Toronto school trustee called ‘homophobic’ for questioning nudity at ‘family friendly’ Pride parade

Homosexual activists have slammed him as an ‘outrageous bigot,’ but Toronto District School Board trustee Sam Sotiropoulos says that he’s just concerned about children viewing illegal public nudity at the city’s annual Pride parade.

Sotiropoulos created a firestorm on Twitter last week after he tweeted the Toronto Police force asking if it would enforce Canadian law against public nudity.

“As #TDSB participation raises questions of age-appropriateness, do you enforce Canada's public nudity laws at Pride?” he asked.

Sotiropoulos, who says he has nothing against “LGBTQ” people and says he would attend the Pride parade if invited, was immediately accused on twitter of insulting and hating gays and was labeled “homophobic.”

Under Canada’s Criminal Code it is illegal to be nude in a “public place.” Section 174 states that a person who is “so clad as to offend against public decency or order” is “guilty of an offence punishable on summary conviction.”

Sotiropoulos says that city officials have a double standard when it comes to nudity at the Pride parade.

Sotiropoulos said as a TDSB trustee, he has no problem with the board promoting the Pride parade. He agrees with the “very nature of the parade,” saying that the TDSB having a float in the parade is “part of our social justice piece.”

Sotiropoulos said that he does not understand “how being naked [in public] is part of being gay. I get stuck on that question. Why is that a necessary element to parade naked in the streets of Toronto to express what? I’m not sure, except for the flouting of the laws of this country.”

It's not about flouting the laws of a country. It's about flouting the laws of God and the rebellion will not stop when you give them a parade. It won't stop when you give them a naked parade. It won't stop until any and every perversion that can be thought of is made center stage and treated as normal.

I think it's good to see the nudity. SO few people look good nude...SO FEW.
Most human bodies past 25 years of age are fairly OOOOOOOOGLY with FAT bellies, saggy tits (both genders), flabby thighs and horrific butts.

We won't even get into the jowls, bags under the eyes and CHINS. OOOOooooo.

SOME bodies get horrific MUCH earlier. TOO MUCH computer and T.V. time sitting on the old fatus buttus--that's Latin, ya know.

Cosmetic surgeons are WEALTHY people.

Liberals eating their own??

This dude is liberal. He agrees with the whole concept of the parade and gay life and all that. But, he questions one aspect of the parade, and is slammed down hard by those who are more liberal than he. EVEN though he is liberal, he is condemned anyway, for having the audacity to hope that everyone keep their clothes on.

The man should have declared his conversion to Islam before making the complaint.

he asks a good question.....why is public nudity and outrageous dress/undress part of being gay?....oh, that's right...that IS gayness...the wanton abandonment of shame, morality,culture,sophistication, and decency.....

remember the quaint old days when they just wanted the govt out of their bedrooms....

Homosexuals are crazy. Never negotiate with a crazy person.

I am reminded of Seinfeld’s “Goof Naked vs. Bad Naked” discussion.
