Crossroads<\/a> is in Uganda<\/a> helping to \u201cdig wells, build latrines and promote hygiene\u201d. CIDA<\/a> has given Crossroads $544,813 of taxpayer money to help with the effort – a rare case of the effective application of foreign aid.<\/p>\n

Now, Crossroads is a Christian organisation \u2013 a real one \u2013 so it regards homosexual activity as sinful, making this donation of taxpayer dollars a paradigm of political incorrectness, a heinous atrocity of cosmic proportions.<\/p>\n

Who cares that Crossroads is doing a good job and is actually helping Ugandans? No-one in the mainstream media, it seems because the horror of calling homosexuality a sin is a far bigger outrage than an African without clean drinking water. In the deranged little world of liberals, LGBT crusaders and mainline church sympathisers, this is known as social justice.<\/i><\/p>\n

The time is coming when to be a Christian in the West will amount to being a pariah, persona non grata – as welcome as a leper in a kindergarten. Perhaps the time has already come: the question is, will our society – and Ugandans – be better or worse off for it?<\/p>\n

From here<\/a>:<\/p>\n

An evangelical organization that describes homosexuality as a “perversion” and a “sin” is receiving funding from the Government of Canada for its work in Uganda, where gays and lesbians face severe threats.<\/p>\n

The federal government has denounced virulent homophobia in that East African country and Foreign Affairs Minister John Baird has condemned plans for an anti-gay bill that could potentially include the death penalty for homosexuals.<\/p>\n

Nevertheless, the federal government is providing $544,813 in funding for Crossroads Christian Communications \u2014 an Ontario-based evangelical group that produces television programming \u2014 to help dig wells, build latrines and promote hygiene awareness in Uganda through 2014.<\/p>\n

Until Tuesday, the organization’s website carried a list of “sexual sins” deemed to be “perversion”: “Turning from the true and\/or proper purpose of sexual intercourse; misusing or abusing it, such as in pedophilia, homosexuality and lesbianism, sadism, masochism, transvestism, and bestiality.”<\/p>\n

Lower down the page, the group asks sinners to “repent.”<\/p>\n

“God cares too much for you (and all of His children) to leave such tampering and spiritual abuse unpunished,” according to the group’s website.<\/p>\n

Just hours after The Canadian Press contacted the group to ask a spokesperson about the site, the page in question disappeared from public view.<\/p>\n

Steve Foster, president of the Quebec LGBT Council, said the federal government should stop funding groups like Crossroads.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

For those interested in the Crossroads page that vanished, here it is<\/a>, unexpurgated, complete with the indescribable abomination of Bible references:<\/p>\n
