TORONTO, November 21, 2019 (LifeSiteNews) — Pastor David Lynn is scrambling to find a home in downtown Toronto for his congregation after the city abruptly kicked his missionary church out of a municipal recreation center for alleged “hate activity.”
The founder of Christ’s Forgiveness Ministries received an email October 10 from Aydin Sarrafzadeh, manager of aquatics, “immediately” revoking his permit at the Pam McConnell Aquatic Centre.
“It has ... come to our attention that most recently you have been involved in activities that are in violation of the City’s Hate Activity policy,” Sarrafzadeh wrote.
“Please be advised that you are not permitted to book space at any City of Toronto facility.”
Being summarily evicted from a center he’s used for over a year isn’t Lynn’s only problem. The charismatic pastor was arrested June 4 after an LGBT crowd mobbed him as he preached at Church and Wellesley, in the heart of Toronto’s “gay” village, and released after a night behind bars on bail conditions barring him from “Pride” events and the homosexual district.
Lynn was ultimately charged with disturbing the peace and mischief, although police initially said they were looking into a “hate speech” charge.
“I didn’t say anything derogatory,” he told LifeSiteNews.
“I basically said, ‘God loves you, God’s calling you, there’s hope for you’. I got arrested on allegations of hate speech, but there was clearly no hate speech. And so they came up with this bogus charge of disturbing the peace.”
Despite rallies, court dates, 30,000 people signing a Citizen Go petition on his behalf, and $50,000 in legal bills, the charges stuck, and a five-day trial is set for July-August 2020.

But okay for the LGBT bunch to harangue and attack straight folks.
The perverts are now firmly in control.
Oh, Canada.
I’m looking forward to the day the progs put the hammer down on Muslim “hate”. Show us how determined you are to uphold the “law”. Doing this stuff to Christians takes no bravery.
Bump
Persecution of Christians is historical. We’ve been so blessed to have been born in a time where Christianity was the mainline religion. That is changing.
Persecution will continue to grow ….. unless we submit.
Of course, no thought is given to what this LGBT oppression of hate is doing to the church and the family. Until now, both have tried to ignore this oppression. Wait until both take up the fight against this oppression. Those pompous politicians in Toronto’s city government will have the power of prayers to spur action.
...have been...
...for a VERY long time, unfortunately!
It is hard to believe that Tranna used to be known in Canada as ‘Toronto the Good’.
In the era of True-dope (both Jr. and Sr.), Canada has become a socialist, secular, mohamedan loving cesspool, that I now refer to as Kanadahar.
Send them a bunch of lgbtqlmnop loving muzzies.
They’ll be okay with rooftop flight lessons from muzzies.
Nothing travels in a strait line, but it is clear the militant humanistic global socialist left, is using every form of moral degredation and indoctrination to motivate assault against Christianity and conservatism, to shift the Anglo world” toward subjugation and totalitarianism.
Or how about “strait” = “straight”
Well yeah, of course it’s hate speech, to Satan ; and apparently to Toronto.
Canada dies long ago. They just have to show how dead they are by attacking people who agree with what God says about homosexual degeneracy, that it is an abomination in God’s sight.
The same forces of change are happening across the west. Canada and Toronto aren’t unique in that aspect.
Politicians have selected the non-standard-sex crowd for special favors and privileges, in return for their votes and contributions.
Now, that has changed.
We have a massive illegal invasion on our southern border. Mexico has basically turned into a narco-run state.
Now, Canada has gone completely looney being overrun by the Lavender Mafia.
The next couple of decades will be very interesting for this Republic.
If they hated queers, why would they try to save them from Hell by preaching the Gospel to them?
