Another Early Warning
for Americans
Report for June 25, 2004
Now let's get this straight. A
sodomite Frenchman was attacked and burned. Who knows what the victim may
have previously done to his assailant, but nothing justifies setting a
human being on fire. France's president says that the way to put an end to
such crimes is to outlaw "homophobic remarks." So according to
this growing school of thought, the key to making violent criminals afraid
to assault sodomites is to make it a felony for law-abiding, moral people
to speak against sodomy. Let's put it another way: the key to stopping
violent lawbreakers from attacking sexual anarchists is to silence those
who are neither of the above, including Christians who preach both law and
grace from God's Word. France's new law goes well beyond the classic,
subjective, dangerous, "incite to violence" standard. The reader
will note in the story below that soon Frenchmen will face a hefty fine
and a year in prison for simply saying that sodomy is an unfruitful work
of darkness which Christians are called to reprove. That would be
discrimination. They will face the same consequences for expressing
"hate" if they explain that homosexual acts are evil and that
the Bible commands, "Let love be without dissimulation. Abhor that
which is evil; cleave to that which is good" (Romans 12:9).
Americans who sit with folded
hands while this tyrannical nightmare unfolds in other countries will soon
enough reap in this country what they have sown. How many canaries have to
die in the mine shaft before we realize that the same poison is drifting
through our culture and civil government?
France outlaws homophobia
Australian Broadcasting Corporation, June 24, 2004

The French Government has
approved a Bill to outlaw homophobia, conceived in the wake of a vicious
attack on a gay man who was badly burned earlier this year.
The Bill, which will go before
parliament next month, will make "incitement to discrimination,
hatred or violence against a person on the basis of gender or sexual
orientation" punishable by a year in prison and a 45,000 euro
fine.
It puts sexist and homophobic
remarks on the same criminal level as words encouraging racism or
anti-Semitism.
At the weekly cabinet meeting,
President Jacques Chirac said he hoped the law would "bring to an
abrupt end these very serious acts," his spokesman said.
Justice Minister Dominique Perben
said the proposed law owed much to the story of Sebastian Nouchet, who was
attacked at his home in northern France in January and sprayed with
petrol.
"This law is in some way the
Nouchet law," he said.
The Bill enters the process of
ratification just after the centre-right Government took steps to punish a
mayor, the Green party politician Noel Mamere, who earlier this month
performed France's first ever gay marriage ceremony.
