A recently passed bill in Michigan could make it a felony to intimidate someone by intentionally using the wrong gender pronouns, according to some legal experts.

Michigan’s state House of Representatives has passed bill HB 4474, a piece of legislation that criminalizes causing someone to feel threatened by words. 

Under the new bill, offenders are “guilty of a felony punishable by imprisonment for not more than 5 years, or by a fine of not more than $10,000.”

“‘Intimidate’ means a willful course of conduct involving repeated or continuing harassment of another individual that would cause a reasonable individual to feel terrorized, frightened, or threatened, and that actually causes the victim to feel terrorized, frightened, or threatened,” the bill reads.

The bill specifically addresses “sexual orientation” and “gender identity or expression” as protected classes.

According to the bill, “‘Gender identity or expression’ means having or being perceived as having a gender-related self-identity or expression whether or not associated with an individual’s assigned sex at birth.”

Critics are accusing the bill of violating the First Amendment.

“Make no mistake about it. Those advocating for this legislation will wield these policies as a weapon capable of destroying conservative expression or viewpoints grounded in the sacred,” Distinguished Professor Emeritus William Wagner told media outlet The Daily Wire.

“The state of Michigan is now explicitly allowing the gender delusion issue to be used as a ‘protected class.’ This opens up numerous issues when it comes to the courts and the continued weaponization of the system against conservatives,” State Rep. Angela Rigas said of the bill. 

She continued, “We saw similar concerns when they wanted to pass blocks on ‘conversion’ therapy. It seems Dems want to be in the business of telling people how to think.”

The bill was passed by the Democrat-controlled state House in a 59-50 vote. It now moves to the Michigan State Senate for consideration. 

If approved by the state senate, it will be sent for approval to Gov. Gretchen Whitmer, who is expected to sign it.

Michigan lawmakers gave final approval to legislation banning “conversion therapy” for minors as Democrats in the state continue to advance a pro-LGBTQ+ agenda in their first months in power.

The legislation would prohibit mental health professionals from trying to convert youths who are LGBTQ+ to heterosexuality and traditional gender expectations.

Anthony Bass, The Latest Victim of Cancel Culture, Corporate Cowardice & Censorship of Any Criticism of the Surging Homosexual Agenda

Toronto Blue Jays relief pitcher Anthony Bass is the latest victim of the tyranny and intolerance of the many corporate backers of the homosexual agenda. Bass made a critical post online about the LGBTQ community. Although he apologized, he added: ” “The video itself, obviously, I took it down,I just felt like it was too much of a distraction, right? But I stand by my personal beliefs and everyone’s entitled to their personal beliefs, right? But also I mean no harm toward any groups of people.” NO! s a corporate slave, he is not entitled to his own views. Nor are the fans. General Manager Ross Atkins warns: ” As for a message for fans who may be against participating in the weekend’s festivities, Atkins said the organization will “continue to work hard to make sure that this is an inclusive environment and one where we will not stand for behavior that makes it otherwise.”

Do you get it? An “inclusive environment” but not of any views contrary to the LGBTQ agenda. Notice, while embracing Gay Pride, the Jays aren’t likely to embrace traditional Christian family pride!

Toronto Blue Jays drop pitcher Anthony Bass following anti-LGBTQ comments

The Toronto Blue Jays have designated pitcher Anthony Bass for assignment following an anti-LGBTQ post the 35-year-old shared on social media last month.

The move comes hours before the Blue Jays’ first game of Pride Weekend when the team faces the Minnesota Twins. Bass was expected to take part in the festivities including catching the ceremonial first pitch on Friday.

Blue Jays general manager Ross Atkins said Friday that Bass’s performance on the field was primarily a baseball decision.

Atkins added that the team values the LGBTQ community and expressed regret for any mishandling of the situation.

“We definitely don’t want anyone feeling any hurt,” Atkins said. “We’re focused on the environment. We care about this community. We care about our fans. And I deeply regret if people do feel that way. It certainly was not our intention.”

