I'm Melissa Nakhavoly at the corner of Church and Wellesley where the scene right now is much quieter than it was earlier this evening
Two Christian ministries came here to spread what they say was the Word of God
leading to tense moments after members of this community say they were actually spreading homophobic messages
About 15 people from the Christ's Forgiveness and Torch of Christ Ministries
Gathered with microphones and cameras to spread what they say is a message of love. Our only motive
is that people would know that God loves them that they would come to know that Jesus is a God of love
But many in the village say that wasn't the message they heard
Claiming the group came here to bring tension to the community. It's 2019 like come on people
I'm all about respecting diversity if you want to believe in God whatever faith it is Christian Muslim Jewish, whatever
That's okay. You don't need to force that on people
Emotions were high leaving some in tears crowd spilling out to the streets when an officer driving by took notice
Prompting about a dozen cops to respond
One street preacher was arrested for causing a disturbance after officers say he did not comply with police
The difficulty becomes when that expression on
loudspeaker and using screaming and insulting language
results in
people responding in a negative way and unfortunately at that point as you can probably see
The safety of everybody can be put at risk. We believe that it's worth of persecution against us
We believe it's worth the arrest. All right, the truth is always going to be a very difficult
Complex subject. This isn't the first time that this group has been out here a similar incident occurred about a month ago
Also leading to an arrest now many
I spoke with here. Tell me that they're
Disappointed that this happened during a Pride Month a time where it was to be a celebration of inclusion you guys ready?
We're gonna pray
Would you like to join us in prayer?
No
Father in the mighty name of Jesus price we give you. Thanks and praise. Yes hallelu for your goodness and your love and your mercy
In the land of the living we thank you Lord God that you sent your one and only Son Jesus Christ to die
for the entire world so that the world would be saved that includes people of the
LGBTQI
Community for God that includes every heterosexual
Every person on this planet has an opportunity
To find your love and your grace
Because you said for God so loved the world that He gave His one and only Son that whoever
Would believe in him should not marry. I
Pray right. Now the mighty name of Jesus for God that your glory would shine upon this
Community what God and you would reach out to each broken heart to each person and let them know that there's hope for their lives
Let them know God that there's grace available or not. Just like with each one of us O Lord God Father Lord
We know that grace is a gift o Lord God, but in order to receive a gift we need to receive it
We need to open our hearts to it Lord God
So I pray Lord God that you would touch hearts open their hearts to your love to your grace
Because Lord God your grace can transform your grace can heal any
personal Lord God it doesn't matter who we are where we've been you're a merciful and forgiving God and your forgiveness is
available to the asking Lord
You died while we were yet sinners
Christ died for us and we are all sinners fallen short of the glory of God
And you said the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life through Christ, Jesus our Lord
Thank you Lord for Canada Lord. God for freedoms Lord God that all people can have their freedoms
express their rights
Upheld Oh God. We thank you more god that father Lord God in this
Everyone has dignity and everybody has this thing whether they're LGBTQ Christian whether they're Muslim or Buddhist father
They're all entitled to express their beliefs and opinions
logon and practice what they want Lord God
We thank you Lord God for the freedoms that we have in this
Country or God and we ask you Lord Gaza in these freedoms people with shoes
What is your way Lord God your way of love your way
Your way of forgiveness. This is our
Angels
The kingdom of darkness
Those who trespass against us and lead us not into temptation but deliver
Again our Father
They are gave us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us
And forgive us our trespasses those who trespass against us
Thank you for freedom in the spirit Lord, we thank you for victory in Jesus name
Appraisal bonuses move away from Chris
Is aloha praise the lord god is good god
Is really good
Well, we're here to offer free information about Jesus to all who would like free information
You don't want you telling me to get out. You don't want to talk to me have your backs face towards me
as a Christian
So that people can hear the message
Do you tolerate me I accept you as I am okay, so you tell me
You tolerate me as a Christian as long as you tolerate me as a gay man. I tolerate you. That's why I'm living in Toronto
What do you I accept you really
But why do you need a microphone so that people can hear the good news of Jesus Christ
right I can talk to you in a bottle more than
once disturbing the peace
So I
Asked a few people and we have one person not many people. You said you can tolerate me to tolerate me Felix. We won't tolerate
Microphone disturbing. Okay. Okay, so I'm not here disturbing
Okay, I'm gonna tell you that I tolerate you and I accept you, okay
Okay
Okay
We're here to tell you that God loves you love is love love is love love is love God is love I
Need to get up you don't
You don't accept me do you you don't accept me?
