I was on Twitter a few days ago and someone made the claim that Gay People's basic Human Rights are under attack in Canada. I asked them to provide an example. When they could not I opened it to a greater Twitter audience. At that time, no one was able to provide to me a concrete example of gay rights being attacked in Canada. There were a lot of personal attacks, angry tweets, a few good discussions and many examples of people being being assholes or overall criminals. Some of my detractors even ended up admitting that we do have equality and then attempted to move the goal posts of the conversation that far-right Christians were trying to de-person gay people but again nothing of substance was produced. With pride season coming up in Canada, I believe that we need to differentiate between the TQ's and the LGB's as well as equality, equity and stop conflating individual private bigotry with Governmental abuse of rights.
