A word of sanity from an unexpected place.
A Canadian homo-ette.
Gays are usually all in favor of hate crime and hate speech laws.
I have found this kind of thinking increasingly ironic.
And very dangerous to everyone's freedom.
But a columnist in Xtra, a Canadian gay weekly
not known for its balanced views*, takes exception
to the way in which offensive speech is now virtually criminalized
in Canada.
And she's a law professor!
Of course she sees anything "right-wing" as intrinsically evil,
but at least she gets the concept of freedom of speech.
HT to Kathy Shaidle.
One of many growing examples of the harm that this hate speech mindset does
can be seen here and the rotting Europeans excel at this, here.
And can anyone find me any case, anywhere, where people get hauled
into court for insulting any religion other than Islam?
*The principal at Pink Triangle Press, which oversees Xtra, is Ken Popert.
His friends in Toronto used to refer to him as part of the very lefty gay
clique, the Homintern.
