The mayor of Regina, Saskatchewan, Canada -- the provincial capital -- has declared June 18 Heterosexual Family Pride Day. The proclamation states: -"Whereas the intact heterosexual family unit is ordained by God as clearly revealed in the Holy Bible (Gen 2:23, 24 Matt 19:4-6); and whereas large bodies of research support the conclusion that intact heterosexual families provide an excellent nurturing environment for children; and whereas many believe that intact heterosexual families provide a necessary source of stability that benefits society as a whole; and whereas intact heterosexual family units provide much needed stability and moral direction for children and young adults; and whereas intact heterosexual families provide sexual satisfaction for the men and women who are committed to them; and whereas when monogamy is practiced, the husbands and wives who enjoy sexual relations in the confines of their heterosexual marriage have no reason to worry about STDs, AIDS or broken hearts. Now therefore I, Pat Fiacco, Mayor of the City of Regina, do hereby proclaim Monday, June 18, 2001, as Heterosexual Family Pride Day in Regina, and in issuing this proclamation, ask our citizens to recognize this day."