Why would I have to get out of Toronto?
I don't have to
And that's what we preach as Christians that everybody
About what's going on today?
You want this so except everyone is entitled to respect and dignity
Everyone the LGBT community
That should be publicized
The Christian community deserves respect as well, and we're here to tell you today
And his likeness
To himself
That He gave His one and only Son that whoever believes in Him should not perish
If
You protect yourself from what
To every person on this corner
I said nothing wrong except dad loves you
Every homosexual person everyone is sexual as sin and
Sin is when we violate the laws of God and we go contrary to the things of faith. That's what sin is
It's the laws of God and when we go against the laws of God
we find ourselves in tolerant bigots like the people around me, but
claim saying love
Now if love is love will your lungs accept me?
This is the question that I have for everybody. Will your love?
Accept me. How deep is your love today?
How deep is your love?
And you believe everyone is entitled to dignity
Then my question for you today is will it accept Christians and this is the message?
But I want to ask or rather the question that I have for you. My message is this
You're actually blocking me from walking. You know, I'm not coming in your face blocking you from walking
I'm allowed to walk freely in Canada, Toronto
Please now now you're assaulting me
I'm trying to rappin and trying to work
So I'm demonstrating and proving to you that what sorry
Here at tolerant
There's a lot of bigots here right now. Please don't touch me. I'm trying to walk
I'm trying to walk and I'm trying to communicate and exercise my free speech now you're trying to trip me that's assault
Violent that's not please look at these signs love is low. This is not love love wins. I wish
Anyway back to my message sin is when we violate the words of God
When we go contrary to what God's Word is if you don't agree with something
Apply to Yonge and Dundas the name of this lizard sir. You're standing in front of me for some reason
Jesus Jesus
Is
to the fins of God
that's what sin is and
This is an example of sin
intolerance
hatred
Violence these are the things that we again
Violence
We speak against any form of sin that's contrary
And
Respect it should be given, you know in a civil society
What happens is that when you don't agree with somebody you don't assault them?
You don't kill them. Now if you're living in Saudi Arabia if you were a homosexual
You would be put to death in Saudi Arabia
If you were living in Pakistan or Iran, you'll be put to death. They would physically assault you like I'm being assaulted
By these people here. I don't know who these people are. I don't know if they're gay
I don't know if they're heterosexual. I have no clue who they are. So
I hate for people. I don't know who you are
Now if you claim to have a certain lifestyle that's up to you, but I'm here to tell you today
I am NOT assaulting you I
am not showing violence towards you I
Am NOT saying anything hateful towards you because this is on live stream
So all you need to do is check the facts. The facts are
Look on live stream and you will see the truth
Love is love and we ought to love and God
So loved the world that He gave His one and only Son and it's for everybody
every person here is worthy of an of hope every person here is worthy of
It's unforgiveness. Every person here is worthy
of a reconciled relationship with God because God loves you God cares for you and
He loves you so much
he
Would
Jesus the wages of sin is death negativity
If you don't
Nobody can force
This is seems to be the only community where assault is legislated
Okay
So my Jesus Christ live for you
Pretty
I think they like filming at all. We're just walking by
You're not even telling the truth sir, we've been telling the truth this week the truth
You can see live stream on under - what have I said this wrong if we we we stood out here
Yeah and began to talk about how much we love you and God loves you
Yeah, I'll look you ganged up on us and began to try to push us off the street
We weren't there with a microphone
It's on video
To free I have the right to freeze
