CAL THOMAS COMMENTARY APRIL 3, 2024
SCOTLAND HAS PASSED A NEW SO-CALLED “HATE LAW” AND ITS FIRST VICTIM MAY BE THE COUNTRY’S MOST FAMOUS CONTEMPORARY WRITER – J.K. ROWLING, AUTHOR OF THE HIGHLY SUCCESSFUL HARRY POTTER SERIES.
WHATEVER YOU THINK OF HARRY POTTER, ROWLING FACES JAIL UNDER THIS NEW LAW FOR DARING TO SAY THERE ARE ONLY TWO GENDERS – MALE AND FEMALE AND STANDING FOR TRADITIONAL MARRIAGE.
ROWLING FIRED BACK AGAINST THE LAW WHICH TOOK EFFECT MONDAY, SAYING: “IF WHAT I’VE WRITTEN…QUALIFIED AS AN OFFENSE UNDER THE TERMS OF THE NEW ACT, I LOOK FORWARD TO BRING ARRESTED WHEN I RETURN TO THE BIRTHPLACE OF THE SCOTISH ENLIGHTENMENT.”
THE NEW LAW IS AN ATTACK ON FREE SPEECH, FREEDOM OF RELIGION AND CONSCIENCE. IT IS ANOTHER EXAMPLE OF OVERREACH BY THE STATE. IN CANADA PREACHERS ARE BEING PUNISHED FOR SPEAKING AGAINST HOMOSEXUAL PRACTICE. IT’S ONLY A MATTER OF TIME BEFORE SOMETHING LIKE THIS HAPPENS IN AMERICA. WE LIVE IN A POST CHRISTIAN, POST MODERN AGE WHEN EVERYTHING IS TO BE TOLERATED, EXCEPT PEOPLE WHO BELIEVE OTHERWISE.
GET READY FOR IT. SCRIPTURE FORECASTS IT. WHAT DID WE EXPECT THE END TIMES TO LOOK LIKE WHEN WHAT IS EVIL IS CALLED GOOD AND GOOD IS CALLED EVIL? I’M CAL THOMAS.
RE: J.K. Rowling article
The latest Scottish “Gender hate speech” ruling sounds like something straight out of George Orwell’s 1984 dystopia — Newspeak. Perhaps there will be a “Ministry of Love” reeducation center for those who protest, something like a Lubyanka Prison Russian-style.
