Attack of the homosexual.

This story does nothing to help the concerns the gay community has with respect to marriage and A Harper Government.

I expect more from the Canadian Press than a misrepresentation of why Harper spoke of same-sex marriage at the start of the campaign. He simply responded to a question, probably from the same CP reporter.

Harper's response was much more mainstream than the reaction to it. The storey left me with the impression of a bunch of paranoid, militant, ignorant homosexuals, over- reacting to a free vote and a protection of the status quo. A free vote Harper does not expect to win.

This is the kind of storey that actually hurts the homosexual community because it lacks integrity,is totally inflammatory, not to mention it is a month late for a group to be, "alarmed" into, "high alert".

Hopefully the CP will act more responsibly and foster consultation between groups, to alleviate fears and bring greater understanding of the others concerns. Freedom of religion and equality before the law must be respected by both sides. It should not be inflamed because it happens to be a wedge issue for the Liberals, nor should the unity of Canada.