In May, Bass shared an Instagram post that called for anti-LGBTQ boycotts of Target and Bud Light over their support for the LGBTQ community and referred to the support as “evil” and “demonic.”

Bass later apologized for the post while speaking to reporters, but has been booed by fans at the Rogers Centre since.

On Thursday, Bass expanded on his original apology, saying he was sorry for “any harm or hurt” that he made toward the Pride community. However, he added that he stands by his “personal beliefs.”

“The video itself, obviously, I took it down,” Bass said. “I just felt like it was too much of a distraction, right? But I stand by my personal beliefs and everyone’s entitled to their personal beliefs, right? But also I mean no harm toward any groups of people. And I felt like taking that down the second time was the right thing to do and not being a distraction. As a team, our job is to win baseball games. And that’s my focus.”

Bass said he did not perceive the post to be “hateful” but added that he understood why some people viewed it as “hurtful.”

The 12-year veteran said he had a “productive” meeting with Pride Toronto’s executive director Sherwin Modeste earlier this week to understand more about LGBTQ community in the city and learn about Modeste’s story.

“Before I said anything, I really wanted just to listen to what he had to say. Those were my intentions going into the meeting, and I felt like it was very productive,” Bass said.

Bass met with Atkins and team manager John Schneider last week and according to Atkins on Thursday, Bass apologized to them and his teammates for “creating any harm and for hurting others.”

“That was not his intent,” Atkins added. “His emotion was very strong, as was mine. I was personally hurt, myself. He felt my disappointment and anger. It was a very charged exchange.”

Atkins said he felt Bass’s apology was “sincere” and that he felt he was holding himself “accountable.”

“That was the most significant piece is that he was accountable,” Atkins said. “He wanted to apologize, not just to me, which was very important, but more importantly to our community and this community. Without that, as I said, we’d have a very different outcome. And then I think the willingness to do something about it, being paramount and seeing that step taken is a good first step.”

As for a message for fans who may be against participating in the weekend’s festivities, Atkins said the organization will “continue to work hard to make sure that this is an inclusive environment and one where we will not stand for behavior that makes it otherwise.”

Bass has a 4.95 ERA in 22 relief appearances this season for the Blue Jays. Bass has also pitched for the San Diego Padres, Houston Astros, Texas Rangers, Chicago Cubs, Seattle Mariners and Miami Marlins.

In a corresponding roster move, Toronto reinstated right-hander Mitch White from the 60-day injured list.

Designated for assignment means the Blue Jays can trade Bass in the next seven days, and if they don’t, they can place him on irrevocable outright waivers – where he will be released or claimed by another team.

Twitter Much Freer Under Elon Musk, But Not Entirely Free: LGBTQ Critic CitizenGo Account Suspended

I’m Martin Gargaglione, a member of CitizenGO’s Media team and last month our account was suspended from Twitter, after posting an image on our Twitter page drawing attention to dangerous attempts of the most radical branch of the LGBT lobby to normalize pedophilia. 

On top of that, in pure censorship fashion, almost all of our tweets scheduled one week before were never published. We even had to delete everything to regain access to our account. 

The censorship we suffer at the hands of social media platforms is nothing new for us and is an open attack on pro-life and pro-family voices. Twitter moderators seek to prevent people from becoming aware of or talking about the perversions and radicalization of the LGBT lobby. 

We may have been suspended, but we will not be silenced. I am proud of who we are and what we defend. I am proud that we have such a huge and global network of active citizens who are concerned with such fundamental issues on which our freedoms and those of our children depend on. We will continue fighting against the radical lobbies and corporations who are targeting us. 

Right now, my voice and thousands of pro-life and pro-family voices worldwide, are being excluded from public debate and discriminated against just for ideological reasons!

Will you add your name to my petition demanding that Twitter CEO Elon Musk ends the censorship against us for once and for all?

The radical LGBT lobby is rapidly becoming a menace to children. By now, they are no longer hiding it. Children are increasingly the target of the LGBT lobby. Look no further than the parade of drag queens taking place all around the world in the presence of minors. 

