Grey Bruce grant that the United Way of Bruce Grey applied for on the group’s behalf – to municipalities, organizations and businesses in the lead up to Pride Month in June.Committee chair Donald Anderson said 14 of Grey-Bruce’s 17 lower-tier municipalities have agreed to fly the flag, while two are awaiting council approval and one has not yet responded.“I think it’s important to see them in the municipalities and other locations because it shows the LGBTQ2S community and our allies that we exist within all the different jurisdictions of Grey-Bruce. There are pockets of us everywhere and it’s nice to know that we are recognized and appreciated and are part of the Grey-Bruce community,” he said in an interview.Committee members spent part of Friday afternoon preparing the flags for distribution at the United Way office.Municipalities have been invited to hoist the flag on every pole available, including in front of fire halls and police stations, Anderson said.About 270 flags in three sizes were purchased with the grant.Local United Way executive director Francesca Dobbyn said the organization applied for the funding because Community Foundation grants can only be given to registered charities.She said the agency has supported Grey Bruce Pride for many years, with some limited funding, and the flag initiative meets its mandate of supporting inclusivity, community engagement, human rights, education and the reduction of discrimination.“In conversation about last year’s efforts to put up Pride flags around the community, one of things they talked about was the lack of funding to buy flags – they needed a budget to buy flags – so this was just the next logical step because there was so much uptake with it last year,” she said.Three municipalities – Owen Sound, Kincardine and Town of the Blue Mountains – flew Pride flags in 2017, prompting Grey Bruce Pride to send out letters in 2018 inviting all 17 Grey-Bruce municipalities to do the same.Fourteen municipalities agreed to fly the flags for Pride month, which GLAAD says is a time for celebrating and advocating for further acceptance for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer and two-spirited people.“This is building on last year’s program. Our intention was to add more flags to be flown,” Anderson said.“We had intended to put as many flags as we could within each municipality, but many policies have been developed since last year in which they have only one pole designated to fly a community flag.”Owen Sound has agreed to fly the Pride flag on its “community flag pole” from June 7 to 21.Kristan Shrider, the city’s manager of property, said the pole has been purchased and the city is planning to have it installed by month’s end on the south side of city hall. The pole was part of the site plan for the city hall renovation project.Owen Sound’s history of flying Pride flags dates back to 2005 when one was hoisted in front of city hall by Joan Beecroft, on behalf of the Elementary Teachers’ Federation of Ontario Bluewater Local’s human rights committee. That event was met by a small group of protesters.Council voted a couple weeks later to no longer let groups fly their flags on city property, after it permitted the flying of the gay Pride flag but denied an Orange Lodge request. Some councillors at the time feared a discrimination lawsuit if some flags were approved and others denied.Council ended the 12-year ban in 2017 by amending the city’s flag-flying policy to include rules about flying flags on a community flag pole.A Pride flag was raised outside of the Harry Lumley Bayshore Community Centre – the temporary location of the city’s community flag pole – in both 2017 and 2018.The latter ceremony took place during the same month as an inaugural Owen Sound Pride parade, organized by a local group, made its way down 2nd Avenue East in the city.
