His name is Stephen Boissoin.

Unbelievable! I had not heard that story.

You know what is really stupid about these people? They are making people, who otherwise would not hate them, start to do just that. Their actions, which result from a militant belief in their own righteousnous, are actually spurring people to hate them.

I will give one minor semi-correction. He can speak about homosexuality but he can never say anything that anyone might consider "disparaging". Given who he is and what he does, a reasonable person would consider that an effective speech ban on the subject for the rest of his life.

Nobody has been made to do anything, yet, and probably won't.

If you're following Goldberg's usage, you're hopelessly incorrect.

Mussolini didn't use his power the way the Canadians are doing.
