SYED JAWED ANWAR

[Inspiration:  â€œYou are the best of peoples, evolved for mankind, enjoining what is right, forbidding what is wrong, and believing in God.”-Al-Quran: 3:110]

Sunday, 28th June was Gay Pride Day. My city Toronto celebrated it, according to media:  â€œCrowds” estimated in the hundreds of thousands lined up at Toronto's Yonge Street to watch the parade which was themed "Come out and Play.” “Cold temperatures and a constant drizzle didn't seem to cool celebrations at Toronto's 35th annual Pride Parade as prominent politicians and celebrities were on hand for what has traditionally been the largest event of its kind in the country.”

Among those marched in Sunday's parade were newly elected Ontario Progressive Conservative (PC) leader Patrick Brown and Toronto Mayor John Tory (PC), federal NDP Leader Thomas Mulcair, Liberal Leader Justin Trudeau, Ontario Premier Kathleen Wynne who is openly gay. Many others included Bollywood actress and Indian gay rights supporter Celina Jaitly also attended the event.

Conservative Mr. Tory wore a shirt that said “Proud Mayor,” in rainbow letters, a heart replacing the “o.”

Rev. Brent Hawkes, the pastor at Metropolitan Community Church of Toronto, Peel Regional Police and Toronto Fire Service participated in the parade.

Politicians and leaders can’t afford to miss this “largest event” of the country except Rob Ford, ex Mayor of Toronto City. Mr. Ford routinely abstained from the event during his four years tenure in the Mayor office of Toronto.​ All other politicians of the city surrendered to the desires of organized LGBT minority.

Although, majorly of crowds participate in the parade just for fun; “come out and play” but it is the fact that a large number of people surrendered and accepted this public show off “indecency” (the most polite word I can use). Shaitan is busy in altering Allah (swt) most beautiful creation; human beings. He has been triumphant in doing so because there is no objection, nor a voice rose against it.

Individuals (of all faiths), who were watching, kept their silence, not objecting, nor raising their voice against this menace (perverted life style) indicate they are supporting this unnatural lifestyle. I feel an obligation to record my disagreement on the register of this matter. Not only is it shameful but it is against humanity. It is against all the moral ethics of all ages, nations, era, religions and all cultures of the world.

Promoting Gay life style and “Pride Days” means;

1. It is waging war against human nature.
2. It is waging war against the society.
3. It is waging war against the family.
4. It is waging war against the human race.
5. It is waging war against human existence.

That was not a “pride” day. That was day of shame on the forehead of humanity.