Up with this in court already. So and we do this
You have to
Hear
The microphone
Five
You do not have the right to broadcast and cause a disturbance that no one can disturb
You are a gentle word about this
Well, you may be going again because if you don't turn this off, I want an issue with the broad line
On what grounds for cause no one's causing it as you are because
Okay, so how about this I'm gonna turn this off not because I have to but I'm gonna do it for you
Thank you, but I'm still gonna be here and exercise my for now. I want to ask you something
Are you gonna arrest these people that assaulted me when I told you because the person the person actually just ran away
We're gonna take it right now, so I want you to walk over here. I'm not gonna walk there
I'm gonna do it right here. Okay, that's my right
Yes, you can I just took none to aim well then then you're not taking my assault seriously
I am taking you so I don't want to do it in a private place. I want to do it right here
So this way I'm not doing that
well, I'm not I'm gonna continue to preach if I'm not under arrest and I'm gonna exercise my
Arrest me for preaching Jesus Christ. I
No one's using application I applied with you so no no they are cause
I'm causing it to happen by exercising freedom of speech
So think of the logic I'm Fozzie, I'm causing a disturbance by exercising freedom of speech in Toronto, Canada
I have the right to practice my face and exercise my freedom
in Canada without being marginalized
Criticized and bullied by the Toronto police or anybody else? I'm not what they're doing
You should be defending my rights has a free country a Canadian citizen
to demonstrate what I believe you should be defending me and be impartial as a police officer and if you're gonna practice
The law and please be impartial
protect me as I exercise my freedom of speech that is your duty the moment you start to take away my right to
Become up - to exercise my freedom of speech you are breaking the law and I will take you to court officer dick
Okay, so I'm gonna exercise my freedom. Please protect me. You don't want to protect
Are coming against my religion and my freedom that's what's happening and what you should do as a police officer is
Take what I just said people have been assaulting me and and becoming bigots and hate speech against my religion
And so if you're willing to look at the evidence, this is all on live stream right now City TV news is right here
So I want to exercise my freedom
How's that right people I don't even need a microphone there's enough people here that are hearing everything
I'm going to share the gospel and I expect you to be impartial in their duties by protecting me. I
Changed this location as a product of Toronto. Does this have a special law in church and Wellesley? No
No, but you've chosen this I don't want to continue this the conversation anymore officer. I'm gonna breach over here and exercise
Hey
Why should I have to leave
We have really not even said anything what God loves you and it's just really
Yeah, it's really gotten instant. So God cares about just stick with us pray for us. They're saying
There's no condemnation to them
We're not welcome here
Yours or anyone's who lives here match the fire anyone who has the native people that live here
Jesus at no point went into people's home our home
And so on now more than ever the world is changing and this is
My love
Protector so with this camera. What are you actually what's your name? Uh, no, no
You already have the same rights that Christians have well, let me tell you what
Are you serious and you're gonna tell
People in the world this is the way to do
Love we love
To show you
Sit against the law to show your faith in Canada, that's what we want to go below
The bias of society, this is the vibe hey, brother
All right
Obviously, we're in the pride we want to reach the game we want to also reach
Well, I mean that's like saying like why should you what if I told you to go right now and then and then as a
Defense or as a question everyone was surrounding it and intimidating and trending and I said why stay if I'm on a jitter girl
And I think your response should be I have the right. I have just as much right to steer as you did, right?
