Stonewall’s Revised Version of Christianity

by Andrew Tettenborn, The Conservative Woman:

An interesting feature of the LGBT support group Stonewall is its propensity for social climbing. Once a counter-cultural ginger group named after a Greenwich Village cafe, it is now well-established as adviser by appointment to the establishment. Indeed, it is all too familiar with the values of that establishment. Places on its courses run regularly up and down the country on such things as homophobic language and trans-inclusive schools, not to mention ‘train the trainer’, are available for only £200 + VAT per person for non-profits, itself a big discount on the rate of £399 charged to commercial organisations avid to satisfy a corporate conscience.

You might have thought that this slightly pushy organisation would have some trouble with organised religion. Not a bit of it. Caroline Farrow on TCW pointed out at the end of last year that it had managed to infiltrate religious schools, courtesy of well-meaning Christians desperate to avoid giving offence. Thus a Church of England report targeted at faith schools and aimed at suppressing traditional ideas of marriage and child-rearing turned out to have been partly written by two senior Stonewall executives, who needless to say did not identify themselves as such. At the same time the Catholic Education Service’s guidance for its own schools on the issue of LGBT matters equally transpired to have been largely copied from Stonewall’s own literature. And a couple of years ago a 98 per cent Muslim school in Luton was gleefully reported at a Stonewall educational conference to have accepted a head of RE openly determined to question Muslim family morality at every opportunity.

But why infiltrate when you can claim support from the very top? In a bizarre Guardian article last week, Stonewall CEO Ruth Hunt (who, to be fair, professes the Catholic faith) claimed that none other than Pope Francis was on Stonewall’s side. The Pope had reportedly told a gay man and clerical abuse victim: ‘God made you like this and loves you like this.’ This phrase Ms Hunt joyfully interpreted as showing that His Holiness had cast off his fuddy-duddy difficulties with gay sex and now supported the Stonewall view that all sexualities were equal and should be celebrated. This episode is worth looking at, if only for the light it throws on the Stonewall attitude to both truth and logic.
