6/27/2005 12:50:00 AMI checked out John's post about Toronto's Gay Pride, its biggestever. And I couldn't help laughing over the kicker about thepolitical bigot Conservative Leader Stephen Harper and wherehe spent Gay Pride. While the mayor and the police chief andother major figures in Toronto showed their support andrespect for ALL of Canada's citizens, where was Harper?According to CBC News,He was in suburban Toronto, where he spoke out againstsame-sex marriage while addressing a Muslimreligious convention.Yes, amusing, though Muslims who want to be part of a free andpluralistic society should learn that this means respecting the rightsand dignities of everyone, not just people you agree with.
