Accept Gay Marriage or Die!
This is pretty terrible. You think that gay advocacy groups will stop at nothing to get their way? Well get this.
The European Union’s Committee on “gay rights” has demanded that all foreign aid to Nigeria be suspended after that country’s House of Representatives voted to prohibit attempts to create legal “gay marriage.”
Mind you, Nigeria depends on foreign aid to battle high rates of "HIV/AIDS, infant mortality, infectious diseases such as typhoid fever, malaria and yellow fever, Lassa fever and meningococcal meningitis" according to Lifesite.
So, because Nigeria is holding to their religious beliefs, this "gay rights" group wants to commit millions to death.
So next time someone's arguing with you about tolerance, drop that one on them. What they mean by tolerance is that you do what they say. They cry for compassion while acting like tyrants.

I choose death.
I second the martyrdom vote.
When are we Christians going to develop a backbone? Why do we let them browbeat us into submission? Irenaeus was a man of courage, not a bishop worried about what others might think. it is easy for us to let others be martyred when we should be holding to our beliefs AND demanding that justice be done to those in danger of death due to the withholding of medical aid.
Blockading a country, which is what they are advocating, is nothing less than a form of war.
Father Seamus, well said. The difference between truth and lies is that with the truth men are prepared to give up their lives to witness to it. With lies men are prepared to kill to impose it. This gay rights group is proposing a strategy akin to nothing short of the numerous murderous lying bullies that have blighted human history.
Yes, you are quite right we must fight it.
I third the vote for martyrdom.
What is your source for this story?
Well, since Obama wants to rescind the US ban on funding NGO's that provide abortions, there will definitely be more deaths in Africa in the very near future. Very sad.
Hmmm...an organization of a primarily white region trying to force the hand of a country with darker-hued people.
What is your source for this story?
I was wondering that as well, but it is lifesite that he links, but is kinda hard to spot at first glance.
Scott,
Thanks!!!
I had only had one cup of coffee when I first read the piece. My vision improves dramatically with each cup of coffee ;-)
For another example of the intolerance of the gay rights lobby, look at this story on Fr Finnigan's blog: http://the-hermeneutic-of-continuity.blogspot.com/2009/01/dictatorship-of-relativism-in-action.html
Kinda twisted, that you're going after someone that wants people to be treated like humans, for wanting to stop foreign aid to people who aren't really going along with things you want anyway, what with the high aids rate and all. Aids doesn't spread through mosquitoes, and a marriage doesn't spread aids to more than one person. But wait, how does the original person in the marriage get aids in the first place?
At the end of the day, you've got to stop the hypocracy and either want everyone to have everything or noone to have nothing.
Funny - it seems okay for countries to boycott other countries when we don't agree with their governments. What has the United States done for Cuba lately? Seems that we say it is all about rights in that case. Why can't we fight for rights of gay people especially in Africa where many of them are threated with death just for being gay?
It will be interesting to see the European "take" on gay marriage in about 20 years when they are all living under the Caliphate--the fruits of having abandoned Christianity and contracepted themselves out of existence.
Blockading a country, which is what they are advocating, is nothing less than a form of war.
Suspending foreign aid is not the same as a blockade. Now, if the EU were to treat Nigeria like the U.S. treats Cuba or Iran ... that would be an act of war.
In general, I say foreign aid - no, charity and trade - yes.
Isn't this called "ethnocentrism"?
Of course I believe the NIgerians are correct, and the Europeans are wrong in this matter.
In matters in which I believe Europeans are correct, such as the wrongness of female circumcision, I am perfectly content to be "ethnocentric."
However I thought that ethnocentrism was a big no-no for liberals. I guess the gay agenda trumps all.
And anonymous 642 pm, I don't think "gay people" have any rights qua "gay people." They have the same human rights as other people. Which includes the right of any male to marry a willing female and vice versa, but which does not include the right to call an intrinsically nonprocreative relationship involving a simulation of normal sex by the name of marriage.

Per usual, Lifesite's hysteria trumps fact and common sense. Nigeria is nowhere near "gay marriage," as it is still illegal to be gay in that country.
