Then the gays should probably cease their hate attacks against an identifiable group.
Christians.

I hope our Brothers and Sisters in Canada defy this nonsensical garbage. They will be better for it in the long run if they do.

[Paul Atreides]

Confessing his crime at a tearful press conference, Mr. Robinson dabbed his eyes with tissue and explained that he'd "just snapped" under stress.

I hear the same happened to Judy Garland, and Liza Minelli.

[Paul Atreides]

And, it will be extended to private conversations, before long.

Christians.

Considering some of the things in the Bible, I doubt it is still legal to be a christian in Kanukistan.
It is almost certainly illegal to print or import bibles.

Evil hates good....Evil is so malajusted and deranged it drives men so insane and filled with hate that they would beat up on decent people engaged in peacefull activity screaming at them and calling them 'evil....and full of hate'....

It is the same kind of evil that drove the men of Sodom insane..so much so that when Lot was entertaining God's messengers the men of Sodom tried to break down Lot's doors demanding that Lot turn over his heavenly guests that the men of Sodom might 'Sodomize' them...

Lot refused....my guess is the men from Sodom began to rail against Lot ...calling him evil and full of hate ..that he would deny them what they considered (in their insane and deluded states) "their right" to sodomize anyone they felt like...

The bible states.. "Woe unto men when they call evil good and good evil"

"Before C-250 it was already illegal to publish, distribute, mail, import, or speak any communication that could be perceived as promoting or inciting "hate" against "identifiable groups,"

They are pretty close to making it illegal to criticize a political "group."

[Darksheare]

YIKES!

[Phosgood]

"And, it will be extended to private conversations, before long"

And then private thoughts!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[muawiyah]

Looks like you're on to something. No doubt the politicians have that on their minds.

The Communists must be proud.

See items 26 and 27:

26) Present Homosexuality, degeneracy, and promiscuity as "normal, natural, and healthy".

27) Infiltrate the churches and replace revealed religion with "social" religion. Discredit the Bible and emphasize the need for intellectual maturity, which does not need a "religious crutch"

This legislation the gayest thing I have ever heard.

Better not criticize it. ;)

[Republic If You Can Keep It]

And, it will be extended to private conversations, before long.

Yes. The progression is predictable: "hate literature".....followed by "hate speech"......followed by "hate thought"....

People deserve the government they vote in.

[Red Boots]

limiting opinions to private conversation

I guess this means sermons are out...

[Paul Atreides]

Just think: If you and a friend are discussing The Bible, express a disapproval of homosexuality, and a member of the Fainting Couch Club overhears, you get sent to Room 101.

And then to the US.

Wow.

This makes me feel prouder than ever to be an American.

" dozen masked men wearing military camouflage burst into a Christian meeting at a Calgary, Alberta, hotel. They beat sticks together, hoisted signs, and roared slogans, "

I've never heard of gay rights groups trying that in a southern Church.

"It is the same kind of evil that drove the men of Sodom insane..so much so that when Lot was entertaining God's messengers the men of Sodom tried to break down Lot's doors demanding that Lot turn over his heavenly guests that the men of Sodom might 'Sodomize' them..."

It is really quite unbelievable what happened... Lot even offered his daughters to these men of Sodom, to keep them away from the angels from God, it was so vile.... and then after God provides a way for Lot and his family, after everything they see, the angels say do not look back, and still his wife turns and looks back still desiring the evil behind her instead of the salvation that is ahead of her.

The 1966 film, The Bible, with George C Scott, Ava Gardner, Peter OToole is excellent and 'covers' the historical events of the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah in great depth and leaves quite an impression - an excellent movie. Maybe we could start shipping this movie by the thousands into Canada for them to see before someone tries to ban it. That these fines are actually being paid is UNREAL!!! WHY???