So I don't think that's really a fair question and I think that it has
Has basically an agenda to say you should have beating right
I think it's pure Adrian. I think that I see signs that say love is love I see with your that time right there
Find a new religion and I said to the man very respectfully I said sir
I agree with your sign with all due respect
You should examine your own ideals because as a Christian standing here
I do feel like they like I don't feel like they should yeah, I don't hate this
there's a man I was speaking to I think you interviewed him in East I
Asked him I said am I welcome here is a Christian law and he said yes
with condition he said but I don't well, I'm not I don't tolerate you spewing your
your garbage
Harry I'm paraphrasing but he basically said that I'm not welcome here to preach Christianity
The doctors came as well
Things like that. Well, nobody first of all, nobody pushed anybody back we exist
basically, we basically stood for rights and and we were staring in the face of
religious discrimination
Then we were just making a statement in case we have equal rights to practice what we believe as much as the gay community has
The correct I as a Christian don't have any agenda any motive to silence to make homosexuals illegal to say
Hey, you're not welcome here
If you do get out of here, I think that if if I did that to someone they whatever right to say
I'm full of hate because I'm basically saying I'm sorry okay to do that twice as a gay guy
The church was allowed to pick me out as a gay guy
So you're telling me that if we do that to you, it's not
Okay, but it's okay for you to do that to LGBTQ people. A lot of people come here from countries that are constantly constantly
Surprised my religion and you are here and posing it. This is not love
This is not how Jesus did it at all can I answer that?
So you're gonna respond by doing the same thing back that's accomplished. If you really don't agree with that type of
Behavior. Why? No what we did here is say this is not you know
Come in our home and impose something specially somewhere as inclusive as a village where we have Jews
We have Muslims and needle pitches today. You don't even put that into consideration. But you know, so I'm Christian
I'm Coptic Orthodox Christian, but you look I don't know that sorry
But you left I noticed you in left because you came here already showing that
Because actions speak louder than we are not preaching right the first centuries there. I agree actions speak louder than words
I usually have my car. We have to pick up the pieces that you guys leave the LGBTQ people behind end feeling unwelcome
This is our home. We created this space all together. So we don't have to deal with this. Let us be
Okay, this is not letting us be. Okay. Thank you. You are allowed to be and everyone's allowed to know
What good condition it's condition
To point, what's my point? Whoa are any of you queer part of our church?
It's unconditional love respond. This is no
But your preaching is completely conditional what's it one way one huge misunderstanding is that it's just about the LGBT community
We all fall short of the glory of God people who might
Shit and I'm calling you out on that boy. Everyone here is calling I just right through you. This is not how it's done
Okay, can we get some attention man? That's all you want. You're gonna but what's your point now is your moment?
What do you have to say? This is?
You
No, I haven't yet but
Dude by Pastor David Linda was arrested as a personal friend of mine and him and I actually organized this to come on here today
Is it possible for me to?
voice
Here today for the sole reason of
showing the love of God and shining the light of fries that it is the will of God that
All might have eternal life
When we began to speak
The decisions that we made this is
Well, yes many times what history the truth was uncomfortable, but I believe that we as a free society are mature enough to take
Intellectual and complex ideas, even when it makes us uncomfortable and disgusting really because we do live in a free society
, where Christians have just as much right to speak as the gay community does. I feel that because,
they feel a certain type of way towards Christians, right
There are people who are coming in the name of Christ and speaking hatred. We don't speak for them.
But the gay community has experienced that and now they have a lot of anger towards us and so they're trying to silence our voice without allowing us to show the love of God.
Sure torch of Christ Ministries, I'm the director of the organization
All right, so great message I do believe that they were they were open to hearing what we had to say unfortunately Davidson
Hey, I don't know where he's at right now. Hopefully he's only being detained and not arrested
He didn't do anything illegal, but anytime that there's a big disturbance like this, even though they were the ones who caused the disturbance
You'll see that the police will have to to uh to react in some way
Unfortunately, I don't believe that justice has been served today
we've been in well within our rights to speak freely our ideas in our Christian faith and
And we see that there's discrimination
against Christians
Absolutely. We are discriminate you have completely been discriminated against
In this society
You're gonna confine me in life through the walls of a building what if I told you you had to key in the building
We are in no way physically or emotionally
Are you aware did you hear?
