Protest Underway at Trail's End Farmer's Market

9/24/2011

Londoners are protesting outside a local farmer's market today after an accusation of discrimination by the owners against the LGBT community.

A vendor at Trail's End Farmer's Market on Dundas was told to take her business elsewhere if she was going to continue to have transgender workers at her booth.

The protest today was organized by a woman who simply heard about the incident and was outraged.

A complaint has also been filed with the human rights commission.

    If you read the Bible, Yes Jesus preached also to the low of the low, but never did he preach about acceptance of sin. God is loving but he also Hates sin and will never accept it as "normal". Sin is sin. The Bible says in 1 Corinthians 6:9-10"Or do you not know that the unrightous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be decieved: Neither the sexualy immoral, nor idolators, nor adulterers, nor men who practise homosexuality, nor thieves, nor the greedy, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor swindlers will inherit the kingdom of God."Yes God preached to them but never would he "accept" their sin. He wanted them to turn from there sin and follow him. That is the only way to eternal life and true happiness. We are all sinners and in need of Gods forgiveness, which he gave to us by sending His Son Christ Jesus to die for all of us-This is available to all of us if we TURN away from our sins and follow him. This requires us giving up our sinful lifestyles. This means putting away sinful lusts and desires, not giving in to them. Why can't Ed Kikkert have a right to ask the three Men to dress accordingly-When they are running a booth dressed as women and are trying to get everyone to accept there sexual agenda. We don't have to accept there lifestyles as normal. I think Mr Kikkert had every right to ask them to dress accordingly to prevent causing people to feel uncomfortable? If they would have been dressed accordingly, and would have been there to sell there products, rather than there sexual agenda, I am sure there would never have been this issue.
