A photo of the sign went viral after it was posted on social-media website Reddit.
Lynne Marchant, the rector at St. John's, told Canada's The Niagara Falls Review that the female member of the church in charge of putting messages on the sign has been “overwhelmed” and “flabbergasted” by the attention the simple message has received.
“I think one of the parishioners had sent it to her,” Marchant said of the message.
“I don't find it offensive in any way,” she said. “It has done a lot of healing by those who may feel slighted by the church.”
“We have people in our congregation who are homosexual. We are an all-inclusive church, a family. No one cares what your sexuality is. Come on in, we don't see any difference,” she added.

The sign just goes to show the difference between Canada and the US.
Same sex marriage has been legal in parts of Canada for 10 years and in all of Canada for 7 years.
And the sky has not yet fallen!
Homosexuality has been legal since 1968 and the gay/straight ratio in Canadian society is about the same as in other countries.
So much for the "gay agenda".
My Toronto city councillor is lesbian, my Member of Provincial Parliament is gay and the Premier of Ontario is lesbian.
And . . .it matters not one bit to most of us in Ontario or Canada!
Live and let live!
