1. In 1989, in Madison, Wisconsin, two heterosexual women who advertised for a roommate and turned down a woman because she was a lesbian, were summoned before Madison's Equal Opportunity Commission, interrogated for hours, ordered to pay thousands in damages, and forced to attend "sensitivity training" (brainwashing?) sessions at a local homosexual organization. (After three years, enormous public outcry and a $10,000 legal tab, the Madison City Council dropped the penalties.)¹

2. In 1991, well-known liberal attorney Alan Dershowicz acknowledged that: "Political correctness is the most serious issue on college campuses. We are tolerating and teaching intolerance and hypocrisy [and, he could have added, censorship and fascism, etc.]."²

3. According to a 1991 Time magazine article: "Several schools have punished students for expressing religious objections to homosexuality or, as at the University of Washington, questioning a professor's assertion that lesbians make the best mothers."³

4. In 1991, a homosexual named Eric Pollard wrote the following about the radical homosexual group ACT-UP: "I have helped to create a truly fascist organization....[W]e subscribed to consciously subversive modes, drawn largely from the voluminous Mein Kampf [of Hitler], which some of us studied as a working model."⁴

5. In 1991, a Minneapolis Catholic Archdiocese was fined $15,000 and assessed $20,000 in damages after homosexuals complained that the church denied them their "right" to meet in church-owned facilities.⁵

6. In 1991, mandatory "sensitivity training" lectures were held at a state hospital in Pueblo, Colorado. Employees were urged to sign a form declaring their "imperfect attitudes toward gays and lesbians" and to wear buttons stating "it's okay to be gay." Those who declined were walked to the front, told to turn and face their colleagues.⁶

7. In 1992, the Attorney General of Hawaii ruled that, under a state "gay rights" (sad wrongs) law, church leaders are legally forced to consider homosexuals for all church positions (except the pastorate itself).⁷

8. In 1992, Denver public school teachers, including kindergarten teachers, came under pressure from their superiors to teach homosexuality is normal.⁸

9. In 1994, in Sweden, an evangelical pastor was jailed for preaching a sermon from Romans 1 ruled to be "belittling" to homosexuals.⁹

10. In 1994, the government of Ontario, Canada, imposed a speech code law on its universities, banning comments about sexual orientation found to cause a "negative environment or climate." (Is that vague enough?) Speech overheard off-campus, at social functions, during academic work, even over the telephone, can be punished. Guilty students could be suspended, forced into "sensitivity training," or even expelled.¹⁰

11. In 1995, a federal district court affirmed a New Jersey "gay rights" (sad wrongs) amendment which makes it illegal(!) to say or print anything which could indirectly "promote discrimination" against homosexuals.¹¹

12. In 2000, Daniel Mindus reported in National Review: "Recognizing the gap between their lesson plans and most parents sensibilities, mainstream sex educators openly embrace a policy of secrecy. The Centers for Disease Control lauds one program, Becoming a Responsible Teen, that insists students sign a contract of secrecy; if a student talks to his parents about what he has learned in class, he is thrown out of the program."¹²

13. In October 2002, John Leo of U.S. News & World Report noted that: "In Saskatchewan [Canada] last year, a newspaper was fined for publishing an ad that quoted Bible verses on homosexuality. For this [so-called] human-rights violation, the Saskatoon StarPhoenix and the man who took out the ad had to pay $1,500."¹³And he also reported: "Sweden is about to forge ahead of Saskatchewan by passing a constitutional amendment banning all speech or material opposing homosexuality. When it does, remarks that offend gays could bring a jail term of up to four years. Religious objections to homosexuality would not be allowed, even in churches."¹⁴

14. In February 2004 a Canadian teacher named Chris Kempling was warned by Justice Ronald Holmes of the British Columbia Supreme Court that he "must either stop publishing [in his hometown newspaper via letters to the editor] his Christian beliefs about the immorality of homosexual behavior or forfeit his job as a secondary school teacher...[even though] Holmes acknowledged that Kempling had 'a long and unblemished teaching career, and a notable record of community service.'"¹⁵ The fact that Kempling was merely stating facts (e.g., that homosexuals tend to be promiscuous) was irrelevant. "In 1990 Chief Justice Brian Dickson of the Supreme Court of Canada had stipulated in Canada (Human Rights Commission) v. Taylor that neither truth nor lack of evil intent is a defense against a charge of making a public statement that is likely to expose a person to hatred or contempt on the basis of sexual orientation or any other prohibited ground of discrimination in a human rights code."¹⁶

15. "A Swedish court [in 2004] sentenced a Pentecostal pastor to one month in prison after finding him guilty of offending homosexuals in a sermon....[The] pastor said he merely wanted to make clear the biblical view on homosexuality."¹⁷

16. In May 2005 a Canadian man was "charged and ordered to pay $17,500 in damages to several [complaining] homosexuals as a result of a flier he distributed in Regina, containing warnings against the dangers of a [demonstrably unhealthy] homosexual lifestyle."¹⁸

17. In June 2008 in Canada the Rev. Stephen Boissoin---for merely writing a letter to the editor of a newspaper in Alberta condemning the "homosexual agenda," which letter did NOT contain hateful words---was fined $5,000 and was ordered to stop making "disparaging remarks" about homosexuals in emails and in newspapers and on radio (etc., etc.) FOR THE REST OF HIS LIFE by liberal fascists, by rank liberal bigots, on Alberta's so-called Human Rights Commission.

These are just a few examples of the many outrages liberals are perpetrating in this country and elsewhere. If these don't motivate you to get involved in protecting your freedoms, we don't know what will.