It’s nothing new that pedophilia seeks to piggyback itself off the current LGBT ideology. There have even been initiatives to rebrand pedophiles as ‘minor-attracted people’ (MAP), using the same logic that “we cannot control who we are attracted to.” They use the same slogan as the LGBT’s “Love is Love”.

And just because we warned about this danger, we were censored on Twitter!

Since Elon Musk took over Twitter, we all believed that he would do what it takes to end the long and frustrating years of censorship and work towards a platform where at last, freedom of speech is respected … because he promised exactly that: to restore free speech rules on Twitter.

Yet, Twitter is still more restrictive than Facebook, Instagram, and Youtube – where we posted the same content and were not banned! 

We know very well that most those who manage social media platforms will stop at nothing to have their way and prohibit whatever traditional, pro-life, pro-family posts and publications.

Enough is enough! 

We need to put an end to the censorship and the suppression of our voices. There is absolutely no time to waste. We are counting on your signature to rise and fight back:

Click here to join thousands of CitizenGO members and sign the petition addressed to Elon Musk to stop the censorship on Twitter that silences pro-life, pro-family voices!

Just recently, a new #TwitterFiles investigation revealed that teams of Twitter employees built blacklists, prevented disfavored tweets from trending, and actively limited the visibility of entire accounts or even trending topics—all in secret, without informing users! 

Censorship like the one we are facing causes great difficulty for us to get key information out to the public about critical issues like child indoctrination and the latest woke radical ideas that threaten our children and their education. Not to mention that it is an open form of discrimination against people like us for simply having the opinions we have. 

The LGBT lobby, aided by most social media platforms, celebrates this censorship in an attempt to erase us, stigmatize us, and isolate us. And if we do nothing to defend our rights they will continue to push against us, because they are scared of what we say – they are scared we say the truth while they live in a lie!

I am proud of who I am, of my views and opinions, and I do not regret the post I published on CitizenGO’s Twitter account some days ago. I thought it was important for people to see how far the most radical branch of the LGBT lobby is going. 

I am equally proud of all of us who stand up together in times like these, as a network of citizens who together are making a difference. 

Add your name to my petition asking Elon Musk to re-establish freedom of speech as he once promised on Twitter and end the attacks on the pro-family voices!

With gratitude for all that you do.

Martin Gargaglione and the entire CitizenGO Team

P.S.These attacks are happening everywhere, so people across the world must know of the lengths social media platforms and big tech companies are willing to go to curb free speech, propagandize the information we have access to, and police us with how we can and cannot think.

We need you to take action NOW: we must show that we will not be intimidated, oppressed, or silenced out of the society we all live in.

Caroline Farrow Arrested in UK For “Malicious Online Post”

Have you heard the latest?

A Christian mother of five children was arrested from false accusations that she ‘hurt the feeling of an LGBT activist on Twitter.’ 

Radical left has done it. Yes, once again! 

Our Caroline Farrow, CitizenGO’s Campaign Director for the United Kingdom and Ireland, has been arrested for alleged “harassment” and “malicious online  posts”. 

Posts she didn’t even make!

We need your help to demand that the Detective Chief Inspector, David Bentley, apologise for the unwarranted actions of the police officers, who so forcedly and ruthlessly stormed in and raided Caroline’s home.

Sign NOW to demand an immediate inquiry into these actions, and an investigation into the complaint history of her accuser.

While Caroline was being arrested, the transgender activist posted a picture in his social media literally popping a champagne bottle and celebrating how a mother of five is arrested in front of their autistic children, for something she hasn’t done.

The persecution will have no end, if we don’t stand up to it NOW! If it can happen to a Christian mother of 5 in a rural English town, it can happen to anyone — including you and me!

Sincerely,

Sebastian Lukomski and the entire CitizenGO Team

P.S. If you have already signed, please share the petition with your friends.

