COLUMBUS, Ohio, Sept. 9 /Christian Newswire/ -- Traditional families, especially children, will be harmed if California forces its sexual deviance on the rest of America, says Linda Harvey of Mission America.
Harvey joins other pro-family groups later this month in San Francisco to protest and expose the Folsom Street Fair, a public street orgy which includes sado-masochism, full nudity and homosexuality. They will also discuss the urgent need to pass Proposition 8, the ballot initiative upholding traditional marriage.
The event falls on Sunday, September 28, following "Leather Pride Week." The alleged crowd estimate of 400,000 has no age restrictions, merely warnings about the "adult oriented nature" of activities. Last year, children were observed in the crowd where they could witness, for example, bare-bottomed men being whipped.
"There's one big question: why?" said Harvey. "How can Mayor Newsom, city officials and even House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (who represents San Francisco) tolerate disturbed people publicly displaying this deviance as police stand by and do nothing to stop it?
"California's unsustainable sexual license is not an export we welcome in middle America," said Harvey. "We don't want same sex 'marriage' legalized, nor to have our children taught to praise homosexuality, as California children now must do after the passage of SB 777 and AB 394. And we don't want naked people having sex in our streets." Under the new laws, children must be taught favorable viewpoints about homosexuality and transgenderism. Other opinions are banned.
If Proposition 8 fails -- and Democrats like Nancy Pelosi and Barack Obama succeed in their stated goal of repealing the federal Defense of Marriage Act -- all states could be forced under the Full Faith and Credit Clause of the U.S. Constitution to recognize homosexual 'marriages' legalized by a CA court ruling in May.
Joining Mission America for the protest are Americans for Truth, American Family Association of Pennsylvania, the St. Joseph Men's Society and other concerned groups.
"The 'corruption footprint' of California is staggering," Harvey stated. "Sadly, San Francisco is a dying city discarding its children. Its only hope is the 'offset' provided by the fresh air of California's traditional, caring families. Hopefully, these families will turn this state around and spare the rest of America from the polluting effects of California's moral decay."
