The Senate passed transgender Bill C-16 on June 15th with a vote of 67 in support and 11 opposed. The bill now only needs royal assent in the House of Commons before "gender identity" and "gender expression" officially become part of the Human Rights and Criminal Codes.
We know that many of you have been praying and contacting Members of Parliament and Senators regarding this bill. We sincerely thank you and want you to know that your prayers, phone calls and e-mails did make a difference.
Thanking Those who Stood for Righteousness
There are a few key players who have stood bravely against this bill since its introduction and who have faced significant backlash through e-mail and social media because of it. These include Senator Don Plett, who in many ways led the charge against the bill in the Senate, and UofT Professor Jordan Peterson.
We wanted to acknowledge, encourage, and thank Senator Don Plett and Professor Peterson, as well as the 10 other Senators who voted against the bill last week for the strong stand they took for the protection and free speech of Canadians. They are:
Senator Denise Batters - Denise.Batters@sen.parl.gc.ca
Senator Lynn Beyak - Lynn.Beyak@sen.parl.gc.ca
Senator Norman Doyle - Norman.Doyle@sen.parl.gc.ca