Here’s the email we sent you earlier on this:


Caroline Farrow, CitizenGO’s Campaign Director in the United Kingdom, has been arrested from accusations that she ‘hurt the feeling of an LGBT activist on Twitter.’ They are calling the arrest justified for potential charges of “harassment” and “malicious posts”. There not a limit to how far the totalitarian establishment will go, continuously clamping down on our fundamental freedoms — particularly on our right to our own faith, thoughts, and beliefs. Demand the Detective Chief Inspector, David Bentley, inquire into the actions of the the Surrey Police Department, who have deprived Caroline of her liberty, in such an undignified way. SIGN THE PETITION

I wouldn’t be emailing you so late if it wasn’t as important as this…

In the last hours, Caroline Farrow, the CitizenGO’s Campaigns Director in the United Kingdom and one of the bravest defenders of Christian family values, has been arrested and taken away in front of the very eyes of her children under false, unfounded and unwarranted accusations that she hurt the feelings of an LGBT activist.

“Teatime. I was doing a roast chicken. Knock at the door. Two coppers. There’s been an allegation of harassment and malicious posts, and we’ve come to arrest you”. 

Caroline was dismayed… She immediately asked to see a warrant, but a 6 foot 3 police officer forced his way through the front door, arrogantly claiming that he didn’t need a warrant. 

She knew instantly who was behind these false accusations: the same radical transgender activist who previously tried to have her thrown in jail and never stopped to harass Caroline and her family! The same activist who has had two other women arrested in identical circumstances. 

It should terrify us all that the police can simply take an LGBT and transgender activist’s words for something, storm into your house and arrest you.

The Surrey Police Department, and those who called for Caroline’s arrest, should be ashamed of such a forceful, disgraceful and unnecessary intrusion, and MUST be held accountable — she needs all of our support now, more than ever.

SIGN NOW to demand an inquiry into the actions of the the Surrey Police Department, who have deprived Caroline of her liberty, in such an undignified way, and an investigation into the complaint history of her accuser.

I am sick to my stomach hearing about what has just happened to Caroline, and have no words to describe how her young children and family must be feeling right now. 

One minute you’re cooking dinner, the next, you are being taken to a cell! And just because your accuser, no matter if he’s lying, is a transgender activist!

For some time now, the authorities have been tracking Caroline, in her everyday life, as well as online, in pure authoritarian-like, Soviet fashion. 

Back in 2019, she found herself under investigation by her local police force after she described the sex-reassignment surgery performed on a sixteen-year old boy as ‘castration’, ‘a form of child abuse’ and ‘mutilation’.

Following a media backlash, transgender lobby activists did whatever it took, to ensure that Caroline was punished. One such, was Stephanie Hayden who began targeting Caroline over social media in a relentless campaign of abuse, that included attacking her Catholic faith, making several threats and attempting to get her de-platformed from the media.

Caroline’s entire family has been harassed with prank phone calls, targeted with exposure to disgusting explicit materials, and stalked on social media. 

Did it make any difference that Caroline repeatedly asked for protection from the police? NONE! Sadly, she is not a transgender activist, she’s only a Christian mother trying to stand up for her values and protect her family. 

Having monitored Caroline ever since, yet despite the lack of any notable evidence, the Police decided to raid the house, ruthlessly seizing all of her and her family’s devices, including the homework iPad that Caroline’s 10 year old daughter with autism uses for her homeschooling. 

“As I was stripped of my personal belongings, I kissed my cross necklace before putting it in a plastic bag. I’ve never taken it off since it was given to me.”

ACT NOW in defense of Caroline: demand the Detective Chief Inspector, David Bentley, to inquire into the unwarranted actions of the police officers and investigate the complaint history of her accuser.

We’ve seen recently how the establishment is clamping down viciously on our fundamental freedoms, particularly on our right to our own thoughts and beliefs, which are the core of who we are. 

We’ve seen it with Pavi Raasanen – Finnish MP who faced a jail sentence in a lengthy trial for posting a Bible verse. We’ve seen it with Maureen Martin, who was fired from her job for expressing her religious beliefs. And even most recently, Irish teacher Enoch Burke, who was jailed for refusing to validate gender ideology. 

