Intolerant Canada again: Christian Political Party Before Human Rights Commission for Speaking Against Homosexuality
Leader says: "I'm willing to go to jail over this"
The Christian Heritage Party of Canada (CHP) and its Leader Ron Gray are being investigated by the Canadian Human Rights Commission after a homosexual activist complained of material published on the Party's website he claims is offensive to homosexuals. Homosexual activist Rob Wells of Edmonton, has previously launched human rights complaints against Christian activist Craig Chandler in Alberta and has now made formal complaints against the CHP and Gray. Wells took issue with a 2002 WorldNetDaily news story republished on the CHP webpage as well as three Christian Heritage Party communiqu,s written by Gray.
The World Net Daily article in question concerned a study which found "Pedophilia more common among 'gays'". (see the item here: http://wnd.com/news/article.asp?ARTICLE_ID=27431 )
Of the three communiques, one was issued in 2004 and two in 2005. The first of these condemned the actions of the self-styled "gay militia" who disrupted a Christian meeting by shouting down the speaker. Gray used strong language to condemn the actions citing the gay militia, the "militant secularists and homosexuals" as the true "hate criminals." He noted that homosexual activists work to "normalize sexual perversion" in schools because they "want to recruit our children into their debauched lifestyle." (See it here: http://www.chp.ca/arc-CHP-Communique/communique_11_17.htm )
The second took issue with Canada's bill to legalize same-sex 'marriage', saying, "Why would anyone even contemplate putting the nation's children at risk to pander to the sexual appetites of a tiny minority of mentally-ill adults?" Gray added: "Yes, I said 'mentally ill'", noting that many psychiatrists still consider homosexuality a treatable disorder. (See it here: http://www.chp.ca/arc-CHP-Communique/communique_12_21.htm )
The third item dealt with Canada's "cone of silence" around all discussion related to homosexuality. The facts on homosexuality he stated are: "homosexuality is a treatable illness; homosexuality is abnormal; homosexuality is extremely unhealthy, shortening life expectancy by decades." (see it here: http://www.chp.ca/arc-CHP-Communique/communique_12_13.htm )
In an interview with LifeSiteNews.com, Gray maintained he does not harbour any ill will toward persons with same-sex attractions, in fact just the opposite. "Christians are probably the best friends homosexuals have in the world because we want to see them delivered from an addiction that will shorten their lives in this world and condemn them in the next, said Gray. "I'm not motivated by hate at all. I would guess that very few if any real Christians are motivated by hate in their response to these issues. It's a question of compassion."
Gray added: "Who truly loves you, someone who tells you the truth even when it hurts, or someone who will tell you you're okay even when you're headed down the wrong road. The Scripture says 'Faithful are the wounds of a friend, and deceitful are the kisses of an enemy.'"
The CHP Leader believes that the case is of highest importance also for the Conservative Government in Canada. "I really think this is a crucial case because if an agency of the government, which the CHRC is, can tell a political party what it may and may not include in its political statements we have gone way down the road to totalitarianism," he said.
Gray says he wants to win the case but not by compromise but in a way which affirms freedom of religion, thought and political rights in Canada. Rather than arguing before the human rights tribunals, Gray would prefer the case moves to the courts where the burden of proof is more stringent.
Moreover, says Gray, if Wells "truly believes I'm motivated by hate, he should charge me with a hate crime" under the existing Canadian hate crime law. "I'm willing to go to jail over this," Gray told LifeSiteNews.com.
Costs for the initial defense before the tribunal are expected to come to $20,000. Canadian Human Rights procedures give overwhelming advantage to plaintiffs. Defendents are liable not only for their own costs but also for those of the plaintiff plus fines should the complaint be upheld.

i suppose it cooooould be, the fact that gays were beaten, tortured and murdered oh, not so long ago?
A little insecure?
You're fucking idiot.
Where is there any indication that the individual being taken before the human rights tribunal has "beaten, tortured and murdered" anyone and is being charged or has been charged with doing so. I have to apologize if past deeds and actions by straights have made you feel insecure.
oh yes you're right.
Never has there ever been a case of a gay person who was beaten or murdered as a result of people spreading nonesense like '"Homosexual agenda wicked” and suggested gays are as immoral as pedophiles, drug dealers and pimps.'
No sir, I think you live in a very sheltered environment if you think this and I would suggest you go out there and see things first hand.
Oh here start with the globe and mail article on this:http://www.theglobeandmail.com/servlet/story/RTGAM.20071130.waltagay1130/BNStory/National/homefirst
You really need to wake up and smell the coffee. "show me where someone was beaten up"....
What are you... an idiot????
Get back on topic! In this particular instance is anyone being charged or accussed of physical violence. The answer is NO, NO, NO!
you really don't get it do you.
No I don't get it but then I am straight. You seem to in tune with the perceived problem.
now that's twice you've done that. So I can only conclude, that you are homophobic. Scared of it it seems for some odd reason.
It's rather disturbing that as an adult your only response can be to call someone 'gay', (or insinuate as you have done), as if that is some kind of damning accusation.
The fact that I have a lot of good friends in the gay community doesn't make me uncomfortable or threaten my sense of well being or my marriage, but well I guess there are a lot of people out there that it would. It must be upsetting.
It always makes me chuckle though, when I see conservative mouthpieces who stand up and disparage gay people, yet they are later discovered to be having clandestine meetings with fellahs in their offices.
funny that. :)
Labels don't a person make.....
Your comment; "I have a lot of good friends in the gay community" reminds me of a similar comment being made by liberals during the hey day of civil rights who professed their dedication to the cause by saying; "I have a lot of black friends" and it was said that the number of friends they had increased with the distance they lived from Harlem.
I'm not sure why you have this obsession with the liberals, but really, my comment had absolutely nothing to do with liberals, or what they are doing.
I realize everything needs to be left and right for you in life, but thankfully there are many of us who can reason and live without that limitation.
It would serve you well to grow out of it. It may do wonders for our blood pressure.
Now back to the original topic, the tories have kicked the guy out, and good on them.
