I saw that!
I was so intent on posting it myself, that I neglected to see if someone had already. More egg on my face and its not even breakfast yet!

This whole thing makes me sad and angry at once. I'm certainly not about to start throwing stones from my own sorry glass house, so I don't hold much with dumping on Homosexuals or other such - as long as they keep it among adults and indoors. But, the left just will not rest until everyone dances to their tune. Diversity!? The only "diversity" that means anything involves the real distinctions of faith and ideas - held strongly. "Live and let live" does not mean that people think other faiths or ideas are equally right and true - but that we have agreed together to settle the inevitable conflicts with words and examples rather than fists and guns - whether welded by state officials in enforcement of the law or plain citizens on their own.

In our past people lived as neighbors and fought in common against our nations enemies alongside those whom they were certain they'd never see in heaven. And they made no bones about it - each knew that the other (Protestant, Catholic, or Jew) thought the same. That's "Diversity". But, that takes, strength, self - control and conviction, not "sensitivity", and victim-hood.
A free people cannot have thin skins!

As for this kind of legislation. We know who the enemy is, and how to fight them. Prayer, example, witness and the ballot box.
Thank you, and
Be Well,

The Saskatchewan case demonstrates selective enforcement. The view that homosexuality is caused by nuture not nature is a scientific question - and one that is (or was until recently) widely accepted by scholars. Yet if a minister makes the same statement in plain language, he has committed a crime.

And all the while, imans make far more "hateful" statements on this subject with impunity; indeed, I risk attack for even mentioning this.

It's obviously open season on Christians in Canada.
