I look forward to Professor Koshan's analysis. Here’s a link to Justice Wilson’s decision of December 3, 2009: http://is.gd/5cmOL

In other words, at least one witness made a direct connection between Boisson's declaration of a war on homosexuals, and a violent act of what can only be called "gay bashing". If that's not hate speech, I don't know what is.
