Some Letters to Senators Re: Bill C-250

Dear Senator,

I hope you will read the article of mine below when you discuss Bill C-250. This Bill C-250 is an outrage to a free society. I am sending this to every Senator.

Sincerely, Stephen Gray, B.C.

The Evidence Svend Robinson Omitted
in His Globe and Mail Article

"We shall sodomize your sons...We shall seduce them in your schools, in your dormitories, in your gymnasiums, in your locker rooms, in your sports arenas, in your seminaries, in your youth groups...wherever men are with men together. Your sons shall become our minions and do our bidding. They will be recast in our image.... "All laws banning homosexual activity will be revoked. Instead, legislation shall be passed which engenders love between men."

( Michael Swift, "Gay Revolutionary" in the February 15, 1987 issue of the homosexual newspaper Gay Community News and was reprinted in the 15-21 February 1987 Congressional Record.)

Legislation is now being considered that legalizes "love between men." A vote supporting this aberration called "same-sex marriage" has been passed in parliament and it will soon be a "hate crime" to criticize this.

We already have legislation in the criminal code that protects everyone from crimes against the person. Yet M.P. Svend Robinson has succeeded in having a special law passed for homosexuals. His Bill C-250 has won approval in parliament and will soon become law. Mr. Robinson in an article in the Globe and Mail of May 27, 2003, used some evidence of violence against homosexuals as to why his Bill C-250, also known as the "hate crime legislation" should be passed into law. Was Mr. Robinson being selective with his evidence?

Since Mr. Robinson selectively quotes attacks on homosexuals in his article then surely evidence of attacks by homosexuals on innocent children should also be exposed. After all, we are a land of "equality" and all evidence should be given equal time. One such case was the murder of shoeshine boy Emanuel Jaques in Ontario a number of years ago. An editorial headlined "Murder and History" stated about the murder of Emanuel Jaques:

"Twenty-five years ago,three men conspired to lure the 12-year-old Portugese-Canadian boy away from his older brother on the corner of Yonge and Dundas. They then raped him, drowned him in a sink and tossed his body under some lumber on the roof of 245 Yonge... Saul Betesh, the man who did the actual luring, was part of the city’s then-increasingly vibrant gay population." Source from http://www.eye.net October 24, 2002, issue.

In fact, the judge in this case was quoted as saying to one of the killers, Saul Betesh: "There as those who would seek legal protection for homosexuals in the Human Rights Code. You make me wonder if they are not misguided." (page 46, Politically Incorrect by George Jonas)

Another boy tortured and murdered by homosexuals was 13 year-old Jesse Dirkhising of Arkansas, though the mainstream media in North America gave this atrocity very little coverage. In fact, an article headlined "Mainstream Media are Advocates When They Cover Gays" by John Leo, April 16, 2001.at http://www.townhall.com said: "For nearly 18 months now, the news media have been trying to brush off complaints about their non-coverage of the Jessie Dirkising murder. The article went on to say: "Dirkhising is the 13-year old Arkansas boy who was drugged, tied to a bed, raped, tortured and suffocated in September of 1999. Both accused killers are homosexual men."

When homosexuals are assaulted the news media give it saturation exposure and Mr. Robinson uses the publicity to promote his political agenda. Which begs the question: If Mr. Robinson can have a Bill passed giving special protection to homosexuals, shouldn’t the non-homosexual population have a bill passed protecting children from the "hate crimes" committed by homosexuals? A crime is a crime no matter who commits it and should be punished severely. Homosexuals and heterosexuals already have protection in the criminal code. Yet the way Mr. Robinson portrays his Bill C-250 is that homosexuals need special laws; He states in his Globe and Mail article: "We have waited too long for justice." If that is the case, do we need a special law to protect children from homosexual killers as in the murders of Emanuel Jaques and Jesse Dirkising? In fact do we need a special law to protect the public from the consequences of homosexual behaviour as in the case of the tainted blood scandal. All medical evidence and statistics show this behaviour is dangerous and can kill. Innocent people infected by contaminated blood from a disease ridden lifestyle have every right to protection. Is giving contaminated blood not a dangerous act? Have we, the heterosexual population in Canada, to use the words of Mr. Robinson, "waited too long for justice?"

Do we also need a special law to protect us from some politicians who want to suppress free speech? Mr. Robinson professes to be against violence, yet this is the same Mr. Robinson who grabbed the sign of a peaceful protestor on parliament hill and threw it away. Was this not an act of violence? And if Mr. Robinson is against hate and violence, why did he not write in his article in the Globe and Mail about the violence and hate committed by homosexuals?

"All homosexuals must stand together as brothers;we must be united artistically, philosophically, socially, politically, and financially. We will triumph only when we present a common face to the vicious heterosexual enemy."(Michael Swift, "Gay Revolutionary")

Mr. Robinson has succeeded in making any criticism of homosexual behaviour into a "hate crime." Does this now mean, to expose the crimes committed by homosexuals - as in the cases already mentioned - they could be classed as "hate crimes?" Questions have to be asked in this country as to why Svend Robinson can have his agenda approved in the courts, in the media and in parliament? No other politician seems to have such political success. Is he getting special treatment? We already have laws protecting everyone from criminal acts. We cannot pass a decent law on child pornography but the political powers that be can pass special laws for deviant behavior. Homosexuals just like heterosexuals commit crimes so why the special political treatment?

