Another Call for the Elimination of
Homophobia and, Presumably, Homophobes
Report for June 6, 2003
In those countries which have hate crime laws and
hate speech laws regarding "sexual orientation," the sodomites
are now moving into their next phase to crush all dissent to their
perverted goals. Now the government authorities of nations such as Canada
are moving to eliminate "homophobia" in all its virulent forms,
such as public preaching against sexual perversion. To foist their tyranny
on an unsuspecting (dumb, bread-and-circus) citizenry, the homo-fascists
simply burn down one Reichstag building after another. Below you will find
a first rate example of sodomite blame shifting. The purpose of the
exercise is summed up by sodomite Bob Challis who, speaking of homophobia,
posits, "It's something that has to change." Bob is the one who
needs to change. He needs to become a "new creature" (2
Corinthians 5:17) through "repentance toward God, and faith toward
our Lord Jesus Christ" (Acts 20:21). Meanwhile, Christians need to
wake up, or their children may well become mere creatures of a sodomite
state.
Homophobia leading to deaths, says group

SASKATOON -- Gay and Lesbian Health Services (GLHS) of Saskatoon says 15
people in Canada die prematurely every day as a result of homophobia.
The organization also says support services for gays and lesbians need
more funding to combat the problem.
A recent study commissioned by GLHS reviewed existing research on the
human impacts of myths, stereotypes, and negative attitudes about
homosexual people.
GLHS says the experience of living in a climate of hate and intolerance
causes people to adopt coping mechanisms that impact on their health.
"Homophobia is killing us and those responsible for the health of all
Canadians don't seem to give a damn," said GLHS Executive Director
Gens Hellquist at a news conference Tuesday.
He said research has shown higher rates of suicide, alcoholism, illicit
drug use, smoking, depression, murder, unemployment, and HIV AIDS in the
gay, lesbian, bisexual, and transgendered population.
The review says that 5,500 Canadians die each year as a result of
homophobia, but Hellquist said if could include the gay and lesbian
community as a whole, the numbers would be higher.
Other research says the average life expectancy of a gay male in Canada is
55 years, 20 years less than the average and comparable to third world
life expectancies.
Erin Scriven, GLHS board co-chair, said organizations representing other
groups, such as aboriginals, women, and the disabled, receive
significantly more funding that GLHS, which is the only support service of
its kind in the province.
Dr. Ross Findlater, chief medical health officer for the province, said
addiction, disease, and mental health are serious health issues among the
gay, lesbian, and bisexual population.
But to assume that all health problems among that population are caused by
homophobia is a "pretty big leap of faith," he said in an
interview Tuesday.
"There's a role in the social environment in perhaps pushing them
towards (unhealthy behaviours) but there's also personal
responsibility," he said.
"There are also a lot of their own behaviours that cause infections
and lead to addictions," Findlater said.
Bob Challis was afraid to reveal his homosexuality until he was in his
40s. He said Tuesday when he was "outed" at his workplace,
co-workers made baseless allegations that he had sexually abused mentally
challenged clients.
"I know the turmoil that homophobia causes in people's lives and what
that can do to you," said Challis, the fund development officer for
GLHS. "It's something that has to change."
Challis said homophobia was a factor in triggering his bouts with
depression and bipolar disorder.
