Let's be honest. There are homosexuals in every society. As I recall up to 10% of any population is possibly homosexual. As for a Mountie being homosexual - so what! Rugby League is a pretty tough form of football. Some years ago one of our leading players came out. Did they kick him off the team? Of course not. While I think it inappropriate and politically unwise for gay people to encroach on traditional marriage, I think they are entitled to the right to act as each others next of kin etc and to have their relationships recognised through some form of civil union. In the past gay people occupied all sorts of positions and no doubt there were some in the RCMP and the FBI. However, unlike today, society did not know about it. Gay people did not come out. As for people who would continue to persecute gay people, perhaps they should remember what Christ said about throwing the first stone. If conservatism is to thrive and prosper, it must show some compassion.
Well said, Fair Go
