Bio
CLC rating: Caution
Rating Comments: On September 9, 2020, Ottawa City Council passed a biased and unjust Motion, co-sponsored by pro-LGBT members Mayor Jim Watson and Councillor Catherine McKenney, to "formally denounce" the practice of Conversion Therapy and to urge higher levels of government to ban this helpful therapeutic practice. Conversion Therapy -- better described as Reparative Therapy -- is a form of traditional talk therapy designed to help individuals who request assistance to overcome unwanted gender identity confusion and same-sex attraction. Ottawa City Council's condemnation of such beneficial therapy demonstrates a totalitarian attitude that seeks to impose the LGBT agenda on everyone, and especially on children who are vulnerable to indoctrination through LGBT-pushing sex education in schools. The condemnation also presents an implicit and ominous threat to those who defend and teach key Christian principles on human sexuality, including public prayer and evangelization to call LGBT practitioners out of a sinful lifestyle. Although the reckless Motion passed unanimously, and all members of Council were in attendance at the meeting, it is unknown if Councillor Brockington was actually in the chamber for the specific vote on the Motion itself, though that is extremely likely.
