Alberta Told To Stop 'Gay Bashing'
http://www.365gay.com/newscon04/12/122204abRts.htm

Alberta's staunch opposition to same-sex marriage is no different than discriminatory laws once faced by Jews and non-whites around the world, gay and lesbian leaders say.

Premier Ralph Klein said earlier this month that same-sex marriages are morally wrong and his government will not allow them despite a Supreme Court ruling on the issue.

Gay and lesbian civil rights activists say they have sent a letter demanding a meeting with Klein in hopes of changing his mind. If not, they promise to challenge Alberta's position in court.


what a yutz!

1. He's a jerk, but the province has chosen him, and money, for
quite a while now. Alberta is unique in Canada, with different priorities than the rest of the country.
