An Alberta human rights panel began hearing a case July 16 that could determine what can and cannot be said about homosexuality in Canada in the future.
The case involves Stephen Boissoin, who was a youth pastor in Red Deer, Alberta, in June 2002 when he wrote a letter to the local newspaper arguing that homosexual activists are “just as immoral as pedophiles, drug dealers and pimps that plague our communities,” the Calgary Herald reported.
He further wrote: “From kindergarten class on, our children, your grandchildren are being strategically targeted, psychologically abused and brainwashed by homosexual and pro-homosexual educators. Your children are being warped into believing that same-sex families are acceptable; that kissing men is appropriate.”
A local high school teacher, Darren Lund, read the letter and filed a complaint that led to the hearing. Lund now is an education professor at the University of Calgary. Lund is married and is not homosexual, although he has been a longtime liberal advocate.
“It’s going to be a very significant case, probably the most significant constitutional case involving human rights legislation that has ever been considered in Alberta,” Gerald Chipeur, Boissoin’s lawyer, was quoted as saying in the Herald.
Interestingly, a Canadian homosexual rights group, EGALE (Equality for Gays and Lesbians Everywhere), has sided with Boissoin’s right to freedom of expression, although it says it disagrees with his beliefs, the newspaper said.




I’ve heard about that case. Everything he said is true, so what’s the big deal? Homos love to scream “hate crime” when people don’t approve of their disgusting sexual habits and the way they are cramming them down our throats as legally accepted practices, but they are the first to reciprocate the “hate speech” when they are promoting their agenda.
