Toronto Bar Owner And Former Deputy Premier Sue Notorious Bigot For $104 Million After He Infiltrated Gay Pride And Handed Out Fake Condoms


This Bill Whatcott (Bile Wrangler) has been a thorn in the Canadian Psyche for years. Watch below the segment on him from the Daily Show. 

Story out of Toronto, Ontario:

The owner of a bar in the city’s gay village and former Deputy Premier George Smitherman have launched a class action lawsuit against a group of anti-gay activists who distributed hateful literature during Toronto’s annual pride parade earlier this summer.

Cambridge LLP has filed the class action lawsuit on behalf of Christopher Hudspeth and George Smitherman.

The lawsuit seeks $104 million in damages from William Whatcott and those who supported him in sneaking into the pride parade and handing out anti-gay literature that it alleges amounted to “hate speech.”

“As a long time gay activist I am outraged that a notorious homophobe infiltrated our pride parade in order to spread his lies and distribute his pamphlets,” Hudspeth, who owns Pegasus on Church, told reporters at a news conference in Ottawa. “Pride needs to be a safe place for everyone. We put up with enough homophobic messaging every day. We deserve a homophobic free zone at our pride parade.”

Whatcott has said that he used an alias to register the Gay Zombies Cannabis Consumer’s Association as a participating group at pride.

Whatcott and a group of unknown associates then dressed in green bodysuits and handed out anti-gay literature disguised as condoms along the parade route.

Hudspeth said that Whatcott has pulled similar stunts at two previous pride parades. Cont.
