(OPINION) In an act that should alarm every freedom-loving Canadian, a government-funded LGBT activist organization has launched a campaign to create a blacklist of conservative churches and other religious communities that hold fast to biblical truths about sexuality.
The group, Rainbow Faith and Freedom, claims their agenda is one of “inclusion” and “welcome.” But make no mistake–this is not about inclusion.
This is about control, coercion, and the outright marginalization of Christians who refuse to bow the knee to radical gender ideology.
This campaign, cloaked in the language of tolerance, is anything but tolerant. According to their own published manifesto, Rainbow Faith and Freedom is developing a “rating system” to measure how well churches and other religious groups “welcome” and “include” members of the 2SLGBTQ+ community.
That may sound harmless to some ears, but their own language reveals the true intent: to transform religious belief and eradicate what they deem “religious-based discrimination.”
Translation: if your church preaches that God created male and female, upholds the biblical view of marriage as between one man and one woman, or teaches that sexual sin is real and destructive–then you’re on the list.
You are marked. You are targeted. And you are publicly shamed for your convictions.
Let’s call this what it is: ideological blackmail.
And what’s even more appalling is that this movement is being funded by the federal government–by your tax dollars.
In 2022, Rainbow Faith and Freedom received $400,000 for a project aimed at “ending religious-based discrimination.”
In 2024, they received nearly half a million dollars more to go after faith-based senior care facilities.
These are not random fringe grants–this is systematic funding for a targeted campaign to monitor, shame, and ultimately silence biblically faithful churches.
This is not only a dangerous breach of religious freedom; it is a direct violation of the Charter rights that every Canadian should hold dear.
It’s no longer enough for radical activists to be accepted–they now demand that every belief system be conformed to their ideology. This is tyranny dressed in rainbow robes.
Let’s be absolutely clear: Bible-believing Christians do not hate anyone. We preach the truth in love. We serve the poor, feed the hungry, house the homeless, and care for the sick.
The Christian church has been one of the greatest forces for compassion and mercy the world has ever known. It was Christians who built the hospitals.
Christians who fought for the abolition of slavery. Christians who opened their arms to the orphan and the widow. And today, it is Christians–often quietly and without fanfare–who operate food banks, shelters, and crisis centers across Canada. CONTINUE