Okay, okay our briefs
That if anyone in any way Esparza physical harm assaulted you in any way it's completely unacceptable
and I love you when I care about you as a person I
Do not believe in people like you coming here when we asked you thank you not to come into our space
when we change the Gospel message it makes you
And I don't know what you're doing here, okay, the Christian should never spit on anyone that's completely unacceptable
Ah'd of really bad people out there sophist Christ, so yeah, we don't speak for so you think it's right to do this
Here we haven't done any
Man that we haven't done is also select
That's what is the you want to use them and I want to hear the message
Absolutely, man
Let's go for God shall love the world that He sent His only begotten Son to die for you want to cross? All right
He willingly lay down his life
Not just for you, but for me and for all of the world
He lay down his life so that through the shedding of his blood you might find internal life with God
I believe one second. Hold on. Yes, I believe
Okay, that one day your but can I speak freely or Emma?
That's right
That's right even give me 15 seconds
You had a lot more than 15 dues believe in thousands of God's you don't even know which God you believe in man?
So you
Said he doesn't know which he believes do you believe in?
I'm a soul in a human
That's all Who I am. I am consciousness. I am pastor my I'm yes I am
I believe in my religion
With
Respect I respect your free right to do that. Yeah
Hindu and using Jesus is the only God that makes me feel unsafe here
That makes me feel unsafe when you say Jesus is the only God I was raised in the Catholic school
I've I studied all Bible. I went to Catholic schools Ivers
I
have understood
And I
Love according to the Bible. Yes
Do I have a right as a Christian to exercise my free right to be a Christian and to exercise my religion in Canada?
You don't have a right to come into our neighborhoods and breach your hate this is okay
Because if you're telling me that I can't be if you're telling me that your God is only the only God then you need to
Get out. Okay. Do you believe in God sir? Yes. I do and the churches that you
Feel like I was less than that's right. No, I've had enough of your fake
Could you be a response?
Should you don't care what religion you are I will help you because you are a human
How about you help us to de-stress and just leave because we don't want you here
Took us a while the cops were here. We were all here
Relationship I
Will join your church, and I want to be
What the fuck are you doing here under those same same conditions then you can like what that
The church is a body of believers
I
Don't know
The police don't want to hear us literally said I don't have a voice. That's not right
So I think the police need to be called on the police
a
Lot of people push
Okay, everybody that I tried to care about into closer
pushing away and I have this rejection mania and you know
How rejection is when you feel like and I feel that rejects the church
they've rejected you right when people
rejected me because I wasn't a good person because I was angry and I treated feet before because I was a
Deep down I was burning so people didn't want to have anything on me because I decide
All right
And because because I have that rejection I push people away and I close a lot of forms
When I turn to God you're gonna show me that you can create
Right and you can begin to kill the humans of my stroll
I need you're gonna teach me that in order trust to love in a healthy way we have to do a seed
We change things to create our own form of love, but there is a pure form of right and love teaches
Is a waste of mine on one. Okay. It's not what it's designed for society sees you have a complaint against police officers
There's a process in place for that. I know I'm basically inquiring. How do I do this?
You can go to any police station or on the website for the OIG. Oh, you can look it up a white PRD
Okay, and there's a whole there's a whole bunch of steps that can give you the man out to take
names now
Okay, well there right now calling 9-1-1
Call Ella please is always designed for understand. That's why that's why I didn't want to do both so I said I don't want to
I just want an investigation done on this you can lodge a complaint later on
Go to our website and go to any police station get the paperwork illogical went over as a Christian. Just so you know
I respect your authority. I'm nothing against
Maybe want to kill myself. This is
The only way
Bullshit, okay, that's reality
My husband I
Know
It gives me anxiety I
Just want you to know. All right, we're kicking or we're not picking on the LGBTQIA
This is what you're doing and what you're doing talking about what you're doing, but what you're doing is you're talking as it
Could you said you go to church right?