How many countless others must there be?

Let’s not think for a moment that this is some kind of a distant reality. 

We must wake up to what is happening. We need your help immediately to fight to halt this totalitarian attack on our ideas, our beliefs, and our freedoms! It is up to us to make sure these kind of attacks do not continue to repeat themselves.

While Caroline was being arrested, the transgender activist posted a picture in his social media literally popping a champagne bottle and celebrating how a mother of five is arrested in front of their autistic children, for something she hasn’t done.

The persecution will have no end, if we don’t stand up to it NOW! If it can happen to a Christian mother of 5 in a rural English town, it can happen to anyone — including you and me!

Please sign this crucial petition today in support of Caroline and her family, and in all that they are currently going through and bring justice to the several women her accuser is making false allegations against.

Sincerely,

Sebastian Lukomski and the entire CitizenGO Team

Verdict for alleged “hate crime” this coming Friday 11:00 am EST

Dear Friends,

Please remember this coming Friday, I will be in court at 11:00 am Toronto time to hear the verdict  for my alleged (not credible allegation) hate crime. Please keep this issue in your prayers this week.

You can see my alleged “hate crime” in the picture below. I am diguised as a “gay zombie” wearing a rainbow tutu, marching in the Toronto homosexual pride parade (note the naked guy to my left with one of my Gospel packs). I have my hand in my sachel and am getting another Gospel packet, disguised as a “Zombie Safe Sex” package.

We handed out 3000 of these  precious packages and they contained the Gospel on how to receive Jesus Christ as your  Lord and Saviour,  accurate medical information on  the harms associated with the homosexual lifestyle,   a testimony of a transgender who reclaimed his manhood after turning to Christ and criticism of the Liberal Party of Canada.

For this  potentially life saving ministry the Crown Prosecutor is asking 18  months incarceration.

Even in Catholic Croatia, Criticizing the LGBTQ Agenda Can Lead To Criminal Charges

Croatia Gay Effigy Condemned: MP Files Criminal Charges Against Carnival

 By Forrest Stilin  24 February 2020

Croatia Gay Effigy Condemned: MP Files Criminal Charges Against Carnival | Arsen Bauk Boško Ćosić | Screenshot

February 24, 2020 – MP Arsen Bauk SDP (Social Democratic Party) of Croatia has announced that he will file a criminal complaint against the organizers of the “Bakova povorka”, which took place in the town of Imotski, at the local police station for burning an effigy of a gay couple. Zoran Milanović, President of Croatia, has demanded an apology from organizers and an appropriate response from the relevant legal institutions.

Numerous comments have appeared on social networks condemning the Imotski carnival (Bakova povorka), where an effigy of a same-sex couple holding a child was burned at the ceremony to widespread cheers. The child was presented in the form of SDP MP Nenad Stazić with a five-pointed star (Yugoslavia) on his forehead, according to Ana Roksandić/RTL Dnevnik on February 24, 2020.

Bauk to File Complaint Under Article 325 Croatia Criminal Code

Arsen Bauk has announced that he will file a criminal complaint against Milivoj Đuka, the organizer of the carnival parade, at the Imotski Police Station on Monday for the offense noted under Article 325 of the Criminal Code of Croatia.

There is a tradition of masks in Dalmatia, in which the people normally express their dissatisfaction with powerful political and social figures. However, the lynching of minority groups runs contrary to that tradition.

Croatia President Demands Appropriate Response for Shameful Event

Croatia President Zoran Milanović also responded to the “shameful event” on Monday morning.

“The symbolic burning of same-sex partners with a foster child in Imotski is a sad, inhumane and totally unacceptable act in the guise of the ‘Bakova povorka’ festivities. The organizers who staged this shameful event, in the name of tradition, deserve the strongest public condemnation because of the hatred they have demonstrated toward for others. Intolerance and inhumanity are not and will not be a Croatian tradition. I am seeking their public apology and the appropriate response reaction from the relevant institutions, especially as many children watched this event, thus witnessing the spread of hatred and inciting violence,” he wrote on Facebook.