THE LAST TIME THE SOMITE SEX CULT FLAG WAS BANNED AT OS CITY HALL.JUNE 24, 2016
Owen Sound Police Raise Pride Flag After City Council Refuses-"People should not be persecuted for who they are, or who they love."-Al Donato-Huffington Post CanadaJUNE 24, 2016
In the wake of the Orlando mass shooting that left 49 killed in a gay nightclub, many across Canada have paid tribute by raising pride rainbow flags high, draping them around their shoulders, or flying them at half-mast.But the LGBTQ residents in the southern Ontario town of Owen Sound have been asking their city for support and recognition, with little success.For the past 11 years, Owen Sound City Council has banned rainbow flags from being raised at city hall.However, that didn’t stop Owen Sound’s official Facebook page from welcoming Pride Month with a photo of a waving rainbow flag.The irony was not lost on some Owen Sound residents, including retiree Joan Beecroft. As a former chair of the Elementary Teachers’ Federation of Ontario’s Human Rights Committee, she had succeeded in getting approval to fly a rainbow flag over city hall in 2005. A group of anti-gay protesters tried to shut down the flag-raising ceremony, heckling one councillor’s son as a child who “shouldn’t have been born.”After that, city policy was changed to ban all flags from flying over city properties, with the exception of flags representing government and certain holiday-specific flags, such as one for Remembrance Day.Update: Owen Sound City Council's communications advisor Peter Aylan-Parker told The Huffington Post Canada in an email:"The City of Owen Sound has had a policy for many years respecting the use of our municipal flagpole, city proclamations, and public awareness campaigns. This policy states that the City will only fly specific flags (e.g. Canadian Flag, City Flag, Provincial Flag, etc.). All flags are flown in accordance with the etiquette established by Heritage Canada."“[It’s a] cowardly policy, 10 years out of date,” Beecroft told The Huffington Post Canada. “Things have changed in the country and everywhere else."In response to city council’s decision, residents have taken to decking their homes and businesses with pride flags.Fortunately, the Owen Sound Police Department didn't follow city hall's footsteps, conducting its own official flag-raising ceremony on Monday, June 20, at police headquarters.Police chief Bill Sornberger announced that "the safety of every [community] member is paramount," Owen Sound Hub reports.Their pride flag will fly for the rest of the month.Join us as we celebrate the diversity of our city!

If ever there was an easier way to do it, it would be now.”Haswell said she was unhappy to hear that no city representatives attended a recent vigil for the Orlando shooting victims held in Owen Sound, especially since the mayor or other city officials are expected to appear at most public events. Sources confirm that they did not witness anyone at the vigil who went on behalf of Owen Sound City Council.“It’s disappointing that the mayor or council doesn’t have conviction to show leadership,” she said.Owen Sound City Council has previously ignored its own flag-flying policies. Council flew a flag for its "sister city" Miamisburg, Ohio, for six months. The flag’s existence was largely ignored, Owen Sound Hub publisher Anne Finlay-Stewart told HuffPost Canada.“If you polled people here, most would not know. It has no impact on people here,” Finlay-Stewart said. “Whereas, a pride flag says we actually support [LGBT] people here, who raise children and pay taxes.”Grey Bruce Pride chair MaryAnn Thomas pointed this out to council as precedent for a policy overhaul last year, however the council chose to uphold their stance.“I can’t think of an easier or open time in [the] history of this country, to hoist that flag. If ever there was an easier way to do it, it would be now.”Stevie Forbes-Roberts, an ARCH HIV/AIDS resources coordinator, told The Huffington Post Canada that the decision will have repercussions for Owen Sound’s queer and trans residents.“There’s a concern that because of what happened in Orlando, more youth will not be coming out and living with more self-internalized shame,” Stevie said. “Then there’s people who have been out their whole lives and live in Owen Sound. [They] deserve for city hall to recognize their identities.”While city hall won't see rainbow banners flapping overhead anytime soon, Owen Sound political representatives have spoken out about Pride Month.Mayor Ian Boddy acknowledged the Orlando shootings as he opened a city council meeting on June 13, and urged residents to attend Pride festivities.“People should not be persecuted for who they are, or who they love, what they do, what they come home to, what colour their skin is, where they live,” Boddy said. “Today I want to be clear that we stand with Orlando and with the worldwide LGBT community.”In an open letter to Owen Sound Hub, Owen Sound MP Larry Miller condemned the Orlando attacks as an act of “radical Islam.”Miller, an outspoken Conservative MP, had asked niqab-wearing Muslims to “stay the hell where you came from,” on a radio show debate during the last federal election.He had previously argued that the Liberal long gun registry was akin to policies approved by Adolf Hitler. Miller has since apologized for both statements.“People should not be persecuted for who they are, or who they love, what they do, what they come home to, what colour their skin is, where they live.”Owen Sound is not the only Canadian town to squabble with the pride flag. Since 2007, Truro, N.S. has officially banned flying the pride flag. However, the Orlando mass shooting led the town to fly the pride flag for the first time, and at half-mast.For Beecroft and others, the pride flag represents how, in a small way, their home respects them.“Flags are a real small thing. When you see your flag flying… it means you’re part of the city. You belong there,” Beecroft said. “And when there aren’t any at all, I think that’s a statement too.”

