Protesters who infiltrated the Pride Parade last summer to distribute anti-gay messages will not be able to hide behind their green zombie suits much longer.

Longtime anti-homosexual activist Bill Whatcott has been ordered to unmask the identities of his co-conspirator Gay Zombies, who have the ABCDEF pseudonyms of Adam Zombie, Brian Zombie, Christopher Zombie, Doug Zombie, Edward Zombie and Frank Zombie.

He’s also been told by Ontario Superior Court Justice Paul Perell to divulge his sources of funding.

Whatcott has already vowed to ignore the court order.

“Generally Christians should comply with secular courts, but not when complying harms the innocent or when the order is unjust in the eyes of God,” he wrote on the Free North America website.

Whatcott and his green bodysuited colleagues were disguised as the “Gay Zombies Cannabis Consumers Association” to surreptitiously gain access to march during Pride and distribute 3,000 leaflets packaged as a “Zombie Safe Sex Package.” The pamphlet message was actually a disgusting diatribe against the LGBTQ community — “disease, death and confusion are the sad and sordid realities of the homosexual lifestyle” — complete with photos of anal warts and allegations that Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and Premier Kathleen Wynne were supporting and involved in child sexual assault.

Last August, gay activist Christopher Hudspeth and former Liberal MPP George Smitherman launched a $104 million class action lawsuit against Whatcott and his fellow zombies, claiming their flyers promote hatred and were defamatory.

This isn’t the first time he’s faced these accusations. In 2014, Whatcott used the same ruse to infiltrate the Vancouver Pride Parade as the Calgary Church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster where he and his supporters handed out 2,500 anti-gay pamphlets disguised as free condoms. In 2013 the Supreme Court of Canada found his “Sodomites in our Public Schools” pamphlets that he’d distributed in Saskatoon were hate speech.

Whatcott denied the zombies’ message at Pride was hate speech and claimed the lawsuit was an attempt to “intimidate, chill and crush legitimate political freedom of expression.”

The judge accused both sides of filing documents that were “diatribes, ad hominies, polemics, and propaganda pieces far removed from proper pleadings and proper legal argument.” He especially lamented the “angry, bitter, vindictive” tone in Hudspeth and Smitherman’s statement of claim.

The judge found that they did have a cause of action, but not as a class-action. He advised them to refile with specific individuals who “opt in” to the claim and granted their request to have Whatcott compelled to reveal his fellow green-suited parade crashers and their financial backers.

Hudspeth, who owns Pegasus Bar in Toronto’s gay village, sees the decision as an important first step. Raised in a Pentecostal family, he found Whatcott’s vile pamphlets particularly upsetting.

“This was preached to me from the pulpit every Sunday that I was going to hell for being who I was,” he recalled.

Whatcott’s lawyer Charles Lugosi said they have until Tuesday to decide whether they will appeal. But the anti-gay activist, who says he’s already spent $250,000 in legal fees, has begun appealing to his supporters to fund a court challenge.

“I don’t actually want to be put in jail indefinitely for contempt,” he wrote, “or to have to spend the rest of my life making it as difficult as possible to prevent these hate-filled homosexuals from taking my property or somehow getting access to who my friends and supporters are and then going after their homes and life savings.”

If he refuses to unmask his fellow zombies, Whatcott faces being found in contempt of court and jailed.

“Do I want that to happen? No, that would be awfully ridiculous on his part,” said Hudspeth. “It would be better for him to be open and honest.

“Those are the teachings of Christ. And to be loving — which is something he hasn’t shown so far.”
