'Gay Militia' storms Christian meeting(discussing bill that could make Bible 'hate literature')
World Net Daily ^ | 4-21-04

Masked members of a group called the "Gay Militia" stormed into a meeting of Christians discussing a bill that would criminalize certain opposition to homosexual behavior in Canada.

A videotape [requires RealOne player] of the incident shows the intruders with bandanna-covered faces bursting into a meeting room at the Coast Plaza Hotel in Calgary, Alberta, where the Concerned Christian Coalition Inc. was holding its national convention Saturday night, the Calgary Sun reported.

"Right-wing bigots go away, Gay Militia is here to stay," the intruders chanted.

The Calgary paper said about seven females and one male from the homosexual group were in the room as about 25 members of the convention held hands and prayed aloud.

The female Gay Militia members unfurled a banner that read: "Liberation: Queer Invasion."

Calgary police are reviewing several videotapes of the meeting and an investigation is underway, according to police Const. Doug Jones, the hate-bias crime coordinator for the police cultural resource unit.

"What we are looking at, if we can identify [the protesters] is mischief charges, disturbing a peaceful assembly kind of stuff," he told the Sun.

Jim Blake, a member of the Christian group, told the paper he was "dumbfounded at the fact that the Gay Militia would storm into a private meeting where we were praying and discussing Bill C-250, a bill that will affect our freedom as Christians to discuss certain beliefs."

The controversial bill, which passed the House of Commons last September, adds sexual orientation as a protected category in Canada's genocide and hate-crimes legislation, which carries a penalty of up to five years in prison.

As WorldNetDaily reported, opponents fear if it becomes law, the Bible will be deemed "hate literature" under the criminal code in certain instances, as evidenced by the case of a Saskatchewan man fined by a provincial human-rights tribunal for taking out a newspaper ad with Scripture references to verses about homosexuality.

The bill now is in the Senate, where it has overwhelming support, but two amendments were introduced April 1, delaying a vote.

The Senate has recessed until April 20, when a vote is scheduled.

"The CCC feels that all groups have a right to freedom of speech, freedom of religion and the freedom to assemble and protect their deeply held personal and moral beliefs," Blake told the Calgary paper.

The Sun said the Gay Militia would not comment.

When all is said and done, the *Christians* will be jailed for hate speech in complaining about what the Queer Militia did to them.

Why don't these big tough gays go after the Koran like they do the bible? I'd like to see them enter one of the Muslim mosques and make the same demands.

Homosexuals are so tolerant and understanding. It must be because they have no guilt about their aberrant behavior.
Or could it be that they desperately need to believe that God "made" them behave sinfully.

There were eight "Gay Militia" members and 25 Christian activists. The Bible does not prohibit the use of violence. Jesus Himself advised His disciples to sell their cloak if needed to buy a sword. (And He didn't mean the King James Bible, but a sharp pointed, bladed instrument made of steel.) The Christian activists should have demanded that the perverts leave. If the sodomites stayed, the Christians should have sung, "This is the day that the Lord hath made!" and beat them to a pulp.

From what I understand, Canadian conservatives and Christians are far more beaten down than their American counterparts. Had the Christian activists in Calgary done the right thing, even if the authorities arrested them, it would have done wonders for the morale of decent Canadians.

If Christians did this to a gay group, they'd be in jail for a hate crime. Special rights, not equal rights. This is very sad!

>>>>The Bible does not prohibit the use of violence<<<<

In ancient times, only right hand was used to slap a man. Thus one slapping right had to stand behind.

"To turn the other cheek" means to turn around and face humilator face to face.

This is exactly situation here.

We should act now before this becomes a stampede.

Hitler's SA were jokers in the beggining. But it turned ugly for millions.

Hitler's brown shirts were homosexuals.

The homosexuals are nothing more than the shocktroops for the socialists.

I hope church and synagogue attenders make copies of these articles and let their fellow worshippers know what's going on in Canada, and that the homosexual rights crown have plans to enact the same crap here.

Let me know if anyone wants on/off this pinglist.
