Critics
of Svend Robinsons Bill C-250 were right - the undefined
term of Sexual Orientation, if included into
Section 318 and 319 of the Criminal Code, would offer
protection for a whole host of deviant sexual lifestyles.
Opponents to the Bill repeatedly asked if pedophilia
and other sexual orientations would be protected
under Bill C-250. These critics were ridiculed and mocked
because they could foresee the problems that would result
from the ill-conceived and undefined term sexual
orientation.
On
December 18, 2003, Judge Romilly of the British Columbia
Youth Court in his reasons for sentence in the R. v. J.S.
case opened the door when he stated the following concerning
the term sexual orientation under section
718 of the Criminal Code:
I
am of the opinion that this crime was motivated by bias,
prejudice or hate based on a factor similar to sexual
orientation and is covered by this section of the Criminal
Code. It strikes me that this section contemplates hatred
against peeping toms and/or voyeurs
as being within its purview, since in my opinion such
activity represents a sexual lifestyle which some may
consider deviant, but is a sexual lifestyle all the
same.
It
is only a matter of time before those with deviant
sexual lifestyles, otherwise known as sexual
orientations, charge law abiding citizens and victims
- who are fighting for tougher laws to protect children
and society - with promoting hatred. Pedophiles, child
pornographers, rapists, peeping toms, and others now have
a right to be protected from language that might promote
hatred and contempt of their sexual orientations/lifestyles.