PSALMS 14:1
1 To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David. The fool hath said in his heart, There is no God. They are corrupt, they have done abominable works, there is none that doeth good.
ROMANS 1:18-32
18 For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who hold the truth in unrighteousness;
19 Because that which may be known of God is manifest in them; for God hath shewed it unto them.
20 For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse:
21 Because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened.
22 Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools,
23 And changed the glory of the uncorruptible God into an image made like to corruptible man, and to birds, and fourfooted beasts, and creeping things.
24 Wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of their own hearts, to dishonour their own bodies between themselves:(HOMOSEXUALITY,AND ALL SEX SINS)
25 Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen.
26 For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature:(LESBIENS)
27 And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly,(SODOMITES) and receiving in themselves that recompence of their error which was meet.(AIDS ETC)
28 And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient;
29 Being filled with all unrighteousness, fornication, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, debate, deceit, malignity; whisperers,
30 Backbiters, haters of God, despiteful, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents,
31 Without understanding, covenantbreakers, without natural affection, implacable, unmerciful:
32 Who knowing the judgment of God, that they which commit such things are worthy of death, not only do the same, but have pleasure in them that do them.
GOD CREATED THEM MALE AND FEMALE IN MARRIAGE
GENESIS 1:27-28
27 So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.
28 And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply,(HAVE LOTS OF CHILDREN) and replenish the earth,(HOMOSEXUALS CAN NOT REPLENISH THE EARTH WITH CHILDREN)(BY HAVING SEX WITH EACH OTHER) and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth.
GENESIS 2:21-24
21 And the LORD God caused a deep sleep to fall upon Adam, and he slept: and he took one of his ribs, and closed up the flesh instead thereof;
22 And the rib, which the LORD God had taken from man, made he a woman, and brought her unto the man.
23 And Adam said, This is now bone of my bones, and flesh of my flesh: she shall be called Woman, because she was taken out of Man.
24 Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave unto his wife: and they shall be one flesh.
MATTHEW 19:4-6
4 And he answered and said unto them, Have ye not read, that he which made them at the beginning made them male and female,
5 And said, For this cause shall a man leave father and mother, and shall cleave to his wife: and they twain shall be one flesh?
6 Wherefore they are no more twain, but one flesh. What therefore God hath joined together, let not man put asunder.
UPDATE-JUNE 17, 2019-12:28PM
I DECIDED LAST NIGHT JUNE 16,19-THAT I WOULD GO AND PROTEST THE SODOMITE SEX CULT FLAG RAISING IN WALKERTON ONT AT 12 NOON JUNE 17,19 TODAY. OK SO I LEFT MY PLACE AT 11AM. BY 11:20AM I WAS DOWN WERE THE FLAG WOULD BE RAISED AT NOON. I PUT MY HANDS ON THE FLAG POLE. AND PRAYED THAT JESUS WOULD STOP THE SODOMITE RAINBOW GROUPERS SEX CULT FLAG FROM FLYING.

