In the video below, Peter LaBarbera of Americans for Truth About Homosexuality gives an update on his court case in which he was indicted for taking a pro-family stand in Canada.

On April 10, 2014, LaBarbera was denied entrance into Canada for suspicion that his planned speech at a Canadian Pro-Life Conference would violate the nation’s “hate speech” laws. After gaining access, he later was arrested for passing out pro-life literature on a public university’s campus.
