Scott Brockie: Read the Interim report detailing the Ontario Human Rights Commission decision against Scott Brockie which concluded that his "rights as a Christian were subordinate to those of homosexuals not to be discriminated against," and that "he must restrict the practice of Christianity to his home and church, and not take it with him into the public marketplace," at:

Harry Hammond: Shaun Tapper called the police and complained that he felt threatened and that Hammond was inciting people to attack homosexuals. As he made his speech the fundamentalist Christian was surrounded by 40 protesters who pelted him with soil and water. In the furore his 3ft sign fell and hit a protester on the head, causing a small cut.
The police arrested the preacher. He was fined �300 with �395 costs. The magistrates ordered that his placard be destroyed.
Did you really think that freedom and democracy would be dismantled by people who openly declared that they wanted censorship and tyranny? The new totalitarianism comes robed in righteous outrage, but it still holds a gag in its hand. http://www.issues-views.com/index.php/sect/24000/article/24037

A Swedish court has sentenced a pastor belonging to the Pentecostal movement in Sweden, Ake Green, to a month in prison, under a law against incitement, after he was found guilty of having offended homosexuals in a sermon.The prosecutor in the case, Kjell Yngvesson, justifies the arrest of Green: "One may have whatever religion one wishes, but this is an attack on all fronts against homosexuals. Collecting Bible citations on this topic as he (Green) does makes this hate speech."Sweden passed its hate speech statute in 2002, explicitly including "church sermons" as subject to the law's restrictions.The simple practice of reading biblical texts teaching the sinfulness of homosexuality is now against the law in Sweden.Soren Andersson president of Swedish Federation for Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual, and Transgender Rights (RFSL) "I cannot regard the sentence as an act of interference with freedom of religion."Here is the evidence that the logical jump from "hate crimes" legislation to codes against "hate speech" are small indeed.YOU ARE THE CRIMINAL HERE!HOMOsexuality should be considered an acceptable lifestyle or your going to jail!__________________________________________________
