Canada relents after initially detaining anti-gay Peter LaBarbera at the border

A controversial U.S. speaker who heads a group that advocates against what it calls "the radical homosexual agenda" and was stopped by customs officials at the Regina airport will get to speak at an anti-abortion conference in Weyburn, Sask., after all.
Peter LaBarbera, president of the group Americans For Truth About Homosexuality, said officials detained him because he planned to give a speech critical of "homosexual activism" and for a while it looked like he would be sent home on a plane.
... LaBarbera, whose group professes on its website to stand for "God-ordained sexuality," said he had a second meeting with officials and successfully argued to be allowed to stay.
... LaBarbera's planned visit sparked an outcry around Saskatchewan earlier this month. Some say his anti-gay views constitute hate speech. A protest had been planned in Weyburn for today, also organized by Intolerance-Free Weyburn.