I TOLD HER. I PRONOUNCED JUDGEMENT ON THE FLAG POLE ALREADY. SHE THEN WENT TO TALK TO THE 11 SODOMITES OR SUPPORTERS THERE. AT LEAST THERE WAS A CEMENT FLOWER GARDEN FOR ME TO SIT AT-ABOUT 10 FEET AWAY FROM THE SEX CULTISTS AND SUPPORTERS. THEN 2 TIMES I PRAYED THAT THE 11 INVOLVED IN THIS ABOMINATION SATANIC RITUAL. WOULD BRING DESTRUCTION ON THEIR OWN HEADS. INCLUDING THE MAYOR. WHO WAS ONE OF 11 AT THE SITE IN HIS LIGHT BLUE SUIT. AFTER ABOUT 10 TO 15 MINUTES LATER. A BLACK CAR ROLLS UP AND 2 EITHER GAYS OR ORGANIZERS OR WHATEVER. GOT OUTTA THE CAR. THEY WERE TALKING WITH THE MAYOR FOR A MINUTE. THEN WENT TO THE FLAG POLE-WERE THE ABOMINATION WAS ABOUT TO TAKE PLACE. THEIR WAS A TOTAL OF 13 PEOPLE. 1 THE MAYOR, AND ANOTHER A CITY WORKER. AND 1 OFFICER. SO THIS GIGANTIC SODOMITE SEX CULT FLAG RAISING. HAD 10 ATTENDEES. AND 1 PROTESTER ME (10 FEET WAY FROM THE SEX CULTISTS AND PROMOTERS). WHATEVER THE MAYOR SAID-WHO KNOWS AND WHO CARES (NOT ME). I COULD HERE NOTHING. AFTER ABOUT 5 MINUTES OR SO. I CAN"T EVEN REMEMBER IF IT WAS THE MAYOR OR SEX CULTIST LEADER OR WHOEVER WHO HOISTED THE FLAG UP THE POLE. BUT MY PRAYER WAS ANSWERED BY GOD. AS THE FLAG GOT STUCK OR SOMETHING HALF WAY UP THE POLE. AND THE CITY WORKER HAD TO DO SOMETHING TO GET THE FLAG ON TRACK AGAIN. HE FIXED THE PROBLEM. AND THE FLAG WAS RISEN. I WAS LUCKY. THERE WERE TREES BLOCKING MY VIEW. SO I DID NOT EVEN HAVE TO SEE THE ABOMINATION SEX CULT FLAG BEING RAISED. AFTER THE FLAG WAS FLYIN. THE 10 PEOPLE MADE A CIRCLE AROUND THE FLAG POLE. IT ALL TOOK ABOUT 5 MINUTES. I SAT QUITE NEVER SAID A THING AND JUST COUNTED THE SODOMITES AND THEIR SUPPORTERS. SO WHEN I WRITE ABOUT MY PROTEST ADVENTURE. I WOULD AT LEAST KNOW HOW MANY WERE AT THIS SODOMITE RAINBOW GROUPERS SEX CULT ABOMINATION FLAG FLYING EVENT. AFTER ABOUT 5 MINUTES OF THE EVENT. I DECIDED ITS TIME TO LEAVE.

I SAID USE WILL BE PROUD TO BURN IN THAT LAKE OF FIRE FOREVER. THE POLICE LADY SAID TO ME. BE ON YOUR WAY. DON:T GET HIT BY THAT CAR. THAT WAS IT.

BUT NEXT YEAR I MIGHT GO TO CITY HALL TO GET THE FLAG FLYING BANNED HERE LIKE I DID IN OWEN SOUND IN 2005.
UPDATE-JUNE 06, 2019-12:43PM
BACK IN JULY OF 2005 I DECIDED I WOULD GO TO CITY HALL IN OWEN SOUND ONTARIO. I LIVED IN OWEN SOUND FROM 2002 TO 2007. TO STOP THE GAY SEX CULT FLAG FROM BEING FLOWN OUTSIDE CITY HALL. I WENT TO THE CITY COUNCIL MEETING. I SAT PATIENTLY UNTIL THEY SAID. IS THERE ANYONE WHO WOULD LIKE TO ASK US ANY QUESTIONS. I THEN STOOD UP AND WENT TO THE PODIUM AND SAID MY NAME AND WERE I LIVED IN OWEN SOUND. I TOLD CITY COUNCIL MY SPEECH WILL EXPLAIN WHY I AM