When I heard that the absurd homophobe and fetush fetishist Bill Whatcott was going to appear before the Supreme Court, I wasn't sure what to think.
On the one hand it will only give him more of the publicity he so desperately craves.
Just like this new documentary does...
On the other hand, I can't imagine a better spokesman for the anti-gay cause than a former drug addict, gay prostitute, thief, and jail bird. A guy who likes to prance about with the most grotesque posters.
These include flyers with images of dismembered fetuses and flyers with pictures of diseases allegedly caused by gay sex. He also has protested at gay pride celebrations and outside abortion clinics. On occasion he has also taken up other causes, including distributing flyers describing Muhammad as "a man of violence" with images of a beheaded Indonesian girl.
A low creature who was so offended by Dr Henry Morgentaler being awarded the Order of Canada he wrote this:
“I got an image of the Order of Canada, crapped on it, wrapped it up and mailed it to the Governor General to communicate my utter contempt of her office, her arrogance, her anti-Christian/ anti-life bigotry and the now corrupted and irrelevant Order of Canada in general.”
Classy eh? Golly. After I read that and then I read this.
I've never been a fan of his methods. But I agree with his message. I also believe he has the right to free speech.
Someday he'll part of Canadian folklore, like Johnny Appleseed.
All I could think of was apple seeds popping out of What-the-Fuck's asshole. Pip...Pip... Plop. Gawd. Johnny Appleshit? What a HORRIBLE thought. I'm NEVER eating an apple again.
Seriously though... I'm a big believer in freedom of speech. I think that Human Right Commissions should probably relax a bit. And I get no pleasure from seeing Whatcott hit with such a large fine. Because let's face it, his pathetic life is his own worst punishment.
But here's the thing, a lot of people forget it's not just a question of words, it's also about who they are directed at. The government has the right and the duty to protect minorities who are already under attack, from being attacked further just because of who they are.
A lot of people already hate gays and too many express that hate violently.
So by attacking an already targetted minority as he does, he is only pouring fuel on the flames of bigotry, and endangering the lives of gay Canadians.
Which is why, in the end, I'm glad the Supreme Court is going to hear the case. If only because it's about time people were educated about what it's like to be on the receiving end of all that bigotry. How it can hurt or KILL. And why we need to draw the line somewhere.
As for Whatcott, when he rails about "sodomites in our schools," maybe he should meet 14-year-old Graeme Taylor who stood up for a teacher who was suspended for trying to stop hate speech in his classroom.
And made an appearance on the Ellen Show this week...
When I see a proud gay kid like that I feel happy.
When I see a twisted bigot like Bill Whatcott I feel DISGUSTED.
I've avoided writing anything about the lesbians and the comedian story, because I wasn't sure what really happened in that dreadful dive on that fateful night. Except that it was ugly. Too bad the Con monkeys in the MSM couldn't show the same restraint. Because they've been falling over themselves in a freakin' foaming frenzy, lynching the lesbians, siding with the comedian, hysterically declaring it a matter of free speech, or using the case to demand that the Human Rights Commission be abolished. Like this hideous Con dwarf does. Which is absolutely outrageous. Because if this is what happened... Under questioning from her counsel Devyn Cousineau, Pardy said she went to the restaurant to meet two female friends including her partner Zoe Broomsgrove. They were sitting in the patio and at 11:30 p.m. were told they had to move into the restaurant as the patio was closing.
Inside Zesty's they were being seated when Broomsgrove kissed Pardy on the cheek, which caused Earle who was on stage to point to them and tell the audience they were sitting at the "dyke table."
What then followed was a diatribe of vile remarks from Earle describing lesbian acts involving her and her partner that shocked and embarrassed her, she said.
It has nothing to do with free speech, and everything to do with ugly BEHAVIOUR. Guy Earle says the women heckled him first. But why would they heckle him when they were being seated? I think it far more likely that he was bothered by the sight of one woman kissing the other, and that's why he launched his disgusting homophobic assault.
Because some people are sick. And because it's one thing to attack people on the internet, and I'm in favour of loosening restrictions on that. But to personally attack people for who they are in this manner:
“Don’t you have a strap-on dildo so you can take your girlfriend home and f_ck her in the @ss, so you can be a man….You’re fat and ugly and that’s why you’re a dyke ’cause no man would want to f_ck you.”
And humiliate them in front of others, and end up breaking a pair of their glasses, is simply inexcusable. Even in a restaurant/comedy club. And attacking members of an oppressed minority like lesbians is particularly disgusting. Because would Guy Earle have told a group of black people they were sitting at the "nigger" table? I doubt it. And doesn't that foulmouthed no talent loser know that hate crimes against gay people in this country are particularly violent? 56% — The proportion of all hate crimes motivated by sexual orientation that are marked by violence. This percentage was higher than the proportion of incidents motivated by race/ethnicity (38%) or religion (26%). Common assault was the most frequent type of violent offence.
As a result, incidents motivated by sexual orientation were more likely than other types of hate crime incidents to result in physical injury to victims.
So insulting them and humiliating them in public doesn't make you a free speech martyr, just a bigot bully and a COWARD. Like many others I wish this case could have been quietly resolved by mediation. But let me be very clear about some things. The Human Rights Commissions exist for a reason. Free speech in this country is NOT threatened.The so-called Free Speech debate in this country is all about having the right to threaten and denigrate minorities. Instead of challenging the powerful. Which makes it PATHETIC. Lorna Pardy had every right to complain about the way she and her friends were treated.
Lesbians don't lead the Gay Pride parade for nothing.
Imagine if the love of your life was dying in a hospital bed. But you weren't allowed to say goodbye. So your lover died alone wondering where you were. Even though you were just outside the room. How would you feel for the rest of your life? Which is why this story haunts me.
“I have this deep sense of failure for not being at Lisa’s bedside when she died,” Ms. Langbehn said. “How I get over that I don’t know, or if I ever do.”
Of course that could never happen to me. Because NOBODY would ever be able to stop Sébastien. And I'd drive a bulldozer through a wall to get to him.
But then I wouldn't have to because in Canada we have a Human Rights Commission that keeps bigots from firing people, or not renting apartments to them, or discriminating in other ways just because of who they are.
And helps keep Canada a civilized country, and women and minorities safe from the haters.
Which is why I was not surprised to see the uber neocon Tom Flanagan calling for it to be scrapped.
...we should remember that the existence of the commissions is itself an abuse. They have little to do with genuine human rights such as freedom of speech and worship, security of the person and ownership of property. They are specialized agencies to enforce anti-discrimination legislation, and issues of prejudice and discrimination are far too complex to be resolved by human-rights sloganeering.
But then he would.
Because this ridiculous Calgary School Strangelove has been trying to turn Canada into a jungle ever since he arrived in Canada from the United States. And even though when he sneezes, Stephen Harper FARTS, it ain't gonna happen. Because this is Canada eh? Not Amerika. Although I'm sure that after this pathetic performance Flanagan WILL get a chance to dip his lips in paint and plant a big kiss on Ezra Levant's Butt of Fame. Because goodness gracious everybody knows.....it's BIG enough for all of them. As for me ....I'd just like to dedicate this song to Strangelove and all the other right-wing weirdos and dinosaurs who would destroy the Human Rights Commission and turn our beautiful country into a racist, sexist,homophobic jungle. Call it my salute ...or OUR salute. From the Big Gay Collab.
This time all the way from Paris...
Because sometimes you can argue with the k....k....k....KRAZY doctors and dinosaurs.
Sometimes you need a bulldozer. And sometimes why BOTHER?