To read your ball I do. Okay. Do you feel like it gives you life and please enjoy
enjoy
people that accept me for who I am people won't allow me here is
He said you know what? So that's your piece. You know, how about you? Let us have our piece?
Okay, we've fought long and hard we fought long and apart again
Okay, initially this happened because of the police because they raided our bath houses because they keep the start of people's we exist
Okay, provoking on believes over just don't you hear not killing listen
Work with every person we're here. I was showing this in this I know but you guys have been talking for a while
So I just have a simple
If I if what gives me relief is taking your shit. I'm pretty sure it did those for you. I'll speak for myself
I'm not gonna be so arrogant for you. Should I take a shit right here because it gives me relief
Where is the responsibility?
With my relief, that's right
So don't think that when you're doing it you can just do it anywhere anytime
To the librarian first stream thinking that I have the right to be loud. No, maybe not you're just trying to be rude man
No, but you understand what I'm trying to say to you. It's a time and a place
When is there a time to play stupid I like this?
What is it a good time in a good place
I can
Long here, but I need to do I must do I need to go to the staff?
Exercise, I'm gonna answer your question
If you want the answer you said where I have that I'm the right to long hair if I'm gonna cook a meal
Do I have the right to dip it in the fucking stew like this to say I have the right to my long hair?
No, I don't you want to dip your hair and stupid. I'm
Trying to tell you that every rights
Speech my hair being long
Pants that I want to wear. It did first. It comes with a responsibility
based on the
Responsibility that's your opinion. That's not a response, right?
But but our responsibilities tell the truth. Okay, right. So ok
Let me ask you this
if college students are brought into a university if the college students are brought into a university and the administration comes before the
University and and and goes over a certain set of principles. That's right
The college students are invited a hearing the those policies does it still doesn't take away their?
responsibility in my opinion in my opinion
Because we're in the school for education and science were not in a church
Right, so let's come over here if you don't mind
Police officer. Yes
He's paid how to tax. Yes
Yes. Yes. That means I could I argued I'm a shareholder of his pains. Yes
Aren't we shareholders repay pack? Yes
Like that, we are taxes the taxes
In one way you could argue he's the boss of me in order to reinforce the law that's what he's paid for
he's also to pretend we are the bosses of them in the sense that that we paid them in the
Experiment protect us sure does that mean I can touch his penis? No
That's a soul but I have the right to touch someone's penis Donna under what condition
That's right, so Freedoms come with different
Responsibilities right? So let me give you an example
Do you think it's acceptable for you to do this? Yes, I should take a dump here. Yeah kid. No
No, you know whatever you and I should join your church with a bikini so I could do whatever I want to can I speak?
Okay, we came out here and stood on the sidewalk
We didn't even get to speak our ideas or the message that we're dealing with
because no but your relationship with us was without consent your
Interaction in your response to us was without hope no, yes it was
consensual relationship
And you mobbed up against all answer you surrounded us all I began to assault. Oh, what's the answer?
We only see Christians being arrested today
We don't agree and yet we're the ones in handcuffs, okay. Okay, this shows you there is a bias in the law
Well, okay, that's true
I am there protecting you, you know, I'm gonna buy its way Len want let me finish what I'm today
okay, but we still we have the cameras here to protect us you say why are you using a camera I never said
Because the truth is have cameras. I never have about the camera
The police would arrest us because the model say you're lying and we would not be harassed
You know what happened earlier someone threw coffee on me and if that means two nothing
Does that mean no sir? No, no, thank you. It wasn't even in this community. It wasn't even enhancing
Marginalized, you know, I shouldn't remember what you our rights are being removed
You keep talking over the question that you have because you don't ever stop to let me speak
I stopped that root your point
But you always want to go on and on and on you said that your right is being violated because you came here and spoke
Yes
Yes
you entered into a non-consensual relationship when we enter by not allowing me to exercise my
Right this I understood I heard you the first time I'm gonna tell you what I think sure you came here
You spoke we didn't get to speak. We never got to speak, but I think you spoke
We had people following us around its saltiness. I'm speaking now. I'm speaking more you mutants. What is this?
