Man Convicted of “Hate Speech” for Flyer Warning of Harm from Sodomy

SASKATOON, SK, May 18, 2005 (LifeSiteNews.com) – A Saskatchewan man has been charged and ordered to pay $17,500 in damages to several homosexuals as a result of a flyer he distributed in Regina, containing warnings against the dangers of a homosexual lifestyle that a human rights tribunal ruled was “hate speech.”

On May 2, the Saskatchewan Human Rights Tribunal ordered William Whatcott to pay homosexual Guy Taylor $2,500 and $5,000 each to homosexuals Brenden Wallace, James Komar and Kathy Hamre for damages. The four had sued Whatcott for a flyer he had distributed in mailboxes between September 2001 and April 2002 for what they considered “hate speech.”

“I believe homosexuality activity is a sin,” Whatcott said, according to a CP report. “To give me a $17,500 fine and say I can't say that is quite frankly garbage and is not something I am going to abide by. If I have to sit in jail for the rest of my life, I am not going to be quiet.”

Quotes found to convict him included, “Our children will pay the price in disease, death, abuse…if we do not say no to the sodomite desire to socialize your children into accepting something that is clearly wrong,” and “Sodomites are 430 times more likely to acquire AIDS and 3 times more likely to sexually abuse children!”

Whatcott added bible verses referring to homosexuality such as the following: “The Bible is clear that homosexuality is an abomination,” and “Sodom and Gomorrah was given over completely to homosexual perversion and as a result destroyed by God’s wrath.”

Whatcott argued in his own defence that “he had himself engaged in homosexual acts and that the Lord had set him free,” according to court testimony. He added that “only 2% of homosexuals were monogamous or semi-monogamous, while 43% of male homosexuals estimate having had sex with 500 or more different partners, and 28% of male homosexuals estimate having sex with 1,000 or more different partners.

Leftists can only win by silencing their opponents.

Looks like they're winning in Canada...

Do you have to prove that you are a homo in Canada?

A very astute question. I wonder what the Saskatchewan Human Rights Tribunal's methodology was, or whether it occurred to them to verify their homosexuality before making a judgement. I can't believe how far down the PC hole Canada has fallen.

As we have stated before there is no freedom in Canada or the EU. We need to block the border in the north as well as the south.

This has to be a joke of the worst kind.

Can't be true.

Can't happen in a democratic country.

This is the 21st century.


Did you know that when the ACLU sues some group, their lawyer fees are paid by the federal dollars you pay in taxes.

Whatcott added bible verses referring to homosexuality...

Next they'll be flushing those pages of the Bible with those verses on them down the toilet. Do we get to have a riot then?
