The decision by Canada's Supreme Court yesterday on Canada's hate crimes laws and freedom of expression is alarming, although some are trying to put positive spins on it. We don't at all agree with that spin. Few expected the court to render such a unanimous, threatening decision in defiance of the free speech and other rights traditions of Canada. Many observers, including the Canadian Civil Liberties Association, and those others who adamantly oppose the contents of Bill Whatcott's pamphlet, see the decision as threatening the long-held freedoms of everyone. Once again, the homosexual juggarnaut gets an extraordinarily special ruling to the detriment of many.

And as we see today, the same agenda is rapidly moving along in the United States, especially thanks to President Obama's initiatives. Common sense dictates that it cannot be possible that gay parents can be as good for children as a normal male/female couple. Everything in human experience defies such a proposterous claim and of course far too many truly objective studies prove this fact. Even young children can determine that the usual mother/father arrangement is by far and away the best for any child.