Why This Progressive Reporter Thinks YouTube’s Move Against Steven Crowder Was ‘Infantile’ And ‘Ridiculous’

Why This Progressive Reporter Thinks YouTube’s Move Against Steven Crowder Was ‘Infantile’ And ‘Ridiculous’

Well, YouTube has decided to demonetize the account held by conservative commentator and comedian Steven Crowder. Why? Well, Vox writer Carlos Maza was the apparent target for Crowder for a couple of years. He did use insulting language. He did create a t-shirt that was equally insulting. You can search that for yourself, but let’s just say it was very, very politically incorrect. Still, it’s free speech. Anyways, the Crowder demonetization event has led to yet another instance where a big tech company appears to have succumbed to the social justice warrior lynch mob, whose goal is to purge conservative from all spheres of sociopolitical life. Mr. Maza appears to support that aim. Gregg Re of Fox News has more:

The episode began May 30 with a viral Twitter post by left-wing Vox personality Carlos Maza, which contained video montage of derogatory comments Crowder had made about Maza in the past two years. In the various clips, Crowder variously refers to Maza as an “angry little queer,” a “gay Mexican,” and “Mr. Lispy queer from Vox.”

Maza, an openly gay partisan activist, has himself previously used aggressive language on social media. “Milkshake them all,” he wrote May 21, referring to right-wing activists. “Humiliate them at every turn. Make them dread public organizing.”

On Tuesday, YouTube initially responded to Maza’s complaint with a statement explaining it would take no action.

“Our teams spent the last few days conducting an in-depth review of the videos flagged to us, and while we found language that was clearly hurtful, the videos as posted don’t violate our policies,” Youtube wrote at the time. “As an open platform, it’s crucial for us to allow everyone–from creators to journalists to late-night TV hosts–to express their opinions w/in the scope of our policies. Opinions can be deeply offensive, but if they don’t violate our policies, they’ll remain on our site.”

The company added: “Even if a video remains on our site, it doesn’t mean we endorse/support that viewpoint. There are other aspects of the channel that we’re still evaluating– we’ll be in touch with any further updates.”

[…]

On Twitter, Maza wrote, “I don’t know what to say. @YouTube has decided not to punish Crowder, after he spent two years harassing me for being gay and Latino. I don’t know what to say.”

[…]

…on Wednesday, YouTube apparently changed its mind about Crowder.

“Update on our continued review–we have suspended this channel’s monetization,” YouTube wrote, adding that Crowder would have to make fundamental changes to the entire channel if he wanted the decision reversed. “We came to this decision because a pattern of egregious actions has harmed the broader community and is against our YouTube Partner Program policies.”

[…]

Maza indicated he was not satisfied — and explicitly called for sweeping and fundamental changes to YouTube as a platform.

[…]

He added that he wanted larger change: “The problem isn’t Crowder and the problem isn’t monetization. The problem is that @YouTube allows monsters and bullies to become superstars, break YouTube’s rules, build an army of loyal, radicalized followers, and then make millions selling them merch that sustains their work.”

YouTube maintains that its committed to free speech, but this is just one of many instances where Silicon Valley, a left-wing bastion, has cracked down on accounts that are operated by conservatives. Crowder is a comedian. In Re’s lengthy piece, he noted that some of the remarks Crowder made about Maza were based off what the latter has said about himself. Maza has referred to himself as queer—he’s openly gay—and speaks with a lisp. “Lispy queer” is one of the terms Maza said Crowder has used to harass him. Crowder responded by saying he was merely using Maza’s own words—and he speaks with a lisp. It’s a comedy show and Crowder is not one that adheres to political correctness. YouTube said that monetization could be restored if he removed the link to his merchandise. Yet, it’s not just conservatives who are raising many an eyebrow over this move by YouTube. Michael Tracey, formerly of the Young Turks, and unabashed progressive writer that has been on a tear ripping liberal media figures for peddling the Trump-Russia collusion myth, called Maza a “crybaby.” In fact, his tweets about the Maza-Crowder war are, well, brutal.