This is not allowed to speak on this. Okay? Okay, whatever. I think you spoke. Your cameras will show that you have spoken
In my conclusion you've spoken based on this factual evidence
You've made the claim saying that the people that have come here have surrounded you
Yeah, we're here. I heard you. I'm just repeating
They came around you and be pretty much did the same thing
They came to a public space like you did and you didn't like that. They came to the space
I see a difference between them and you do you know what I see or no?
Yes, they're socially it's socially acceptable for them to be here, but it's not socially acceptable for us as Christians to be here
That's what you're saying. No, I'm not. Yes. No, I'm not you're saying that it's anarchist what I'm saying? I'm here as a Christian
I don't have no social acceptability to be here. You're intolerant of Christians. Yes. That's the truth going on a very intolerant of Christian
That's you you're assuming again. I never said that
Voice no, I didn't think not you a fake Christian. That's different the thing I'm intolerant. Right, right
What if I called you a fake homosexual? Would that be?
So I thought well there would be
Right, but that is but you're but you're allowed to call me a fake Christian. How are you?
How do we not have equal rights?
Because I'm trying to answer you, but I don't know if you're done with your point because I heard your point
I recognize that's your opinion. I would like to tell you you admitted
There's a bias Everett Xu that don't we answer one point at a time
So about the first one so that we don't just ask questions for the camera. Absolutely that all right, right
I want your face - here - no. I have no problem with the police
I don't have a problem with 3 million gods of the Hindus including Jesus and Allah hearing
I'm very confident with my conviction what I'm about to say. Ok you I repeat you came here
You said you stood you wanted to spit. Yes, and you said you didn't see the difference?
You saw the difference being that I am intolerant of Christians. I say I disagree
I never put that on the camera why I called you a fake fish and I separate you from
Christians the difference that I see I will tell you now is you came here in an inappropriate place
To take this freedom and do your freedom. Nobody's saying you can't do your freedom
They're saying this is the wrong way to do your freedom. Just like it's the wrong way for me to grab his crime
Relation show is it that you get to choose what's appropriate was not appropriate when it comes
I never children's freely expressing their religion
Ok
We have a democratic
procedures using what's acceptable for me for my role the hell that I choose because you just said me coming here in practicing my
Christianity is unacceptable. I'm the dictator of Canada. I'm I
Know I never said that I made that law. I never made that law in Saint Laurent ok, Ontario
I never said that I made that law you would like to twist it to make it seem that because you don't have a voice
Speaking
Yes, I'm making those ideas, right?
And I will back up those ideas, but I never made those idea
Do you believe that Christians have free right to exercise their Christianity?
In this in this community right here 50 percent they have the right, but they don't have any rights
under your condition, so
You're saying that I made these conditions. That's what you said 54
I never said that you asked me for my opinion and then you're changing it into the what's the law?
What are you asking don't don't diddle daddle when it's comfortable for you. Let's be real. What should be the law in Toronto
I agree with the law not because they're standing here
if I didn't in this condition
I do agree with it because people like you and right now we're putting into my opinion
My opinion is you're OK for sure nonetheless
You still have the right your opinion, but you don't have the right to come and do this
Because I'm a Christian. So I I need to take a shit
Conditions change things
Yes, if I really need to go and I crouched somewhere and I took it the condition change because it's an emergency situation
exactly
There will be compassion potentially with the Palmer officer in my opinion shown to me
Because let's say all that and under that circumstance all the toilets were off
If I came out in chicken
We're gonna change the situation if I came out and I said I refuse to use the toilet
This is the place that I'm gonna do it. That is a completely different scenario than the first one. Would you agree or not?
