Again the facts don't fit your story, you do live in Canada, don't you?

http://www.worldnetdaily.com/news/article.asp?ARTICLE_ID=31080 The ad's theme was that the Bible says no to homosexual behavior. It listed the references to four Bible passages, Romans 1, Leviticus 18:22, Leviticus 20:13 and 1 Corinthians 6:9-10 on the left side. An equal sign was placed between the verse references and a drawing of two males holding hands overlaid with the universal nullification symbol � a red circle with a diagonal bar.

"the advertisement can objectively be seen as exposing homosexuals to hatred or ridicule."

http://www.worldnetdaily.com/news/article.asp?ARTICLE_ID=38268

opponents have feared if it becomes law, the Bible will be deemed "hate literature" under the criminal code

The Vancouver Sun reported that bill C-250: "has been described by some Alliance MPs and religious groups as a 'fascist' measure that could criminalize anyone for reading quotes on homosexuality from the Bible or the Koran."

 

Then of course their is the recent $17,000 fine for literature with Bible verses in it. Seems so far the law as applied is just ANTI BIBLE

Canada is very tolerant of religious teaching. Saying that the bible
prohibits homosexuality and that the bible calls homosexuality a sin is not
hate. Nor is sayiing that in church. People can talk about many things from
the holocaust to Islam without crossing the line into hate speech. It's hate
when an Iman tells his people to bomb Christians. It's hate whenever someone
incites others to harm another group because they are of a different
religion, race or sexual orientation.