HERE. I THEN READ MY SPEECH TO THE CITY COUNCIL MEMBERS.http://israndjer.blogspot.com/2005/12/stans-israeli-flag-issue-shot-down.html - MY SPEECH TO CITY COUNCIL. RUTH LOVELL WAS THE MAYOR OF OWEN SOUND AT THE TIME. AND THEIR WAS 2 LESBIEN GAY SEX CULT MEMBERS ON COUNCIL AT THE TIME DEB HASWELL AND ARLENE WRIGHT. AFTER MY SPEECH. EITHER DEB HASWELL OR ARLENE WRIGHT GOT THEIR MOUTH IN IT REAL QUICK. AND ASKED MAYOR RUTH LOVELL TO DEAL WITH THIS GAY SEX CULT FLAG FLYING ISSUE RIGHT HERE AND NOW. THE COUNCIL VOTED. AND THE ISSUE WAS TAKEN UP INSTANLY WHILE I WAS THERE BEFORE THE COUNCIL.RUTH LOVELL SAID I CAN SIT DOWN WHILE COUNCIL DEALS WITH THE ISSUE RIGHT NOW. AFTER ABOUT AN HOUR OR AND HOUR AND A HALF. AFTER ALL THE DEBATING FOR OR AGAINST FLAGS FLYING OUTSIDE CITY HALL. A VOTE WAS DONE. AND I BELIEVE THE FINAL VOTE WAS 5 TO 4 TO STOP ALL FLAGS BUT VISITING DIGNITARIES OR NATIONAL FLAGS OF CANADA AND PROVINCES AND TERRITORIES. SO I SINGLE HANDEDLY GOT THE SODOMITE SEX CULT FLAG STOPPED FROM BEING FLOWN AT CITY HALL IN OWEN SOUND FROM 2005 TILL 12 YEARS LATERS. WHEN IN 2017 ON APR 10. MY GAY SEX CULT BAN OF THE FLAG WAS OVER TURNED BY CITY COUNCIL. AND WHAT I CAN GATHER. IT WAS OVER THE HOCKEY FLAG OF THE ATTACK. CITY HALL ALLOWED THE HOCKEY FLAG TO BE RAISED. AND THAT ALLOWED THE GAY SEX CULT TO ASK TO HAVE THEIR ABOMINATION FLAG FLYING AT CITY HALL IN OWEN SOUND AGAIN. I ONLY KNEW ABOUT MY BAN BEING OVER TURNED. WHEN LAST WEEK IN OUR LOCAL NEWS PAPER. I READ A STORY ABOUT THE LUKEWARM UNITED WAY (WHICH I WILL NEVER EVER GIVE A DONATION TO EVER AGAIN) FOR SUCK HOLING UP TO THE GAY SEX CULT. AND GOT THE SODOMITES MONEY TO MAKE PRIDE SODOMITE FLAGS TO FLY ALL OVER GREY BRUCE IN JUNE OF 2019. 14 OF THE 17 CITIES IN GREY-BRUCE WILL BE FLYING THE GAY SEX CULT FLAG SOME TIME EACH IN JUNE TO REPRESENT AND PROMOTE THE POLITICAL GAY SEX CULT (FAMILY DESTROYERS). FOR ALL THE CHRISTIANS OUT THEIR THAT BELIEVE THE BIBLE AND BELIEVE THAT THE SODOMITE SEX CULT IS AN ABOMINATION TO GOD. I SAY TO ALL CHRISTIANS IN GREY-BRUCE. DO NOT BUY ANYTHING AT THE STORES THAT HAVE THE GAY SEX CULT FLAG FLYING. WE CHRISTIANS WILL NOT SUPPORT ANY BUSSINESSES OR GROUPS THAT FLYS OR PROMOTES THE ABOMINATION GAY SEX CULT. WE CHRISTIANS MUST STAND UP AGAINST THIS ABOMINATION FAMILY DESTROYING GAY SEX CULT. AND WE MUST UP LIFT JESUS, NOT SATAN IN OUR SMALL CITIES. LASTLY I PRAYED THAT GOD WOULD SEND A TORNADO THREW OWEN SOUND AT 8:58AM FRI JUNE 7, 2019. TO STOP THE GAY SEX CULT FLAG FROM BEING FLOWN AT CITY HALL IN OWEN SOUND. WE WILL SEE IF GOD WILL ANSWER MY PRAYER FOR OWEN SOUND CITY HALL