John-Henry Westen Public Talk in Wellington Flyer (504 KB)

John Henry Westen has written in a recent article entitled:

Do we love those inclined to homosexuality enough to stop same-sex ‘marriage’?

In this battle over same-sex ‘marriage’ it often sounds like those pushing the dismantling of traditional marriage have the upper hand in terms of love. ‘You are opposed to love!’; ‘How does the love between me and my partner affect you in your marriage?’; ‘Why can’t I be allowed to love whomever I choose?’

These are the tough arguments from ‘love’ facing those who are fighting to protect marriage from radical redefinition.

In truth, however, love is the principle reason to fight same-sex ‘marriage.’

You see, law is a teacher and enshrining same-sex ‘marriage’ in law would lead many people to believe that homosexual sexual relations are equal to those of heterosexual married couples.  The difficulty, of course, is that while sexual acts between heterosexual married couples can be totally healthy and positive, the same can never be said of sexual acts between persons of the same sex, whether they happen within a relationship given the name “marriage” or not.

Liston Hall • 30-32 Hobson Street • Auckland City

Proposed Adoption Legislation Discriminates Against Traditional Families

May 30, 2012 by SPCS Leave a Comment

In a Press Release issued yesterday, Family Life International NZ, a registered charity with the Charities Commission, has criticised proposed adoption legislation. The Charity was registered on 28 April 2008 (Reg. No. CC23462)

PROPOSED ADOPTION LEGISLATION DISCRIMINATES
AGAINST TRADITIONAL FAMILIES

It has become extremely difficult for married couples, husbands and wives, to adopt a child in New Zealand. Those approaching adoption services to seek information on how they can become adoptive parents in this country are actually steered towards “lifetime fostering” or legal guardianship only. There is a distinctive anti-adoption attitude and policy coming from the only accepted legal and political adoption service in New Zealand.

We applaud Prime Minister John Key for having “great sympathy” for those wanting to adopt. However he is seriously misguided in his support for adoption legislation being radically changed for same sex couples, even if it is only for the initial reading of that legislation. He declared on national television that as long as the child is loved it doesn’t matter what the sexual orientation of the parents is. This is another anti-traditional family move by the government, lawmakers, and decision makers in this country to break down the traditional and natural family of mother, father and children.

New Green MP Kevin Hague likely to promote anti-family policies says Director of Family Life International – NZ

November 13, 2008 by SPCS 4 Comments

November 10, 2008 by Brendan Malone Director Family Life International – NZ

[Family Life International – a Catholic pro-life organisation – was registered as a charity with the Charities Commission on 28 April 2008 (Reg. No. CC23462)].

Well we have a new government, but while all the attention has been focusing on John Key and the National party, the latest member of the Green party to make it into parliament has received very little attention.

His name is Kevin Hague, and he will be a concern for those of us who care about marriage and family issues in NZ.

Firstly, he is the former head of the NZ AIDS Foundation – a gay lobby group [and registered charity] that has been responsible for some of the most immoral and obscene “safe” sex campaigns in NZ (one recent campaign even involved a website which gave tips on “cruising” – the practice of meeting strangers in public places for anonymous homosexual sex).

Secondly, in a recent interview with GAYNZ.com he stated that he considers the following issues a priority for his time in parliament…

1. Gay adoption
2. Full gay marriage
3. “Resourcing” for gay youth groups
4. Removing the right of NZ schools to say no to gay activist groups like Rainbow Youth

Remember the Greens already have Metiria Turei back again – the Green MP who has a bill to legalise gay adoption in NZ, and who lists “anarchist activism” as one of the aspects of her life experience over the last 20 years.

Make no mistake about it, Hague is an MP who is almost certainly going to be of concern to those of us who care about marriage and family issues in this country.
