One thing I noticed was that Denial Smith said she was "uncomfortable" with letting kids be who they are under current legislation. To me, this sums up the problem - a lot of people are "uncomfortable" about gay & trans people. Does that mean they should have the power to impose this kind of draconian nonsense on kids?
I was *uncomfortable* when one of our kids came out as gay. But so what? I got over it almost immediately, & he's the same person he was before he came out. I get that a lot of people are uncomfortable having these discussions, but taking away the rights of a very small but visible group of people doesn't make any sense in a democracy. Especially when the drive to take away those rights comes from the same crowd who spent last February screaming about "FREEDOM!" for their cause.
What a brilliant post, Jody, thank you. So I suppose "free speech" warrior Ezra Levant's next court date will be to go after Danielle Smith for suppressing/blocking public comment?
