It wasn’t that the Township voted to condemn “LGBT pride”. They didn’t say a single negative word about homosexual or transgender-identifying people! In fact, the Township has an official “Declaration of Equality” specifically affirming the “dignity and worth” of all people – including those who identify as LGBT. The Township merely voted against elevating LGBT lifestyles above everything else. And, for that, the Tribunal cast the Mayor and his fellow Councillors as haters and bigots!
One unelected kangaroo court adjudicator wants to take away the democratic right of elected representatives to vote for the will of their constituents. This pseudo-judge is trying to force duly elected municipal politicians to vote according to the Tribunal’s woke agenda instead of the citizens’ agenda. Clearly, the Tribunal wants to force the public celebration of homosexuality and transgenderism. That is not only absurd, it is immoral and unconscionable!
Prime Minister Pierre Elliott Trudeau, whose government legalized homosexuality in 1969, commented: “Take this thing on homosexuality… I think that what’s done in private between adults doesn’t concern the Criminal Code. When it becomes public this is a different matter, or when it relates to minors this is a different matter.” (Emphasis added). Even Trudeau Senior would have agreed with the Township of Emo!
We can’t allow an unelected Tribunal to dictate to elected officials what they should say or how they should vote. This should be recognized for the danger it poses to everyone – both on the political Right and on the political Left: It is the demolition of democracy!
Please take a moment to send an Action Alert Email to your local Member of Provincial Parliament. We need to urge our representatives at Queen’s Park to listen to the voice of their constituents and take legislative action to rein in the democracy-trampling power of the Tribunal.
