June 29, 2005 Section (15)1 of the Canadian Charter of Right and Freedoms embedded, in 1982, within the Canadian Constitution guarantees the rights of minoriites. Gays have been described by the courts as minorities. Now that gay marriage is becoming law in Canada it is time to discover the names and the works of those responsible: the doctors of psychiatry who over turned the previous body of medical opinion taking the position that homo sexualtlity is a form of insanity. Previous to this homo sexuals were subject to criminal prosection, the new definition hailed as an humanistic approach relieving those inflicted from the possibility of incarceration or worse. Now things have come full circle. Homo sexualty is classed as an entirely natural condition, those disagreeing now classified as homo phobes who at the moment are subject to civil and to criminal prosecution (hate crimes, contract law, the law of torts, constitutional law etc.)It is entirely possible that given the direction in which the law is proceeding regarding homo sexuals homo phobia may eventually be clasified as a form of insanity. So far the general public have been given limited information regarding the mediacal opinions of those concerned. We have been told that homo sexuality is an entirely involuntary state, devoid and voilition on the part of its practioneers. Does this bring it above the definition of insanity. After all shcitzophrenia is an involuntary state as is agrophobia and a host of other phobias. It seems that to me that legal and political decisions are being made based upon research not freely available to the public. Wouldn't those concerned be glad of the oportunity of advancing their careers by making public their research in the matter? If they do not a situation could arise at some future date where a legal action, say under the family law act or under an act covering wills, trusts and estates where the plaintiff challenges the right of the homo sexual bride or husband by taking the position that the decision taken by the courts legalizing gay marriage is ultra virus as it is based upon flawed evidence regarding homosexuality being a natural state. Expert witnesses will be called from the medical profession for and against the legal definition of homo sexuality making the Scopes trial look like a routine traffic ticket court proceedings.This projection of future events begs the question: why did those in the medical profession give in without a fight regarding the medical definition of homo sexuality, and why do those who support the new definition of homo sexuality not publish their papers in a format easily understood by the layman. ------------ About the author Mike Haran: A paralegal who writes legal articles. http://ca.geocities.com/manzikertca Email: 4258529II@canada.com Tell a friend about this site! ------------ |
