Yes, I went on the offensive and wrote a letter to the editor in my local, small city newspaper. That’s all I did like many others were doing in my city and across Canada. I wrote that letter in the midst of many others in the middle of a nationwide debate at that time that included adding sexual orientation to the existing hate crimes laws, gay marriage, Supreme Court rulings that were siding with a pro-gay (anti-traditional) school curriculum, pro-gay books for kindergarten aged children in school, gay pride parades where some marchers went naked (were never charged) and even in my own community a public school teacher bringing a pro-gay minister in to teach public school student the pro-gay interpretation of the Bible.

Since, I have had a Human Rights complaint filed against me. I have been threatened, slandered, call a hatemonger, a bigot, had my reputation tarnished in the media across Canada, been grossly misquoted, misinterpreted etc etc. It has cost tens of thousands to defend myself and will cost tens of thousands to appeal the recent ruling. Even if I win an appeal what has been done, the slander, the thousands lost, cannot be undone.

I haven’t filed a Human Rights Complaint, haven’t imposed thousands in fines on anyone and haven’t slandered any particular person across Canada. I have not attempted to force a re-education upon any person or force them to publicy apologize for their deeply held religious convictions. I have not fined anyone for expressing their deeply held religious convictions in any amount, especially $7000.00. I have not called any particular person a bigot or a hatemonger, which the complainant still does in my own city’s newspaper where I live and work and parent.

I have given my retirement saving to at-risk youth work. I have invited over 30 teens, even Dan, who was gay, to get off the street and live in my home. I fed them, clothed them and provided them with the means to get back in school or work. I have been a friend, a big brother and a father figure to numerous gay and or bi-sexual teens. Some have even spoke put to the media about me. see here http://www.stephenboissoin.com/custom.html

So, how am I not any different?

I’m not sure if your beliefs will allow you to see an important point.

Millions of Canadians do not believe a person is born gay. They instead believe it is a behaviour and they back up this belief with their sources. They understand their are people that disagree and hold an opposite opinion. Many of these millions do not have a problem with educators teaching kids ‘tolerance’ towards those that feel they are homosexual. I say ‘feel’ because I have worked with literally thousands of teens, some who one minute claim to be gay or bi and then a year later claim to be straight and admit they were confused and experimenting. What many of these millions do have a problem with is how the tolerance agenda has been used as a platform to teach a biased unproven view that promotes homosexuality and tells a young person that may be experimenting with this behaviour that they were born that way.

Furthermore, the same Alberta Human Rights Commission that prosecuted me gave a pro-gay group funding to teach young people that homosexuality is “normal, necessary, acceptable and productive and has been for thousands of years.” They issued this pro-gay funding before my case was brought before their tribunal. Considering this, how could I have ever had a fair hearing. I was guilty in their eyes before I started. What type of court or tribunal that rules on such important issues hands out grants to support controversial issues. These commissions have a 100% conviction rate when it comes to homosexual issues.

This pro-gay agenda is clearly ’social engineering.’ I have been told that I need to apologize for my views, views that my Bible proclaims. I am told, word for word that I need to be re-educated.

My point is that you CAN and do have a different view and you CAN defend it. Don’t you think that I should have the same rights and liberties that you have?

You talk about gay teacers ‘brainwashing’ children. How do you propose to deal with the problem? Do you think these teachers should be forced to not mention homosexuality in class?

Christians are not trying to subject homosexuals to segregation, slavery, a slave trade, forced labour, rape, forced breeding, harsh physical punishment and death. What we are trying to do, is to present our right to our religious views about homosexuality and to defend our view with what we feel are our doctrines and scientific evidence. We want the same right as every other citizen to do so in private, in our religious institutions and in the public square. We like some homosexuals, are not trying to have a annual parade where we stroll around naked or partially naked. We are not trying to have laws instituted that force children to accept what we believe and preventing them from learning an opposing view and we are not trying to force homosexuals or the public to believe what we believe. We are also not trying to persecute pro-homosexual people that disagree with with our view. Christians at large have made it clear, including me, that homosexuals are loved by God, valuable as human beings etc, etc.

About the first paragraph: does this mean that you don’t have any problem with people of the same-sex who are attracted to each other and who have some sort of close relationship (we’ll say it’s ‘romantic’, I suppose) so long as they don’t actually have sex?

Having said that, I oppose laws against holocaust denial, and would oppose imprisoning a pastor who gave a rascist sermon in the same way I oppose Ake Greens imprisonment.

Homosexuality is about a “behaviour” (there is no scientific evidence otherwise) and how that “behaviour” is promoted to young people. Darren Lund, who filed the complaint against me, was a teacher in my city when I wrote the letter in question. He was promoting a biased agenda, teaching his students that homosexuality is genetic and that one must accept it and to hold any other view is “wrong” and “immoral.” Lund even invited a pro-gay minister into the public school to teach what he claimed was the pro-homosexual view of the Bible.

As I have stated over and over, my letter was not a baseless rant.

Regardless of what side of this debate you or any person is on, please try to realize the ridiculousness of the most recent ruling. Over the last week it has been made public that the Commission awarded Lund $5000.00 personally and has ordered me to make a public apology to him “for my views” in the same newspaper that I submitted the letter in question to six years ago.