OVER TURNING MY GAY FLAG BAN. AFTER 17 YEARS OF NO FLYING GAY SEX CULT FLAGS AT CITY HALL IN OWEN SOUND. THE GAY SEX CULT FLAG WILL BE RAISED AT 9AM OUTSIDE CITY HALL IN OWEN SOUND. AND WILL STAY THERE FOR 2 WEEKS. I LIVED IN OWEN SOUND FOR 2 YEARS AFTER I GOT THE BAN ON NO GAY FLAGS FLYING AT CITY HALL. AND NOT ONE CHRISTIAN IN THAT TIME. CAME UP TO ME AND THANKED ME FOR GETTING THE BAN ON THE GAY FLAG IN OWEN SOUND. DOES THAT SAY SOMETHING ABOUT OWEN SOUND OR WHAT. AFTER I GOT IT BANNED. WEIRD HAPPENS STARTED TO HAPPEN. ABOUT A MONTH LATER. I GOT A NOTICE IN THE MAIL SAYING I OWE I THINK IT WAS 50.00 OR SOMETHING. FOR MY GARBAGE BEING OUT BACK INSTEAD OF THE GARBAGE BIN. I PHONED CITY HALL AND SAID. OVIOUSLY SOMEONE THREW MY GARBAGE OUTSIDE TO GET ME IN TROUBLE. BECAUSE AT THE PLACE WERE I LIVED. WE PUT OUR GARBAGE IN THE HALLWAY. AND THE CLEANER TAKES OUT THE GARBAGE. SO I NEVER HAD TO PAY THAT FINE. I WAS SET UP. THE NEXT HAPPENING WAS ABOUT 6 MONTHS LATER. I GOT BED BUGS IN MY APARTMENT. AND ALSO MY CEILING STARTED LEAKING AND I HAD TO PUT PAILS ON THE FLOOR TO CATCH THE WATER. AFTER ABOUT A MONTH OF THE LEAKING CEILING. I TOLD THE LAND LORD I WANT A NEW ROOM. AND THE SAME DAY. I WAS GIVEN A NEW ROOM TO LIVE IN. BUT THEIR WAS ONE LAST SCARY THING THAT HAPPENED AS I MOVED INTO MY NEW ROOM. I GOT ALL MY STUFF MOVED FROM THE UPSTAIRS OTHER ROOM TO THE NEW DOWN STAIRS ROOM. I LOOKED TO THE FOOT OF THE BED AND SAW THIS AT LEAST 8 INCH HIGH BLACK GIGANTIC ROUND ANIMAL WITH TONS OF LEGS. IT LOOKED LIKE A GIGANTIC SPIDER. SO I GOT MY BROOM AND WANTED TO HIT IT. BUT IT WENT UNDER THE BED. AND I WAS HITTING UNDER THE BED. AND THE GIGANTIC ANIMAL NEVER CAME OUT. I THEN LOOKED UNDER THE BED. AND IT WAS GONE. JUST DISAPPEARED. MY DOOR WAS OPEN AT THE TIME. SO IT EITHER ESCAPED OUT THE DOORWAY. OR IT WENT TO WEREVER IT WAS HIDING IN MY ROOM. I THOUGHT IT WAS A GIGANTIC SPIDER MYSELF. BUT 8 INCHES TALL. IT SCARED THE DICONS OUT OF ME. BUT I LIVED IN THAT ROOM FOR ANOTHER YEAR. AND NEVER EVER SEEN IT AGAIN. SO IT MUST HAVE ESCAPED OUT THE OPEN DOOR OF MY ROOM THAT DAY. BUT YES WHEN YOU COME AGAINST SINNERS OF THE GAY SEX CULT. YOU CAN EXPECT HARASSMENT AND REVENGE BY SOMEONE AGAINST YOU. AND TO GET ME IN TROUBLE. ONLY GOD KNOWS. BUT FOR THE 6 MONTHAS AFTER I GOT THE GAY SEX CULT FLAG BAN. WAS VERY TROUBLING. I JUST PUT EVERY THING TOGETHER AFTER LOOKING BACK AND THINKING OF ALL THE WEIRD HAPPENINGS THAT HAPPENED TO ME AFTER I WENT IN FRONT OF CITY HALL IN JULY OF 2005.
HERE IS HOW MY GAY SEX CULT BAN WAS OVER THROWN BY OWEN SOUND CITY COUNCIL.FROM 2005 TILL 2017.

