BC’s Sex Party Platform – Sex in Schools and Legalize Prostitution – Strangely Familiar

VANCOUVER, May 18, 2005 (LifeSiteNews.com) - Despite its near universality following the 1960’s, there are, apparently, still those for whom the total sex-saturation of modern culture – including all its recently legalized perversions – is insufficient. Now LifeSiteNews.com adds British Columbia’s Sex Party to its bulging “Weird Canada” files. The Sex Party declares their goal as the development of “a sex-positive culture.”

“Now there’s one for the department of redundancy department. Did I miss something? Haven’t we already got one of those?” quipped popular Ottawa Citizen columnist, David Warren.

The Sex Party’s website offers the electorate of BC the kind of platform planks that would make a Planned Parenthood president blush. Sex education in schools is to offer a ‘gradualist’ approach to hands-on practical, classroom training in sexual intercourse and other sexual activities. It would also, of course, work to eliminate the social stigma attached to homosexuality and prostitution as well as any restrictions on pornography.

David Warren suggested to LifeSiteNews.com, “Here’s a novel idea, why don’t we start a party for moral people and call it the “Married-People-Making-Babies-to-Save-the-Canada-Pension Party”? Now that might be of some practical use.”

The British system of Parliamentary democracy has traditionally spawned joke parties. Since the time of Samuel Johnson, sophomoric jabs have been made by pranksters with enough time and money to set themselves up as official parties to mock and deride the political process. In the recent British election, the voters looked to the Dungeons, Death and Taxes Party and the Church of the Militant Elvis for comic relief of their election-day blues. The Sex Party follows the tradition and proposes changing Victoria Day; a national holiday named for a woman who they say epitomized sexual repression, to “Eros Day.”

It is to be noted, however, how closely the policies of the Sex Party of BC are modeled on those already being implemented by the more respectable parties that regularly win elections and by the non-governmental organizations they support such as Planned Parenthood. The differences, for example, between the goals of the Sex Party and those of, say, Hedy Fry or former NDP wunderkind Svend Robinson, are strictly cosmetic. The Sex Party only distinguishes itself by declaring them publicly.

The party fully supports, for example, one of the Liberal Party’s pet projects to legalize prostitution and organize state-regulated bordellos. In fact, apart from their forthright style of presentation, the Sex Party’s platform is merely a reiteration of the policies regarding abortion, homosexuality, life and family, of most major parties in Canada. Their programme to achieve a sex-positive culture is to “change our education system, repeal sex-negative laws and regulations, support sex-positive community,” a programme that will sound tediously familiar to pro-family activists who have struggled against Canada’s moral decay for decades.
