Professor Mul\u00e9 explained how the tropes of anti-gay discrimination, present in the flyer, impact the community. The perspective of the target community is not only relevant&nbsp;<\/em><em>per se<\/em><em>&nbsp;in an analysis of hate speech, but it is critically important to an assessment of whether the challenged speech causes \u201cemotional distress\u201d to the members of that community: see&nbsp;<\/em><em>Ward v. Quebec (Commission des droits de la personne et des droits de la jeunesse)<\/em><em>, 2021 SCC 43, 463 D.L.R. (4th) 567, at paras. 62, 75, 83-84. The perspective of the gay male community as it relates to the tropes present in the flyer might strengthen (or diminish) the hatefulness of Mr.&nbsp;Whatcott\u2019s communication.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>[<a>44<\/a>]&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Emotional distress caused to individual members of the group is one of the pressing harms that anti-hate speech laws aim to address. The second, identified in&nbsp;<\/em><em>Keegstra<\/em><em>,&nbsp;<\/em><em>Taylor<\/em><em>, and&nbsp;<\/em><em>Whatcott (SCC)<\/em><em>&nbsp;is the social impact of hateful speech against a targeted group. \u201cIf a group of people can be considered inferior, subhuman, or lawless, it is easier to justify denying the group and its members equal rights or status\u201d:&nbsp;<\/em><em>Whatcott (SCC)<\/em><em>, at para. 74. Professor Mul\u00e9\u2019s evidence aimed to help the trier of fact situate Mr. Whatcott\u2019s communication via the flyer in its social and historical context.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>[<a>45<\/a>]&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;In sum, the trial judge failed to address whether situating the flyer in its social and historical context was necessary for the trier of fact to determine whether the text, images, and the flyer as a whole, relied on stereotypes and tropes about gay men that expose them to feelings of detestation and vilification in the eyes of the reasonable member of society.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you want to know more about \u201cexpert\u201d Nick Mule\u2019 and his valuable \u201cacademic\u201d contributions on important subjects, such as kink, BDSM, doing sodomy while high on meth, the importance of legalizing the doing of sodomy in public parks, and queering social work, go here: <a href=\"https:\/\/profiles.laps.yorku.ca\/profiles\/nickmule\/\">https:\/\/profiles.laps.yorku.ca\/profiles\/nickmule\/<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>No doubt Lorne Sossin he\/him is on to something when he wants the next trial judge to consider the \u201cexpert\u201d wisdom of Nick Mule\u2019 in figuring out whether my flyer is \u201chate speech\u201d for which the Ontario Attorney General is on record for putting out a Canada Wide Arrest Warrant and is seeking 18 months incarceration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>By the way what does this flyer say that is so complicated and serious that it needs Nick Mule\u2019s wisdom; one acquittal, and more than seven years after the fact, to help a judge determine whether or not my flyer is criminal \u201chate speech?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To see the flyer for yourself go here: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.massresistance.org\/docs\/gen3\/18b\/Bill-Whatcott-arrest-warrant\/images\/Gay-Zombies-flier.pdf\">https:\/\/www.massresistance.org\/docs\/gen3\/18b\/Bill-Whatcott-arrest-warrant\/images\/Gay-Zombies-flier.pdf<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Interestingly, a Russian group by the name of <em>\u201cFoundation for the Fight against Repressions\u201d<\/em> inquired about my court battles and persecutions. I looked into them a little and discovered their founder is Yevgeny Prigozhin, the owner of Wagner mercenary group. Anyways, I gave them an interview and they wrote an article with what might be quite a few spelling errors (English is not their first language), or maybe the spelling and grammatical errors are from Google translate, as I had to translate this article from Cryllic to English. There are also some factual errors regarding my numerous cases over the years, but the gist of my journey and the consequences of speaking out against abortion and homosexuality in Canada is clear enough in this Russian article. <a href=\"https:\/\/fondfbr.ru\/stati\/bill-whatcott\/\">https:\/\/fondfbr.ru\/stati\/bill-whatcott\/<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For a prayer item, and just so you know, I am currently in eastern Europe and seeking political\/religious asylum. While I had and continue to have a lot of confidence in my lawyer John Rosen; I have no confidence in Canada\u2019s legal system, especially our Supreme Court of Canada which would be my next step. And at age 55, I don\u2019t really feel like sitting in an Ontario Correctional Centre for the next 18 months and then starting over when I get out with a so-called \u201chate crime\u201d conviction on my criminal record. Twenty years ago, this flyer would never have resulted in a hate crime investigation in Canada, never mind a charge for an indictable offence that would lead to a Canada wide arrest warrant and an unfavourable ruling from an appeals court. No police force would have laid such a charge, and no Attorney General would have issued an arrest warrant, as freedom of speech was actually a thing in Canada. Now the state of freedom of speech and religious freedom in Canada is such, that a conviction is highly likely and the conviction will likely be upheld in the higher courts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>My name <em>Whatcott <\/em>is already cited in a dreadful Supreme Court of Canada ruling which was unequivocal that truth was not a defense against prosecutions conducted by Human Rights Tribunals, see <em>Saskatchewan Human Rights Commission vs Whatcott. <\/em><a href=\"https:\/\/scc-csc.lexum.com\/scc-csc\/scc-csc\/en\/item\/12876\/index.do\">https:\/\/scc-csc.lexum.com\/scc-csc\/scc-csc\/en\/item\/12876\/index.do<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Since the dreadul <em>Whatcott <\/em>decision in 2013, the two Trudeau appointees to the Supreme Court have insured the court will be even less sympathetic to Christian speech on moral issues in the public square. I don\u2019t believe I would be doing Canadian Christians and others who value freedom any favour by taking this flyer to the Supreme Court of Canada and setting an even worse precedent, in the area of criminal law no less.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In Christ\u2019s Service, Bill Whatcott<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>\u201c<\/strong><em><strong>But even if you should suffer for righteousness\u2019 sake, you will be blessed.&nbsp;Have no fear of them,&nbsp;nor be troubled,&nbsp;but&nbsp;in your hearts honor Christ the Lord as holy,&nbsp;always being prepared to make a defense to anyone who asks you for a reason for the hope that is in you; yet do it with gentleness and&nbsp;respect,<\/strong><\/em><strong><em>\u201c<\/em><\/strong> <strong>1 Peter 3:14,15<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Vengeful Grinding of the Ontario &#8220;Justice&#8221; System: Ontario Court of Appeal orders Bill Whatcott to go on trial again for Gospel flyer delivered at Toronto Homosexual Parade 7 years&nbsp;ago To read the unanimous three judge decision from the Ontario &hellip; <a href=\"https:\/\/cafe.nfshost.com\/?p=8919\">Continue reading <span class=\"meta-nav\">&rarr;<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[4979,94,1857,4976,4978,4977,4980,4981],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/cafe.nfshost.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8919"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/cafe.nfshost.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/cafe.nfshost.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cafe.nfshost.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cafe.nfshost.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=8919"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/cafe.nfshost.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8919\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":8920,"href":"https:\/\/cafe.nfshost.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8919\/revisions\/8920"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/cafe.nfshost.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=8919"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cafe.nfshost.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=8919"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cafe.nfshost.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=8919"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
