Beaumaris on a typical Welsh morning!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

PLANS to stage next year\u2019s North Wales Mardi Gras in an Anglesey town have been rightly attacked by the leader of a local church, according to the Holyhead and Anglesey Mail<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Reverend Philip Evans, of Oasis Ministries in Beaumaris, said the event should not be held in the town as it was \u201ca promotion of gay rights\u201d.<\/p>\n

The organiser of the Mardi Gras, Alan Jones, responded: \u201cThe church has a right to object to the Mardi Gras and we respect their right to peaceful protest, but we will carry on regardless.\u00a0 We won\u2019t be put off and we won\u2019t be upset by the criticism.\u00a0 We will welcome them if they want to attend and will treat them civilly.”<\/p>\n

Gay parades are aggressive and intimidating<\/dd>\n<\/dl>\n

That would be a first.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe event does not promote homosexuality,\u201d\u00a0claimed Mr Jones, \u201cIt\u2019s an event for everyone which brings the gay community and the straight community together.\u201d<\/p>\n

That would be another first.\u00a0 Every Gay Pride and homosexual Mardi Gras is there to promote homosexuality and gay rights and to intimidate and de-sensitize ordinary people.\u00a0 The pictures on this page are of other ‘Pride’ or ‘Mardi Gras’ events in England and Wales.<\/p>\n

The event, said the paper,\u00a0is planned to take place from 27th to 29th April, 2012.\u00a0 For more information, they advised to visit www.northwalesmardigras.com<\/a>\u00a0which carries thanks to various ‘drag queens’ with indecent names and to two Anglesey hotels, Tre-Ysgawen Hall<\/a> at Capel Coch, Llangefni, and the Victoria Hotel<\/a> at\u00a0Menai Bridge.\u00a0 If the webpage is correct, these are venues to be avoided by decent people.<\/p>\n

Parading their sin - You would need a heart of stone not to weep for the poor souls caught up in sodomy.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Mr Evans is intending to lead an evangelistic witness at the Beaumaris Mardi Gras, if it goes ahead: \u201cWe think the best thing is for it not to take place, but we want to be there if it does,\u201d he said. \u201cHomosexuality is a choice people make and people can change.\u00a0 God would help them to be as He intended them to be.\u201d<\/p>\n

Christian Voice fully intends to stand with Mr Evans in a concerted evangelistic outreach and witness.\u00a0\u00a0Last April 2011, tucked away in the Mona Showground, the participants were isolated from any criticism or evangelism.\u00a0 Next year, the narrow streets of Beaumaris are perfect for preaching and one-to-one conversations, so we can share the good news of Jesus Christ, and let these sad and damaged people know that Jesus releases not just from the stain of sin but from the power of sin.\u00a0 Make a note of the date, all you evangelists out there!<\/p>\n