Steven Crowder is an unfunny blowhard, but Carlos Maza is professional adult journalist employed by a major media organization — not some kid being bullied on a playground.

“If you’re too emotionally fragile to withstand insults and mockery on the internet, maybe don’t choose a profession that entails espousing provocative political opinions online,” Tracey wrote. “Insults and mockery are not “abuse” or “harassment.” You’re an adult, not a child in a classroom.”

Now, he did call Crowder an unfunny blowhard; I disagree. Full disclosure: I know and consider Crowder a friend, being one of the first people I met at BlogCon Charlotte hosted by FreedomWorks many moons ago.  Still, Tracey added, “but Carlos Maza is professional adult journalist employed by a major media organization — not some kid being bullied on a playground. The idea that YouTube needs to ‘protect’ him is ridiculous and infantile.”

In a separate tweet, aimed directly at YouTube and big tech, Tracey aptly noted “social media companies invent brand new policies out of thin air whenever an elite journalist throws a hissy fit, and then wonder why their policies so often appear incoherent/unenforceable. You can’t craft rational, neutral standards when you’re constantly placating outrage mobs.”

Yes, folks, believe it or not, Tracey is no conservative, though on Trump-Russia and this, he’s right on the money. And even on issues where you find him disagreeable to mainstream conservative thought, he’s a decent follow to get the Left’s perspective. I’m sure this won’t be the last time a conservative account was targeted by social media.

Yes, Canada is Actually Arresting Christian Pastors and Banning Them From Preaching in Public

Yes, Canada is Actually Arresting Christian Pastors and Banning Them From Preaching in Public

It is no longer legal to preach the word of Christ on the Canadian streets if others are offended.

A Christian pastor named David Lynn was arrested and charged with disturbing the peace with “derogatory comments” on Tuesday for preaching the word of God on a street corner at Church-Wellesley Village in Toronto, ON.

After the disciple of Christ was harassed by a group of unruly protesters, he was hauled off in handcuffs by law enforcement because preaching the Gospel was considered to be a criminal violation.

The LGBT mob cheered on as the man was dragged away in handcuffs, a sign of things to come if their perverse agenda continues unabated.

A police officer even accosted an individual recording the incident,

 

“It’s unfortunate that I am subject to this kind of discrimination and bullying and marginalization simply for saying God loves you, there is hope for you, I accept you and tolerate you. I shouldn’t be in this position, I didn’t do anything illegal,” Lynn said following his arrest. He is now out on bond.

Lynn was shown on the video saying frequently that “God is love,” and that he doesn’t hate anyone. This didn’t stop the police from apprehending him anyway.

“I didn’t know this was the start of the pride month…I didn’t say anything specific to the LGBTQ community, it’s all on live stream,” he said to reporters.

Lynn believes that the LGBT protesters and other hostile anti-Christians throughout his country want him to “stay in the closet” about his Christian beliefs. His arrest will send a chilling effect to others who want to preach the word of Christ in the liberal-dominated country.

“It looked as though they had an event waiting for me, and they had some form of hatred against me,” Lynn said.

Lynn is now banned from being anywhere near the areas of Bloor Street, Yonge Street, Carlton Street and Jarvis Street on conditions of his bond. He is also banned from being near any Pride event, as he is now a second-class citizen in globalist-occupied Canada.

Meanwhile, the legislature is working to expand laws against free speech, with the “Prohibiting Hate-Promoting Demonstrations at Queen’s Park Act, 2019,” being considered by Ontario lawmakers. It would ban any demonstration, rally or other activity that is deemed hateful by the government from being permissible on legislative grounds. If you don’t think that will apply to Christian speech, just ask David Lynn.

Christians are now the most persecuted faith on the planet, mostly because of how they are treated by radical Muslims in the third-world. But the third-world is coming to the West, and Christians are going to suffer mightily as a result.
