Massive March in Puerto Rico Protests Plan to Permit Homosexual Civil
Unions

By LifeSiteNews.com staff

SAN JUAN, June 29, 2007 (LifeSiteNews.com) - Two weeks ago 20,000
Puerto Ricans took to the streets in San Juan to protest legislation
seeking to permit homosexual civil unions. Coalicion de la Familia,
the island's largest pro-family organization, organized the march and
rally and invited US pro-family activist David Parker to speak to the
crowd.

In April, 2005, David Parker of Massachusetts was arrested and brought
to jail after protesting the refusal of school officials to notify him
when homosexuality or transgenderism was to be discused with his son
in kindergarten. The incident made national news in America, and the
continued refusal of Lexington, MA school officials to allow parental
notification has brought on a federal civil rights lawsuit from the
Parkers and another family.

The march, rally, and Parker's appearance were covered extensively by
all five of Puerto Rico's TV stations, three radio stations,
newspapers and other media.

Parker warned the citizens that elevating homosexual behavior to a
status equivalent to marriage would bring a flood of homosexual books,
lessons, and other indoctrination into the schools - as has happened
in Massachusetts.

"You must have zero tolerance for this," said Parker, "or they will be
marketing sodomy to your children. No one has to tolerate state
officials invading familial privacy, denigrating faith, and dictating
their contorted view of 'morality' to impressionable children behind
the backs of parents. We will continue defending the innocence of
children and our parental rights to guide their upbringing -- as long
as it takes."

During the rally on the steps of the Capitol a group of Legislative
leaders who had not been previously invited, and who were not known
for supporting the pro-family position, spoke to the crowd promising
to stop the measure from moving forward.
