The human rights set-up

One of the most preposterous cases in the field of so-called human rights law in recent years has quietly evaporated into the ether, leaving a relieved but nevertheless injured victim.

The victim is John Fulton, owner of the Downtown Health Club for Women in St. Catharines, Ont. In 2006, an individual dressed as a woman visited the club and applied for membership. The person then told Fulton, “I’m really a guy” — a man planning to have a sex-change operation.

With only one change room and shower room in the club, admitting this individual would have meant allowing a man to observe the other patrons — all female — in various stages of undress. As well, the women could have been subjected to seeing a naked man in their dressing room. Unable to figure out how he could distinguish the applicant from a voyeur or an exhibitionist, Fulton hesitated to grant him membership. Within a week, two more “transitioning” men tried to join the women’s gym, even though there’s a co-ed gym right next door. The whole scenario screamed “set-up!”

But before he could even obtain legal advice, Fulton had been slapped with a so-called human rights complaint.

These odious state organs have no place in a free and open country.  They are political weapons used exclusively against Judeo-Christian values.
