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.

Not much free speech in Canada eh?

Oh, there's plenty of free speech in Canada; it's just that some are freer to speak than others.

This story demonstrates why any future annexation of Canadian territory is a really bad idea.

Yeah, but it's in Arabic, so it doesn't count. /sarc.

Gee ... if only the politicians could figure out a way to tax homosexual activity. How about this ... Aids drives up the cost of health care, like tobacco, and therefore homosexual activity should be regulated and heavily taxed. What do you think, Barney Frank? Does $3.00 per boink sound reasonable?

....and 3 times more likely to sexually abuse children.

I can't imagine this is accurate. I'll bet the real number is closer to 50 times more likely.

"Apart from not liking the message, how were they 'damaged'?"

From what I understand, these homosexuals were probably already damaged mentally before the flyer ever reached `em. Proving it was the proximate cause in a court would be fun.

But then, this is the Kangaroo Kanadian Kourt. Rules don't apply.

Could've been worse. Could have sentenced him to one of their submarines.

All of this shows what the liberals' idea of free speech is--free speech for Marxists, as long as the stick to the line, and totalitarian suppression for everybody else. If anybody reading this doesn't believe it, just look at what happened to Larry Summers vs. Ward Churchill. Many years ago when I was in law school my liberal professors all advocated free speech and supported the First Amendment. I'm disgusted. It turns out the large majority were advocating freedom of speech only for themselves as long as they spouted Marxist ideas, and NONE for anybody else.

If evangelical Christians and observant Jews now state that the DemonRats and the academic liberals want to use "hate speech" laws to prevent preaching of the gospel and to rape the Firfst Amendment, they're dean on right. If we don't think the DemonRarts will do this if they again gain power through the Witch, we're crazy. All we need to do is look at how the Supreme Court allowed the First Amendment to be raped by McCain-Finegold.

The lifespan of homosexuals has increased since Cameron's study, due in part to drug cocktails.
