The PC crowd has no tolerance for hate literature.
No ACLU in Canada, remember. Either the Evangelist will choose fines and jail
(and jail is frequent in some countries like China) or he will find other ways
to bring the gospel to the people.

Bill Whatcott
CBC file
photo | In 2002, four people filed complaints against Bill Whatcott
and a group called the Christian Truth Activists. They
objected to pamphlets distributed in Regina and Saskatoon that
referred to homosexual men as "sodomites" and called same-sex
relationships "filthy". One of the flyers said: "Sodomites are 430
times more likely to acquire AIDS and three times more likely to
sexually abuse children!" Brendan
Wallace, one of the complainants, testified in 2002 he was angry and
fearful as a result of receiving the material at his home.

Tribunal: Wallace et al vs.
Whatcott

| "Initially he thought it was
a personal attack on his partner and himself," the tribunal decision
said. "He related some of his life experiences as a gay man and
wondered how others would react, including members of his own
family." Whatcott has been ordered to pay $17,500 to Wallace and the
three other complainants for hurt feelings and loss of dignity and
self-respect. And the tribunal has ruled that Whatcott and his group
can no longer distribute material that promotes hatred against
people because of their sexual orientation. On Thursday, Wallace
said he was pleased the tribunal agreed spreading this kind of
material is wrong, but he doubts Whatcott's group will stop. "Only
two weeks ago, we received some similar hate mail distributed to our
house from the same man and the same group," he said. Whatcott could
not be reached for comment. |
