Supreme Court upholds hate laws in case involving anti-gay proselytizer

Lucas Lung, a lawyer with Lerners LLP in Toronto who acted for the Canadian Jewish Congress, an intevenor in the case, said he was still studying the ruling but praised it for upholding the existing definition of hate. He said the discussion of free speech around the case threatened to overshadow the effect of Mr. Whatcott's speech on equality rights: “We can't lose sight of the fact that there are victims here whose equality rights have been infringed.”
