A Canadian anti-gay writer who believes gay sex is unhealthy, and it would be hateful of Christians not to warn gays they are headed for hell, is in New Zealand to share his bleatings against marriage equality. John-Henry Westen from LifeSiteNews will speak on "Same Sex Marriage and the Threat to Religious Freedom – The Canadian Experience" in Wellington on Thursday, 11 April at St Anne’s Parish Hall, in Newtown, and again in Auckland on Sunday, 14 April, at Liston Hall. He is being brought to New Zealand by the conservative Catholic group Family Life International. In a piece on his site last month, Westen asked “Do we love those inclined to homosexuality enough to stop same-sex ‘marriage’?” He wrote: “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. “Our bodies were not designed for that behaviour, and our anatomy itself gives that testimony. The negative mental and physical health consequences that flow from homosexual sex are many and the medical evidence pointing to them is readily available on LifeSiteNews. “ Westen continued: “But beyond the physical and psychological damage the homosexual lifestyle causes, there are also the spiritual costs, which can be eternal … But if you believe in the eternal consequences for sexual sin, you cannot stay silent. To do so would in fact be a true act of hate.” He finished: “So, do we love people inclined to homosexual sex enough to tell them that it’s bad for them, even though telling them that is socially awkward? Enshrining same-sex ‘marriage’ is putting society’s stamp of approval on homosexual sex. Do we love those with homosexual tendencies enough to stop it?”
