Judge Dismisses $104-million Class Action Suit to Silence Christian Preacher Bill Whatcott but Then Orders He Reveal Names of Supporters<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n

After Canada’s Jewish lobby, the most mortal enemies of free speech in Canada are the activists the the LGBTQ homosexual\/lesbian\/transgendered and sexually disfunctional crowd. Irrepressible evangelist Bill Whatcott keeps finding ways to bring his hard Gospel admonitions to the LGBTQ crowd. Last summer, he and some supporters infiltrated Toronto’s Gay Pride Parade as Gay Zombies. He handed out tracts and condoms. The hideous revenge planned for him was a $104-million class action suit launched by homosexual activists and lawyers. The idea was to saddle Mr. Whatcott and those who joined or financially supported him with a horrific judgement (and costs). The clear point of this intimidation was to warn potential supporters: “You could be on the hook for huge costs. Nightmares of losing one’s home or bank account were the clear threat. Some of Mr. Whatcott’s more timid supporters have already backed off.<\/span><\/p>\n

From the start, the claim was preposterous, but with Canada’s courts deeply infiltrated by homo-friendly elements and the Cultural Marxist creed of victimology, one never knows. As the LifeSiteNews<\/b> report below explains, the judge threw out the class action suit BUT preached that the plaintiffs might pursue other civil actions against Bill and his band. To that end, he ordered Bill to reveal the names of his supporters. Bill announced he’d rather go to prison. His lawyers are appealing the judge’s extraordinary order.<\/span><\/p>\n

In the never ending battle to secure our ancient liberties of free speech from the demonic clutches of the thought control freaks, this is definiItely a case to watch.<\/span><\/p>\n

\n<\/b>ONTARIO, April 19, 2017 (LifeSiteNews<\/b>) \u2013 An Ontario judge has ordered a Christian who evangelizes homosexuals to identify his financial backers and anonymous friends who helped him hand out info packets about the physical and spiritual dangers of anal sex at Toronto\u2019s [Gay] Pride Parade<\/b> last year. \u201cThere could be serious repercussions for me, including prolonged jail time if I don’t comply with the order to disclose the names of my supporters,\u201d said Christian activist Bill Whatcott<\/b>.\u00a0 \u201cGenerally, Christians should comply with secular courts, but not when complying harms the innocent or when the order is unjust in the eyes of God,\u201d he added.\u00a0 Homosexual activists last year launched a $104 million class-action lawsuit against Whatcott for defamation after he and a handful of friends infiltrated the [Toronto Gay] Pride Parade<\/b> dressed as green “gay zombies.\u201d They handed out what looked to be free condoms in packets that said \u201cZombie Safe Sex\u201d but which contained messages about the physical and spiritual dangers of homosexual practices. The messages encouraged active homosexuals to change their lifestyle and accept the Christian faith.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n


\nLast month, Justice Paul Perell<\/b> dismissed the lawsuit on a technicality, ruling in\u00a0<\/span>Hudspeth v. Whatcott<\/i>\u00a0<\/span>that the homosexual activists George Smitherman<\/b> and Christopher Hudspeth<\/b> could not claim defamation of an entire group, such as the Pride Parade<\/b> participants or the \u201cLGTBTQ2SI Community<\/b>,\u201d but only of individuals.\u00a0[You need a politically correct guidebook to keep track of the growing number of sexually weird privileged groups.]<\/p>\n

But then in a surprise move in the same ruling, the judge ordered Whatcott to deliver the names of a half a dozen anonymous \u201czombies\u201d who helped hand out the info packets as well as the \u201cunidentified financial backers\u201d who funded the group\u2019s expenses.\u00a0 The judge argued that knowing the identities of the individuals who helped Whatcott was \u201cnecessary\u201d to the homosexual activists if they were to decide in the future to go ahead with further legal action on grounds that the judge himself suggested.
\nBut Whatcott said he would rather go to jail than betray his friends and supporters to homosexual activists who have publicly promised to \u201cpunish them\u201d with a multimillion-dollar lawsuit.<\/p>\n

Instead of letting Whatcott face jail time for being in contempt of court in not handing over the names of his friends and supporters, Whatcott\u2019s lawyers are appealing the ruling.<\/p>\n

In the appeal, Charles Lugosi<\/b> and Findlay McCarthy<\/b> argue that Judge Perell \u201cerred\u201d in ordering Whatcott to reveal the identities of the members of his group after having dismissed the case.\u00a0 \u201cOnce it was determined that the action could not proceed as a class proceeding and that the representative plaintiffs [Smitherman and Hudspeth] had no cause of action, then the action should [have] been dismissed, as the plaintiffs were no longer capable of representing members of the classes,\u201d they argued in the appeal.<\/p>\n

Whatcott said that the judge ordering him to betray his friends so that homosexual activists can bring legal action against them shows how far the nation has \u201cturn[ed] its back on God\u201d as it \u201cembraces sexual libertinism as its new idol.
\nIndeed, a judge helping the losing party to refile its claim and ordering the winning party to reveal the identities of friends and helpers to the losers so the helpers of the winning side can be sued is unheard of in property, divorce, criminal, or injury cases,\u201d he said. \u201cOnly in a case involving homosexual activism where the homosexual activists are seeking to silence the voice of Christians could such a deviation from established legal norms be contemplated,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

Whatcott has launched a GoGetFunding<\/b> page to raise $50,000 to help cover his legal costs. So far, he has raised $10,706 (21 percent) of his goal.\u00a0\u201cIf you agree with me this lawsuit is unjust and if you would like to help, please do so,\u201d he wrote on his funding page titled\u00a0“Help Bill protect his friends and stay out of jail!”<\/b><\/p>\n

Whatcott\u2019s lawyers are also arguing that the judge erred in denying costs to Whatcott despite having thrown out the case.
\n\u201cIt would be wrong to put a defendant [Whatcott] to the expense of the litigation process if there is no reasonable cause of action against that defendant on the face of the pleading,\u201d they argued.<\/span><\/p>\n


\n\u201cJustice Perell, in striking the Statement of Claim<\/b> as disclosing no reasonable causes of action, should have awarded the defendant to recover the full legal costs of the motion to strike,\u201d they added.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
