When Human Rights Collide

More on the Religion/Speech/Sex Rights trifecta. Hey, don’t blame the tribunals. They’re just doing the job you pay them to do.

[Chronicle Herald] HOW FAR are the human rights thought police willing to go in this country?

Just watch them.

In Alberta last month, a government human rights apparatchik slapped a lifetime gag on an evangelical pastor, legally prohibiting him from ever again publicly expressing – via publishing, radio, public speech, e-mail or other Internet use – anything “disparaging” on homosexuality, regardless of whether his views are based on honestly held religious beliefs.

Think about that one for a moment. Stephen Boissoin, the target of the Alberta Human Rights Tribunal’s May 30 ruling, has been told by the state he cannot – for the rest of his life – publicly utter a word that could be considered insulting to gays, even if he’s quoting from Christian Scripture.

The rest.

  1. Boissoin should immediately break every ruling these political appointee monkeys have imposed.A freedom of speech case with a jail sentence would surely wake up at least some apathetic pissfaced Canucks.Would I bet on that ,not a chance,the country is going down the toilet!
