Dozens of people lined up Thursday night to air opposition to and support for Manitoba’s plan to add gender expression to the human rights code — a move that would include protections for people to be called by their preferred pronouns.
Derek deVries, pastor at Park City Gospel Church in Winnipeg, said the NDP government’s bill would force Christians to go against their beliefs.
“This (proposed) law forbids Christians from following Christ’s example. It requires speech he would not permit,” deVries told a legislature committee.
It’s also like. Mostly a government thing for official services and paperwork. And for employment and healthcare and stuff. Like Bill C16 does not really impact private speech except in cases of persistent harassment.
