Ted Morton, a social conservative backbencher who garnered widespread grassroots support in his own leadership campaign, was appointed minister of sustainable resource development, which includes forestry, fires, and fish and wildlife.
Morton ran on a platform of challenging equalization payments to Ottawa, privatizing more of the public health system and legislating the right for people to speak out against gay marriage without fear of punishment.
Gay rights groups say such a bill would institutionalize discrimination.
Morton has failed twice from the backbenches to a pass private member's bill on it, but indicated now that he's on the front bench, the fight is back on.
"I think that issue will come back," he said.
Yep I can see our very own California Beach Boy Republican Right Winger trying to bring in legislation to ban wildlife from engaging in homosexuality.
Homosexuality is quite common in the animal kingdom, especially among herding animals. Many animals solve conflicts by practicing same gender sex

It sounds like a great idea, as long as we can give the fudge packers a more suitable "punishment" than tossing the salad at taxpayer expense in prison.
ReplyDeleteSure we can subject them to you talking with your mouth full
ReplyDeleteSo the protection of free speech equates to outlawing the subject of which the free speech is critical? Is this what you call thought?
ReplyDeleteProsecuting anyone for homosexuality is absolutely stupid - as stupid as suggesting someone supports that position because they believe in protecting freedom of speech.
I note you didn't pick up my challenge of finding where FreeAlberta.com supported Morton's campaign, you thief.