Grey Bruce Pride distributing rainbow flags for Pride month-Denis Langlois Denis Langlois-Last Updated: May 10, 2019 7:20 PM EDT
Grey Bruce Pride is hoping to see rainbows in the sky throughout the two counties next month.The committee is distributing LGBTQ Pride flags – purchased with a $2,500 Community Foundation Grey Bruce grant that the United Way of Bruce Grey applied for on the group’s behalf – to municipalities, organizations and businesses in the lead up to Pride Month in June.Committee chair Donald Anderson said 14 of Grey-Bruce’s 17 lower-tier municipalities have agreed to fly the flag, while two are awaiting council approval and one has not yet responded.“I think it’s important to see them in the municipalities and other locations because it shows the LGBTQ2S community and our allies that we exist within all the different jurisdictions of Grey-Bruce. There are pockets of us everywhere and it’s nice to know that we are recognized and appreciated and are part of the Grey-Bruce community,” he said in an interview.Committee members spent part of Friday afternoon preparing the flags for distribution at the United Way office.Municipalities have been invited to hoist the flag on every pole available, including in front of fire halls and police stations, Anderson said.About 270 flags in three sizes were purchased with the grant.Local United Way executive director Francesca Dobbyn said the organization applied for the funding because Community Foundation grants can only be given to registered charities.She said the agency has supported Grey Bruce Pride for many years, with some limited funding, and the flag initiative meets its mandate of supporting inclusivity, community engagement, human rights, education and the reduction of discrimination.“In conversation about last year’s efforts to put up Pride flags around the community, one of things they talked about was the lack of funding to buy flags – they needed a budget to buy flags – so this was just the next logical step because there was so much uptake with it last year,” she said.Three municipalities – Owen Sound, Kincardine and Town of the Blue Mountains – flew Pride flags in 2017, prompting Grey Bruce Pride to send out letters in 2018 inviting all 17 Grey-Bruce municipalities to do the same.Fourteen municipalities agreed to fly the flags for Pride month, which GLAAD says is a time for celebrating and advocating for further acceptance for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer and two-spirited people.“This is building on last year’s program. Our intention was to add more flags to be flown,” Anderson said.“We had intended to put as many flags as we could within each municipality, but many policies have been developed since last year in which they have only one pole designated to fly a community flag.”Owen Sound has agreed to fly the Pride flag on its “community flag pole” from June 7 to 21.Kristan Shrider, the city’s manager of property, said the pole has been purchased and the city is planning to have it installed by month’s end on the south side of city hall. The pole was part of the site plan for the city hall renovation project.Owen Sound’s history of flying Pride flags dates back to 2005 when one was hoisted in front of city hall by Joan Beecroft, on behalf of the Elementary Teachers’ Federation of Ontario Bluewater Local’s human rights committee. That event was met by a small group of protesters.Council voted a couple weeks later to no longer let groups fly their flags on city property, after it permitted the flying of the gay Pride flag but denied an Orange Lodge request. Some councillors at the time feared a discrimination lawsuit if some flags were approved and others denied.Council ended the 12-year ban in 2017 by amending the city’s flag-flying policy to include rules about flying flags on a community flag pole.A Pride flag was raised outside of the Harry Lumley Bayshore Community Centre – the temporary location of the city’s community flag pole – in both 2017 and 2018.The latter ceremony took place during the same month as an inaugural Owen Sound Pride parade, organized by a local group, made its way down 2nd Avenue East in the city.

