Canada: Social conservatives attack government over pro-gay stance on Russia

Social conservatives have launched an attack on Stephen Harper’s Conservative Government after Canadian Foreign Affairs Minister, John Baird strongly condemned the treatment of gay people in Russia.

The Minister has in recent weeks attacked the Russian Government for anti-gay legislation that the country has passed and said he “hope that decency would prevail” and that “while Canadian athletes would only be there for a few weeks the people of Russia would have to deal with the laws 365 days a year.”

Mr Baird has been extremely critical of the Russian Government and has called on the IOC to get more than a verbal commitment that gay athletes and citizens would be safe in Russia.

His comments have been picked up on by social conservatives groups in Canada including Real Women of Canada who’s President,Gwendolyn Landolt, who said “it is not a Canadian value that homosexuals should usurp religious rights and traditional values.”

1. The Real Women group has been hiding under a rock since the sixties.

Gay people are equal under the constitution, we have marriage equality, and that has been true since 2005. This is a Canadian value, and she needs to get her head out of her butt.

2. Landolt sounds like the Canadian version of Phyllis Shlafly

Still clinging to the fantasy that they're still relevant.

4. Millions of kids, in church, heard constantly about how bad the communists were.

At least when I was a kid.

Nowadays, the "christians" applaud the communist nations, mainly China, which have absorbed so many jobs from the USA, even though many/most of the workers are enslaved.

Today they applaud the Russians, who were portrayed to us as certain antichrists, evil people, dogs, wolves, demons, satanists, the ol' debbil hisself, cuz they hate queers just as much as Christers do.

What a difference access to money & power makes.
