Even though he is not my MP, I think that one day he should run for leader. We need people like him who is with conviction. :)

He's absolutely right, and that's been my argument for years.
I defy anyone to show me where/how homosexuals are discriminated against in the law.

Say, there something stupid that I've been musing about that I'd like to bounce off you all. Whenever a politician is involved in an issue for which he/she will benefit personally, the individual is supposed to declare a conflict of interest. Now I would safely assume that the passing of the Liberal's Anti-marriage Bill C-38 would be to the benefit of homosexuals, right? Does this mean that all homo MPs voting on the bill are obliged to out themselves or otherwise declare themselves to be in a conflict of interest? Now I'm sure that the argument for not having to out themselves will be that 'this is something that is in the interest of all Canadians' like health care, or unemployment or pension benefits. But wait a minute, homosexuals only represent about 2% of the population so that argument doesn't hold water.
As I mentioned earlier on this posting, I've contacted my MP to see where he stands (he's for it) and I'd like to pose a questions to him but am not sure how to word it. Essentially I'd like to ask him if he is a homosexual and whether he believes his orientation has anything to do with how he intends to vote. Is it not a fair question to ask? Any ideas on how I should word it with him? Thanks for any suggestions that you all may have.
