I checked out John's post about Toronto's Gay Pride, its biggest ever. And I couldn't help laughing over the kicker about the political bigot Conservative Leader Stephen Harper and where he spent Gay Pride. While the mayor and the police chief and other major figures in Toronto showed their support and respect for ALL of Canada's citizens, where was Harper? According to CBC News,
He was in suburban Toronto, where he spoke out against same-sex marriage while addressing a Muslim religious convention.Yes, amusing, though Muslims who want to be part of a free and pluralistic society should learn that this means respecting the rights and dignities of everyone, not just people you agree with.