Dear Senators:

The Saskatchewan provincial court agrees with the Human Rights Tribunal, that some Bible passages incite hatred against homosexuals. Svend Robinson’s private members bill is in your hands. Bill C-250 would add “sexual orientation” to the current list of identifiable groups (i.e. colour, race, religion and ethnic origin) in the “hate propaganda” sections of the Criminal Code of Canada. If this law passes as it is, certain Bible passages will be deemed as hate literature. If convicted of a hate crime you could spend up to two years in jail.

LifesiteNews.com reports, “In a ruling given virtually no media coverage, the Court of Queen's Bench in Saskatchewan, ruled that a man who placed references to Bible verses on homosexuality into a newspaper ad was guilty of inciting hatred. The December 11, 2002 decision was in response to an appeal of a 2001 Saskatchewan Human Rights Commission (HRC) ruling which ordered both the Saskatoon Star Phoenix newspaper and Hugh Owens of Regina to pay $1,500 to three homosexual activists for publishing an ad in the Saskatoon newspaper quoting bible verses regarding homosexuality.

The purpose of the ad was to indicate that the Bible says no to homosexual behaviour. The advertisement displayed references to four Bible passages: Romans 1, Leviticus 18:22, Leviticus 20:13 and 1 Corinthians 6:9-10, on the left side. An equal sign (=) was situated in the middle, with a symbol on the right side. The symbol was comprised of two males holding hands with the universal symbol of a red circle with a diagonal bar superimposed over top.”

Svend Robinson says that C-250, “ in no way limits or threatens the freedom of religious expression or religious texts.” The Criminal Code expressly protects this freedom in subsection 319(3) which states, ‘No person shall be convicted of an offence…if, in good faith, he expressed or attempted to establish by augment an opinion on a religious subject.”

The Provincial Judge, Justice J. Barclay rejected the appeal ruling: "In my view, the Board was correct in concluding that the advertisement can objectively be seen as exposing homosexuals to hatred or ridicule. When the use of the circle and slash is combined with the passages of the Bible, it exposes homosexuals to detestation, vilification, and disgrace…” (LifesiteNews.com)

The purpose of the ad was to inform people of what the Bible says of homosexuality. It was found not to be “in good faith.” Preachers and teachers of the Bible across our Canada will preach the same message. Will they be found guilty of a crime also?

Dear Senator,

I believe that it is your legal obligation to all Canadians to protect the freedoms of ALL citizens and to ensure that equality for ALL citizens is maintained.

You are familiar with section 15 of the Charter (1) Every individual is equal before and under the law and has the right to the equal protection and equal benefit of the law without discrimination and, in particular, without discrimination based on race, national or ethnic origin, colour, religion, sex, age or mental or physical disability.

As you review Bill C 250 and Section 319 of the Criminal code you will see that there are severe legal and Charter problems with the two.

Section 15 of the Charter guarantees equality under, before and benefit of the law for ALL Canadians. But section 319 of the Criminal code violates those Charter rights by targeting certain Canadians while protecting others. In fact to apply the ill designed section 319 would require that Canadians be profiled. Profiling people whether by race or religion is unacceptable. To apply that bad law one has to determine if the "perpetrators" are "religious" based in their opinion or argument. The profiling of Canadians is unacceptable at any time. And especially under these circumstances when one adds a sexual behaviour and believes this to be equal to race, colour, religion etc.

It is your duty as last reviewers of proposed legislation to ensure that this C250 amendment does not proceed into the terribly flawed hate crime law. May I suggest that you not only defeat Bill C 250 amendment but that you revisit the whole hate crime section.

Let me ask you: what could one say publicly about "sexual orientation" that would not be a criminal offence? If you cannot readily answer that question then it would indicate a very flawed piece of legislation. If a citizen cannot determine if he or she will commit a crime by reading/ knowing the law then the application of such a law is at least dubious if not an illegal act in itself. That law likely should be considered unconstitutional for the protection of all citizens.

Let me ask you : what is the legal definition of sexual orientation in Canada ? Can you show me where the Canadian court has clearly defined that term ? If not, then what are you really considering in the Bill C 250 amendment? I have included below a list of sexual behaviours ( most sexual perversions) from the American Psychiatric Association DSM manual appendix ( attached and believed to be accurate ) that would appear to define "sexual orientations". Is this what the term you are considering in Bill C 250 means and what will then be protected?

I also point out that MP Robinson has misled people when he claims that the Attorneys General will be a check against frivolous complaints leading to criminal charges. Section 319(1) does not require the AG approval to proceed. You have access to legal counsel - check it with them.

I do hope that the Senators of Canada will not allow this kind of matter to proceed into law for this nation.

Sincerely,

Brian xxxxxx
