On Thursday of last week we were in Enniskillen, a town in Northern Ireland, seeking signatures for our petition against a forthcoming “gay” pride parade planned for the town later this year. This will be the first pride parade ever in Enniskillen and we are determined to do all in our power to stop it, hence our petition.
We have been on the streets of Enniskillen two to three times most weeks since last September and have endured inclement weather, hostility and physical assault.
We were pleasantly surprised last Thursday to see a young man we recognised as a member of the Burke family from Castlebar, County Mayo in the Republic of Ireland. We felt sure young Mr Burke would be delighted to see us and our petition, and would offer his support by signing it.
He is from a family that describe themselves as Evangelical Christians and his brother is none other than Enoch Burke who is, according to media reports, languishing in Mountjoy prison for refusing to capitulate to the demands of the transgender lobby.
The young Mr Burke who was in Enniskillen last week did not sign our petition on that occasion saying he might sign “sometime” and instead plied us with questions about our church affiliation (we have none).
How strange and curious! We are attempting (with our petition) to defeat the very lobby/agenda (LGBT) that the Burkes hold responsible for the imprisonment of Enoch Burke yet he would not add his name to it.
Curiouser and curiouser!
