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.

The Canadians can do as they please...it's their country, but the day that Americans start getting arrested for distributing flyers promoting Christian principles is the day the civil war starts.

Fact is, there are parts of the McCain/Feingold so-called 'campaign finance reforms' that could trigger it if actually enforced.

If someone were to mail one of these guys a polite flyer from the US stating some medical facts and a Bible verse could they be extridited for hate speech? If not the click here as I bet some of these folks in Regina are listed.

I really, really don't like it when folks go distributing me like that.

You should sue for damages you can get 17 500 dollars for it but its only candaian dollars so itwill end up being about 125 real dollars but it should get you a full tank of gas and a hot meal on your way to court :-)

....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.
Remember the scandal in the RCC in USA was one primarily of HOMOSEXUAL PEDOPHILE priests. If you read the report it is quite evident that there were 2 distinct groups of pedophile priests, with the homosexual ones being in greatest number. As a rule, male pedophiles molest females, UNLESS they are homosexuals.

"Guess something like this is hateful, even if it is factual."

In the trend of things it looks like we are passing the stage of "factual". Above all, principles MUST be eliminated.

I seem to recall the Bath House contraversy in Frisco some years ago. I thought they closed and then later reopened them due to political pressure. I recall one of the arguments being that closing them was damaging because they were major social centers.

Geeeez.....only in Frisco

Human Rights Tribunal???

Sounds like something from the "Cultural Revolution". What's next? "re-education camp"?

These people passed socialism a while back. Can anyone say gulag? That's the logical extension of this type of "thinking".

What it all boils down to - the guy is being persecuted for telling the TRUTH

IOW--- the Barbarians are at the gate of the castle, the warriors are asleep, and the rulers are too drunk, too corrupt,or too naive, to notice the oncoming takeover.