You lost me like I know
You're talking about toilets and stuff. That's right. I mean I'm using it as an analogy commercial
So you Anna so you're an you're using an analogy that me
practicing my Christian faith way is the same as scooping in a toilet the way
Freedom we have a freedom to walk. Okay, cuz I like you spoke for water
Okay, I drew the law as well that we're all allowed to freely express ideas. Uh-huh. We're all allowed to exist. All right
We're all allowed to do those things. We with pre limits
We as Christians are not trying to take away any of that
What we're trying to do is freely expressing it louder than words anywhere that we want to close
Is this normal right though? Is this right?
Come against us this is the truth. No, let me sleep
Let me let me speak the truth is within five minutes of us speaking a mob formed against us
We were assaulted we were assaulted and yet we were the ones that got arrested, right?
we were
Visitors. Yes, go to the drastic break. You're gonna be disingenuous with me and tell me that this was prayer. This was a new rolling
We were in
Understand that's right. So I appreciate
Very much that wanted to say your thing. No, no
Yeah, but okay right now is for everybody to start moving on. Okay?
We all stood here and watched him speak his opinion
Why
Not true
Complete example you guys got a view what happened I stood there. I watched a man speak to me. I
Spoke given the grown assault and I listened to him in a loving manner
And as soon as I raised my voice I got attacked. This is not even about religion or desire
Hey, you know be nice. Okay, you got a fool view right now of what happened? No
Sanity is doing the same mistake over and over
Why don't you learn you come here to be a victim you get surprised?
We say please don't be here so you can put the bigoted turn on other people
Why don't you just listen leave get a different strategy for communication and come back instead?
You're just going through this cycle and life because you're a victim, right?
That's right, I'm hearing the poor Christian cannot speak. Yeah. Okay. Here's a question for you. Oh hi, I'm Adam
Are you are you imminently about to be attacked? So you have to be?
At least maybe can do a better job of putting your footage together
What's your job? I'm having a grown conversation with you. Can you listen to me?
Yeah, maybe that's what you should be doing instead of screaming at me I
Am listen, I just didn't have a chance to have a conversation because what allows okay
I'm gonna have a conversation with you right now, okay?
So here's my
You're
Safer here then but can I have before my say I don't have a conversation with you when you don't have to fucking I don't

I've turned it off and I put it in my pocket. All right, come on
If you want to see
One must be born again to be born again by the Holy Spirit you need to
Watch if this is so much suffering and if you see that person suffering
It's your job as a human being to help that person and if you all saw at the same time
And that means at the same time someone comes down there. Say the gay bisexual
Transgender and you love that person that their parents that part should not pass that trial of law. No, but
If you
Treat don't turn around to all these people and say all of us or evil. That's why we have a pride my brother

Divide and conquer because what you do is this you divide

Before you know it all of us who believe in a certain religion
We're gonna our religious beliefs and our freedoms to exercise that belief are going to be taken away
We did it for we didn't form a mob today. A mob was formed against us assault was demonstrated against us
We didn't see anybody that assaulted us get arrested. I'm speaking on behalf of Christianity in Canada
Okay, I'm speaking of it. I'm speaking on behalf of religious freedoms in the world
All right, we were assaulted
No one who has salted us was arrested
But the person that was speaking and freely
Exercising their Christian beliefs was handcuffed and we don't even know where he's at right now
Okay, we're not being protected as Christians in Toronto
All right, you're trying to shut us down and make us leave officer. A mob was formed against us
We're the ones that need protecting
We have just as much right
To freely exercise our religion as the LGBT community has to exercise their lifestyle
We are not trying to marginalize
LGBT lifestyle, we're trying to say that God loves you and he could give you life in Jesus Christ. That's it
