‘It’s homophobic’: Gay activists target flag bearing Christian cross
By Pete Baklinski, LifeSite:
A pro-family critic is saying homosexual activists have displayed their intolerance and bigotry towards Christianity in denouncing the raising of a Christian flag outside Newfoundland’s Confederation Building.
St. Stephen the Martyr Anglican Network Church asked the government to raise the Christian flag to mark Easter week, where Christians commemorate the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ.
The white flag contains a blue box with a red cross inside. The white represents Jesus’ purity, the blue the waters of baptism, and the red the blood that Jesus shed to save sinners.
Premier Dwight Ball, who has participated in pride parades and various pride flag raisings, told reporters that when the Christian church first asked permission to fly the flag, no one saw it as a problem.
“The request came in asking to fly the Christian flag during Easter Week, during Holy Week. That request was granted,” he said. “This was about being tolerant and open to the views of all people in the province.”
But when the flag appeared on the courtesy flag pole beside Confederation Building, homosexual activists and supporters were outraged.