Owen Sound Police Raise Pride Flag After City Council Refuses-"People should not be persecuted for who they are, or who they love."-Al Donato-Huffington Post CanadaJUNE 24, 2016
In the wake of the Orlando mass shooting that left 49 killed in a gay nightclub, many across Canada have paid tribute by raising pride rainbow flags high, draping them around their shoulders, or flying them at half-mast.But the LGBTQ residents in the southern Ontario town of Owen Sound have been asking their city for support and recognition, with little success.For the past 11 years, Owen Sound City Council has banned rainbow flags from being raised at city hall.However, that didn’t stop Owen Sound’s official Facebook page from welcoming Pride Month with a photo of a waving rainbow flag.The irony was not lost on some Owen Sound residents, including retiree Joan Beecroft. As a former chair of the Elementary Teachers’ Federation of Ontario’s Human Rights Committee, she had succeeded in getting approval to fly a rainbow flag over city hall in 2005. A group of anti-gay protesters tried to shut down the flag-raising ceremony, heckling one councillor’s son as a child who “shouldn’t have been born.”After that, city policy was changed to ban all flags from flying over city properties, with the exception of flags representing government and certain holiday-specific flags, such as one for Remembrance Day.Update: Owen Sound City Council's communications advisor Peter Aylan-Parker told The Huffington Post Canada in an email:"The City of Owen Sound has had a policy for many years respecting the use of our municipal flagpole, city proclamations, and public awareness campaigns. This policy states that the City will only fly specific flags (e.g. Canadian Flag, City Flag, Provincial Flag, etc.). All flags are flown in accordance with the etiquette established by Heritage Canada."“[It’s a] cowardly policy, 10 years out of date,” Beecroft told The Huffington Post Canada. “Things have changed in the country and everywhere else."In response to city council’s decision, residents have taken to decking their homes and businesses with pride flags.Fortunately, the Owen Sound Police Department didn't follow city hall's footsteps, conducting its own official flag-raising ceremony on Monday, June 20, at police headquarters.Police chief Bill Sornberger announced that "the safety of every [community] member is paramount," Owen Sound Hub reports.Their pride flag will fly for the rest of the month.Join us as we celebrate the diversity of our city!

If ever there was an easier way to do it, it would be now.”Haswell said she was unhappy to hear that no city representatives attended a recent vigil for the Orlando shooting victims held in Owen Sound, especially since the mayor or other city officials are expected to appear at most public events. Sources confirm that they did not witness anyone at the vigil who went on behalf of Owen Sound City Council.“It’s disappointing that the mayor or council doesn’t have conviction to show leadership,” she said.Owen Sound City Council has previously ignored its own flag-flying policies. Council flew a flag for its "sister city" Miamisburg, Ohio, for six months. The flag’s existence was largely ignored, Owen Sound Hub publisher Anne Finlay-Stewart told HuffPost Canada.“If you polled people here, most would not know. It has no impact on people here,” Finlay-Stewart said. “Whereas, a pride flag says we actually support [LGBT] people here, who raise children and pay taxes.”Grey Bruce Pride chair MaryAnn Thomas pointed this out to council as precedent for a policy overhaul last year, however the council chose to uphold their stance.“I can’t think of an easier or open time in [the] history of this country, to hoist that flag. If ever there was an easier way to do it, it would be now.”Stevie Forbes-Roberts, an ARCH HIV/AIDS resources coordinator, told The Huffington Post Canada that the decision will have repercussions for Owen Sound’s queer and trans residents.“There’s a concern that because of what happened in Orlando, more youth will not be coming out and living with more self-internalized shame,” Stevie said. “Then there’s people who have been out their whole lives and live in Owen Sound. [They] deserve for city hall to recognize their identities.”While city hall won't see rainbow banners flapping overhead anytime soon, Owen Sound political representatives have spoken out about Pride Month.Mayor Ian Boddy acknowledged the Orlando shootings as he opened a city council meeting on June 13, and urged residents to attend Pride festivities.“People should not be persecuted for who they are, or who they love, what they do, what they come home to, what colour their skin is, where they live,” Boddy said. “Today I want to be clear that we stand with Orlando and with the worldwide LGBT community.”In an open letter to Owen Sound Hub, Owen Sound MP Larry Miller condemned the Orlando attacks as an act of “radical Islam.”Miller, an outspoken Conservative MP, had asked niqab-wearing Muslims to “stay the hell where you came from,” on a radio show debate during the last federal election.He had previously argued that the Liberal long gun registry was akin to policies approved by Adolf Hitler. Miller has since apologized for both statements.“People should not be persecuted for who they are, or who they love, what they do, what they come home to, what colour their skin is, where they live.”Owen Sound is not the only Canadian town to squabble with the pride flag. Since 2007, Truro, N.S. has officially banned flying the pride flag. However, the Orlando mass shooting led the town to fly the pride flag for the first time, and at half-mast.For Beecroft and others, the pride flag represents how, in a small way, their home respects them.“Flags are a real small thing. When you see your flag flying… it means you’re part of the city. You belong there,” Beecroft said. “And when there aren’t any at all, I think that’s a statement too.”
