Isn't the reason people emigrate to Canada to be able to speak freely, that all religions are respected, and that everyone has the same rights as we do?? You can't have it both ways, tolerance is a right in this society!

@kkatt3939 And isn't the Charter of Rights and Freedoms for ALL people? Just as Canadians have shown acceptance to Muslims , Muslims need to respect the fact that LGBTQ people are ALSO protected by that same charter. You don't get to pick out the ones you don't like.
@kkatt3939 There should be no respect for religions that violate secular humanistic values e.g., Biblical “slaves, obey your masters”, “thou shalt have no gods other than me”, etc.
@kkatt3939 @lmv6719 They certainly have a right to protest. What they fail to understand is should the Cons gain power they will be the next target. Remember the Barbaric Cultural Practices Hotline. That was only the beginning. Ask the Muslim family mowed down in London how they feel.
@kkatt3939 Tolerance is a social contract. You can't have it both ways. If they break that contract by insisting that queers aren't covered, then they are also not covered. It is in their best interest to support & celebrate others if they wish to enjoy that same right.
@kkatt3939 @1Cushion1 People emigrate here for different reasons; some for freedom, some for family, some for money. They can bring a hate for minorities, too. Canada is stronger for their presence but that does not mean they can also hate freely without being called out.
