HALIFAX, Nov. 21, 2012 ( LifeSiteNews.com ) – As Canada ’s Parliament debates what pro-family organizations have dubbed the ‘Bathroom Bill’, Nova Scotia ’s government has proposed its own version of the controversial legislation that would institute human rights protections for people struggling with “gender identity” issues.

Angered over the Tories ’ efforts to filibuster debate on the bill, which has sparked a huge backlash by parents and religious leaders over concerns that it threatens parental rights and religious freedom, Milloy invoked a time allocation order to push the bill into committee after only 40 minutes debate from each party. The bill could move to committee as quickly as next week and face a final vote by the end of May. Both the Opposition Progressive Conservatives and the New Democratic Party are upset over the rare move. “This is anti-democratic at its core. We never support time allocation,” New Democrat MPP Cheri DiNovo told Xtra. The Tories have been promoting their own anti-bullying b

Bill C-389, which sought to add “gender identity” and “ gender expression ” to the Canada Human Rights Act and the Criminal Code’s hate crimes section, had passed the House of Commons in February in a narrow vote of 143-135.  The new bill will be sponsored by the NDP ’s new “ LGBTT ” critic Randall Garrison , reports the Toronto Sun. The February vote was largely along party lines, with the Conservatives opposing and the Liberals, NDP, and Bloc supporting.  Six Conservatives voted in favor, including Ministers John Baird and James Moore. The bill was opposed by numerous religious and pro-family organizations,including the Evangelical Fellowship of Canada , the Catholic Organization for Life and Family, Campaign Life Coalition , REAL Women of Canada , and the Canada F

Introducing the resolution, which was passed unanimously, outgoing “ LGBT ” co-chair Matthew McLaughlin specifically urged the government to revoke the status of Exodus Global Alliance , and asked that they investigate other ex-gay groups as well. “ Ex-gay organisations … take advantage of LGB people, often in vulnerable family situations or at grips with depression and self-hatred, and browbeat them — saying that LGB people never live happy lives, that we are unhealthy and unwhole, and that we never experience love and that the only hope lies in their therapies,” said McLaughlin, according to the homosexual blog Slap Upside the Head.
