In Canada, this qualifies as hate speech. Expect charges to be filed.

Today if you stand up for traditional values, expect to be vilified and persecuted. Bill Willis is a courageous man in an increasingly pagan world. He deserves to be commended for his principled stand.

His gonads are of the large variety. Good for him. His political career is down the tubes, but he can stand proudly as a man amongst men.

To email Mayor Bill Mills: town@truro.ca

Just sent him a thank you/congratulatory note.

"I don't think it's the position of the municipality to celebrate anybody's sexual orientation. That's just the way it is, we don't have heterosexual week, do we? I think that is a private matter and I don't think the state has any function in that area."

That's good enough for me. Never mind his religious position, that's a red herring. Town Hall doesn't and shouldn't exist to be another venue for advertising the cause of the week or the month.

I agree people will remember for him sticking to his beliefs and probably the majority of the public.

Sanity prevails.

“Nova Scotia Mayor Refuses to Fly Gay Flag Because of Christian Beliefs”

Good.

“Deputy mayor says, “I don’t think it’s the position of the municipality to celebrate anybody’s sexual orientation””

Yep.

[yldstrk]

Gutsy move. Good for him.

Once again and all too rarely, a vote against those who demand special privileges based solely upon the MANNER in which THEY have SEX!!

There’s a gay flag?

Yes, they're the first racial minority with their own flag and cable channel. /heavy sarc

From the text.

.....has refused to fly the homosexual rainbow flag.....

Well that is a start, call it for what it is- a homosexual flag. Gay they are not. Spiteful describes some of these people. Fear is their weapon.

[FlingWingFlyer]

The homos now have their own flag? What will they think of next?
