Canada under left-wing Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has taken Cancel Culture to a new depth: A prison cell.
A new Canadian law recently outlawed “conversion therapy,” and imposes a prison sentence of up to five years on those who may counsel such therapy to young members of the LGBTQ community.
As The Daily Wire reported, the law, known as C4, “bans any counseling that advocates for the Christian standard that sex is reserved for one man and one woman within marriage.” The measure also “potentially criminalizes any instruction confirming that human beings are created as wholly male or female from birth.”
According to the law, “conversion therapy” is defined as any “practice, treatment, or service” that is designed to change a person’s sexual orientation to heterosexual or change a person’s gender identity to cisgender.
It’s also now illegal in Canada to advocate changing a person’s gender expression so that it conforms to the sex assigned to the person at birth, or to repress or reduce non-heterosexual attraction or sexual behavior.
Moreover, it’s also “conversion therapy” to repress a person’s “non-cisgender gender identity,” or repress or reduce a person’s gender expression that does not conform to the sex assigned to the person at birth.
“Notably,” The Daily Wire added, “influencing a person’s sexuality or gender identity is only considered ‘conversion therapy’ when it falls inline with biblical teachings; influencing a minor or adult to be gay, nonbinary, or transgender, is acceptable.”
One Canadian Christian pastor, Jacob Reaume, told The Daily Wire that the law essentially will “make the preaching of the biblical gospel a criminal act.”
“The biblical gospel is a message of conversion, whereby Christ causes sinners to be born-again, thus converting them from sinful propensities to godliness,” Reaume added.
“The bill’s language is vague enough that many think it might criminalize a biblical call to forsake sodomitic propensities to embrace righteousness.”
