Canadian Man Faces 2 Years in Prison for Passing Out Jesus Saves Pamphlets at Gay Pride Parade

A Christian bus driver in Toronto has been charged with a "hate crime" for distributing pamphlets saying homosexuality can lead to diseases and that Jesus can save gay people if they repent.

Bill Whatcott "distributed anti-gay material which promoted hatred toward the gay community," Toronto Police Service said in a statement, adding that he was arrested in Calgary and later returned to Toronto.

The 51-year-old Christian man was charged with "willful promotion of hatred against an identifiable group, namely the gay community."

The pamphlets he allegedly distributed said homosexuality is associated with sexually transmitted diseases, including HPV of the rectum, which the U.S. Centers for Disease Control says is true, according to The Federalist.

It’s only a matter of time before prison terms are handed out to us Christians who believe in Christ only (John 14:6).

Religious liberty, free speech, freedom of assembly...

Canada has nothing to address these fundamental rights?

I don’t see any statements that are not true - too bad it’s Canada and not the US, otherwise Trump could pardon him.

"willful promotion of hatred against an identifiable group, namely the ____________." Fill in the blank--anything could go there. Canada has become the proverbial canary in the coal mine on this: “If there are no absolutes by which to judge society, then society is absolute.” Francis Schaeffer, How Shall We Then Live? (Old Tappan NJ: Fleming H Revell Company, 1976), p. 224.

“Religious liberty, free speech, freedom of assembly...

We have a “constitution” written by none other than Papa-Doc Trudeau himself that guarantees nothing but judge-created radical progressivism.

Pray for us, it’s all we have left.

Paul was stoned to death, dragged outside the city, and when encircle by the Apostles, stood up fully alive (Acts 14:19-20).

I think we can handle this persecution.

Intellectual exercise. If a Muslim man had is eight year old daughter’s clitoris removed in Toronto, how much time would he serve?

26. Present homosexuality, degeneracy and promiscuity as “normal, natural, healthy.”

If the pamphlets and the defendant didn’t encourage actual hatred or the promotion thereof towards the sexually deviant, then the charges should be dropped. Of course, the chances of leftist jurists ever considering disagreement with their pet causes equating with anything less than hatred are nil.

My goodness, a man stands up for the truth - and love for neighbor, and he gets sentenced to jail.
Given the every increasing, and grasping, power of the Sodomite lobby - it may not be long before Christians in this Nation also face jail time for quoting the Bible, and trying to encourage sinners to turn, or burn.

Eze 18:30b ... Repent, and turn yourselves from all your transgressions; so iniquity shall not be your ruin.
Eze 18:31 Cast away from you all your transgressions, whereby ye have transgressed; and make you a new heart and a new spirit: for why will ye die, O house of Israel?
Eze 18:32 For I have no pleasure in the death of him that dieth, saith the Lord GOD: wherefore turn yourselves, and live ye.

Supposing he was dead. Ie they thought he was dead. He may not actually have been dead. Either way, him standing up afterwards after the apostles gathered around him, no doubt to pray for him to be restored, is a healing miracle.

How much time do you get for passing out Gay Pride pamphlets at a Jesus Saves parade?

Oh, I see, it’s not a “hate crime” if some Progressive/Post-Modernist who hates every tradition of western culture that existed prior to he-she-its birth does something to intentionally cause offense is it?

Things ought to really get interesting when these leftists manage to tear down our western governments which are the only thing protecting them from the consequences of their hypocritical malevolence towards everyone else.

“Canadian Man Faces 2 Years in Prison for Passing Out Jesus Saves Pamphlets at Gay Pride Parade”

Time for armed and clever Americans to make raids into Canada to free their Christian brothers.

There's obviously no 1st Amendment in Canada.
