Spencer told theVancouver Sun
that homosexuality is part of a "well orchestrated" conspiracy that should be outlawed, a Canadian Alliance MP says
--Who let this tool speak, anyway?

*Snerk*
"We can't even agree on a definition of 'homosexuality' to well-orchestrate *anything*, much less than a full-scale national conspiracy".
--E. Howe, Lesbian Activist and International Lesbian Educator.

I'm sure quite a few people in Saskatchewan must be happy that their MP made the news.
Now we can know once and for all that they elected an idiot.

*sigh*

You'll have to forgive Canada for the Alliance. It's one of those things we have instead of the Republican Party--a place for the right wing to sit around and make fool statements.

Not that he isn't allowed to have an opinion--of course he is, unless we choose to prosecute him for fomenting hate...

Oh, there's a lovely idea. Bring him up on charges based on the hate crimes laws... Since the Charter of Rights forbids discrimination based on sexual preference... heh.

It was lovely listening to Jack Layton (leader of federal New Democratic Party, where we let the left sit and make fool statements that will be adopted by the other parties within twenty years) talk about wanting to legalize (not decriminalize) marijuana this morning. Gives the Alliance hives.

The other group you can expect to hear foolish things from are certain religions. I'll never understand how a group as fundamentally tolerant as the Dutch spawned the First Christian Reformed Church--but then I remember it consists of people who left the Netherlands.

I've always felt the same way about feminist complaints that there was a male conspiracy. I can't imagine the meetings of the conspiracy, because there'd always be some dork in the back insisting on Robert's Rules, and another on approving the minutes and a group in the corner trying to light farts or some such. By the time they finally got through the minutes it would be time to sneak back from the meeting.

Really, any sufficiently large collection of ignorant people can give the appearance of organization and conspiracy. They do quite enough damage on their own.
