Boisson's 'Bleak House' Ordeal Continues

Closing in on a decade ago, Rev. Stephen Boisson made some socially unacceptable comments about gays, prompting a heterosexual who was offended on behalf of homosexuals (in much the same way that Richard Warman, not a Jew, was offended on behalf of Jewry) to turn him in to the province's thought cops. Long story short, in what is fast becoming Canada's version of Jarndyce v. Jarndyce, Boisson is in the dock yet again. Gay rag X-tra has the latest on his travails: 

Almost eight years after the Red Deer Advocate published Stephen Boissoin's anti-gay letter-to-the-editor, "Homosexual Agenda Wicked," the legal battle over whether it constitutes hate continues.

The letter was deemed hate by the Alberta Human Rights Commission (AHRC) in 2007, and Boissoin, a former pastor, was ordered to pay $5,000 in damages and was banned from making "disparaging remarks" about gays.

On Dec 3, 2009, Alberta's Court of Queen's Bench overturned the AHRC ruling. In his decision, Justice Earl Wilson wrote that Boissoin's views may be "jarring, offensive, bewildering, puerile, nonsensical and insulting," but that the letter isn't hate speech.

In March 2010, University of Calgary professor Darren Lund, the man who launched the original complaint, appealed that 2009 ruling, sending the case back to court. Lund spoke to the Calgary Herald:  

"I think that [2009] ruling sets a really unreasonably high limit on hate speech. Really, it's about the kind of communities we want to live in and the poisoning of the public discourse, especially in regard to vulnerable groups who already experience a high degree of hatred and discrimination," Lund said.

An "unreasonably high limit," eh? "Poisoning public discourse," eh? Well, one might be willing to swallow such bollocks, were it not for the painfully obvious fact that only certain types of, er, "poisoners" (white, Christian, non-Muslim fans of the Final Solution) are ever punished for their "hate speech." The likes of Mr. Salman Hossain, late of York University, current whereabouts unknown, are free to express whatever jarring, offensive, bewildering, puerile, nonsensical and insulting--not to mention vile, pernicious, revolting, deplorable, toxic and downright antisemitic--ideas they want to, knowing full well that neither the "human rights" cops nor the real cops are going to stop them.

Update: Here's a video containing a lexicon of some socially acceptable Trudeaupian hate speech, including "You are the brothers of monkeys/pigs," and the ever-popular "Allahu Akbar!"
