Daniels Last week Canadian Human Rights Commis- sioner, Max Yalden, criticized the Canadian government for failing to enact legislation banning discrimination based on one's sexual orientation. He said: "I remind the government that the uni- versal declaration from the United Nations on human rights -- and the Canadian Human Rights Act -- says all human beings are equal in rights. All. That doesn't mean 'all minus homo- sexuals." One would think dequate that the Canadi it the legal protection that they deserve, the recog: nition for what Oscar Wilde 'called 'the nfost beautiful, fine and noble form of affection™. Not only are we asked to tolerate homosexuality, * many gays demand that we approve, even appreciate, their.chosen way of life. Homosexual acts between consenting adults . are alreafly protected by law," but legality does not require approval. It seems to me that legislation singling out sexual orientation for Human Rights Act prohib- its discrimination based on age, sex, race, religion and disabilities. However, re- sponding to the incessant pressure, the Minister repeated his promise to enact legislation banning discrimination based on sexual orientation. Those who have followed TC is an pt to force Canadians to give moral approval to this lifestyle. ut there is a deeper ncern in this discussion. Primg<" Identifying sexual orien- tation as something requir- ing legal protection may prove to be disastrous in the long run. Is not pedophilia a sexual ori ion? What the ongoing campaign promoting homosexuality as a legitimate lifestyle are beginning to realize the so- called gay agenda strives for more than simple legal protection, as the following letter to the Toronto Star editor implies. "What gays truly want is about « bestiality? Our leaders are playing with fire in this matter. Let's be clear about what 'is at stake in proposed sexual orientation legis- lation. Since sexual orien- tation arguments run along the lines of "I was born this way, and have no choice, " the door is opened for * pedophiles to use the same defense. If homosexuals find comfort in a proposed sexual orientation law, so will pedophiles. | I am not equating homosexuality with pedo- philia, but I am saying that the arguments work both ways. If human rights protection is warranted for homosexual orientation, then it must be warranted for a pedophiliac orien- 'tation, for both are sexual orientations. This whole discussion brings to mind the words of the ancient Jewish prophet , Isaiah: TWoe] to those who call [evil good] and [good evil], who put darkness for light and light for darkness, who put bitter for sweet and sweet for bitter" (Isaiah 5:30 NIV). Vie still have time to raise the warning, to appeal to the government to show moral sense, and to support, those MP's who have openly stated their disapproval for this proposed legislation.
