"Sexual Orientation" has been defined to include "Peeping Toms" and sexual "Voyeurism"

VANCOUVER, June 23, 2004 (LifeSiteNews.com) - Critics of Svend Robinson's Bill C-250 were right - the undefined term of "Sexual Orientation," if included into Section 318 and 319 of the Criminal Code, would offer protection for a whole host of deviant "sexual lifestyles," warns the Citizen's Research Institute (CRI). Opponents to the Bill repeatedly asked if "pedophilia" and other "sexual orientations" would be protected under Bill C-250. These critics were ridiculed and mocked because they could foresee the problems that would result from the ill-conceived and undefined term "sexual orientation."

CRI notes that on December 18, 2003, Judge Romilly of the British Columbia Youth Court in his reasons for sentence in the R. v. J.S. case, opened the door when he stated the following concerning the term "sexual orientation" under section 718 of the Criminal Code:

"I am of the opinion that this crime was motivated by bias, prejudice or hate based on a factor similar to sexual orientation and is covered by this section of the Criminal Code. It strikes me that this section contemplates hatred against 'peeping toms' and/or 'voyeurs' as being within its purview, since in my opinion such activity represents a sexual lifestyle which some may consider deviant, but is a sexual lifestyle all the same."

CRI's Kari Simpson commented "It is only a matter of time before those with 'deviant sexual lifestyles,' otherwise known as 'sexual orientations,' charge law abiding citizens and victims - who are fighting for tougher laws to protect children and society - with promoting hatred. Pedophiles, child pornographers, rapists, peeping toms, and others now have a right to be protected from language that might promote hatred and contempt of their 'sexual orientations/lifestyles.'"

I've wondered how long it would take before the nebulous phrase "sexual orientation" would begin to be expanded to include other sexual deviations than homosexuality.

Does anyone know anything about this case other than what is in the article?

Sure seems to me that "beastiality" could also be considered a "sexual orientation".

Anything could be considered a "sexual orientation" if it involves sex.

Leftists don't mind, of course. The sexual proletariat are merely misunderstood; they aren't out to rape and murder your children.

If this kind of garbage continues, the we will simply have to take this country back and deal justice directly!

Don't like that idea? Then I suggest you convince your representative to obey our Constitution and our laws.

Pedophilia is just another sexual orientation, too.

Homosexual Agenda Ping - Good old Sven Robinson, the avowed "gay" elected MP or whatever they're called in Canada - you know, the one pushing this cr*p in Canada, the one caught stealing a vauable diamond ring for his homosexual parter (or one of them) and hasn't been charged with a crime - what a prince of a fellow he is.

There's only a couple of problems - are they leaving out bestiality and necrophilia from being protected under the Hatespeech and Hatecrimes laws? Discrimination!

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

Robinson has been charged with theft over $5000 . Max term is ten years but it's doubtful he'll serve little , if any , time. As of the 28th he will no longer be a MP. He's not running .

At least he's not running again. I wonder if he was a private non-homosexual individual if he'd have a more severe punishment for the theft?

Don't know. But all eyes are watching. In theory his homosexuality won't matter, but he was an MP and he did a lot of whining and crying publicly as he turned himself in . He claimed stress made him do it. As he said, something just snapped and he pocketed the 50k ring . Note he used the word "pocketed", not "stole" . I doubt he regards himself as a thief .

I think it will eventually be one or the other.

I wonder if the Tree of Liberty is getting thirsty.

Give them time -- they'll get to it.

Yeah, at least you don't have to provide health-care for their "partners."
