So who is up for a fight?

I got what I consider to be hate mail, bulk style, which means all of my neighbours got it too. Basically it implicates queer individuals as being immoral and socially corrupt and corrupting.

Okay, yeah, I'd like my MP to vote yes for equal marriage, however I feel the larger issue is that I should never be intimidated and marginalized by materials distributed through Canada Post, a Crown Corporation. That is my government consenting to allow members of its population to be emotionally abused.

That is how I feel, angry and marginalized.

I agree with you on this, as long as we're not saying that anything that theoreticaly makes someone uncomfortable cannot be mailed, but instead you're not allowed to to have mass mailed material that attacks people's constitutionaly protected freedoms.

Your best bet would be to go over the letter and see if it qualifies has hate literature. If that is the case, you must go to the police to have this resolved.

Hate mail? What is this? I'll watch out for it myself.

Who produced the materials? I wouldn't mind seeing it and adding my own two cents. I've increasingly had issues with Christians and right-ringed society who paint all homosexuals with the same brush.

This is NOT what we are called to do as Christians! When it's not a case of standing up for the rights of an innocent person (ie it's a sin that doesn't directly affect anyone else), Christians are called to respond with love and with humility and shame towards their own sins. (Matthew 7:1-5). Jesus himself said "Let he who is without sin cast the first stone." (John 8:3-11)

I'm sorry there are so many people who get haughty about their own "righteousness" and turn that pride against others. The Bible is very clear that all sins are equally damnable in God's eyes, so their pride is as bad a sin as what they perceive yours to be. While we are called to "Judge for [our]selves whether [something]is right" (Luke 12:57), we are not to point fingers and condemn as evil - because Matthew 7 as well as Romans 14:10, tells us that God is going to judge us by the same standards we're using to condemn others.

I hope you'll get the chance to come to the PLAGAL talk on Wednesday, you'll find that not all Christians are quite so hateful.

But yeah, let me know who's putting this kind of stuff out... grrr
