Canadian Prof Faces Human Rights Complaint Over Religious Views on Homosexuality
By Terry VanderheydenSYDNEY, Nova Scotia, May 31, 2006 (LifeSiteNews.com) - A Cape Breton University (CBU) professor is the target of a human rights complaint by a homosexual student. Comments posted by the professor at his private web site critical of the Anglican Church of Canada for its permissive and condoning stand in relation to same-sex "marriage" are the cause of the complaint.
History Professor David Mullan wrote to his local Anglican bishop in 2004, criticizing the trend: "When Anglicanism in some manner recognizes homosexuality as a legitimate 'lifestyle' for Christians, it will become a church in schism," he charged.
On February 20, homosexual CBU student Shane Wallis, who also co-ordinates the campus' Sexual Diversity Office, lodged a formal human rights complaint with the University. In an e-mail response to Wallis' charge of a human rights offence, Wallis stated in his complaint that Mullan responded that "homosexuality is a repudiation of nature and the apotheosis of unbridled desire."
From Professor Mullan's web site it can be seen that, because the University has acknowledged that the proceedings of a CBU human rights tribunal may be used against him in a court of law, he has declined to participate in complaint hearings. He has, however, challenged both Wallis and the University to acknowledge his free speech rights as a Canadian.
"I have a Human Rights complaint against me, as a result of two letters to my former Anglican bishop placed on my private website and a reply I sent Shane Wallis in response to an unsolicited email," Professor Mullan explains on his web site.
"I met yesterday morning (in April) with the Human Rights Officer. At that time I asked her whether anything I said in the process might be used against me in court. Today, after legal consultation, she replied that yes, it could be. I immediately told her that I would not participate in the process. I told her also in our meeting that I find that the requirement that I give evidence, effectively incriminating myself (rather like the Tudor Court of Star Chamber and the ex officio oath) when asked for it is in my judgement a violation of the common law, and of my rights as a free-born Englishman. The procedure is a farce, and if pushed I will sue the institution for violating my civil rights."
"The process can never be fair until these conditions are altered, and until the complainant stands under potential judgement for entering a frivolous complaint," he adds. "No one in his right mind would participate in this without incurring the fees of a solicitor, and when found innocent, someone needs to re-imburse the defendant."
Professor Mullan goes on to quote the Canadian Charter of Rights on free speech. Stay tuned for developments.

Dear Friends: Following are the latest email exchanges on this breaking story. Another example of how homosexual activists are trying to foist their agenda upon us through the friendly liberal courts.

To: 'Robert A. Jason'Hello,
I just thought I�d let you know I had emailed Dr. Mullen and called the University to confirm the story I had received.
As it turns out, Dr. Mullen�s Peace Bond today had nothing to do with the homosexual community.
Dr. Mullen�s website is www.sleepyoldbear.com
When I asked him to comment on going to court for hate literature, he wrote the following:
Hello, Bill. Yes, it is true that I was in court (very low level and low key this morning) but the case is not about my adventure into the Homosex surreal. But, yep, the Homosex gang is crying foul, and 'how dare he speak the thought which dare not give its approval'. So far that one is all in-house.
This is about a foolish woman, faculty member, who is going after me for a peace bond for something I put on my website about a departmental death watch. Like I intend to lay a beating on her. Well, if I am to lay a beating on some people, she had better take a number; there is a long list of folk ahead of her. Where to start? Maybe Mugabe, George Galloway, ... but I already have too much stuff on my agenda this spring and summer. I just don't have the time to sort the higher-level loonies out right now. Maybe in my retirement.
May I invite you to visit my web site and my new blog, as below? They will give some indication of what and who I am. I am not a hater, I am not a member of the local flat-earth society. I am an active ecclesiastical historian, mainly Scottish and a bit of French, with numerous publications and on-going projects. Forgive the self-indulgence; merely a bit of context.
I applaud you for making haste slowly, and I thank you for your interest.
I hope your day is as lovely in Kentville as ours is in Sydney.
Sincerely
David.I hope this helps clarify things. God bless you as you speak the truth in love, - Bill
