Behold, the latest atrocity by writer Christie Blatchford. After studying for weeks the impacts of macho men who allegedly massacred their daughters and a wife to protect male honour, she’s now lamenting the low number of macho male rapists and child murderers in Toronto. Blatchford doesn’t like men showing their

Queer-liberal: Rob Ford’s special message to Scarborough: "Suckers!"
Voters in Toronto’s suburbs complained the former Miller administration ignored them and only spent money downtown, so they elected Rob Ford, who killed Miller’s Transit City plan which would’ve built rapid transit lines throughout the suburbs. Now Scarborough will have no rapid transit and crowded buses for four years starting

Yes, the provincial government has introduced tough new anti-bullying legislation. The legislation includes provisions which will ensure that LGBT students and their straight friends who wish to form Gay-Straight Alliance-type groups in all publicly-funded schools will be able to do so. Such groups help promote tolerance and acceptance for LGBT

Disgusting. Nothing surprises me about these neo-con dopes in the Conservative Party of Canada anymore. Maybe this was Lethbridge MP Jim Hillyer’s imitation of Marc Lepine?
Continue readingQueer-liberal: A great clip from ‘Designing Women’ on World AIDS Day…
This scene and this episode of ‘Designing Women’ meant so much to me when it first aired in the late 1980s. I was a closeted teenager living in homophobic and AIDS-phobic times, quite used to sad depictions on television and elsewhere of effeminate, weak gay men dying like helpless victims
Continue readingQueer-liberal: Goodbye ‘Movember’! Hello ‘ABSTA-VEMBER’ in 2012!
I am so glad to see ‘Movember’ come to an end. Yes, raising awareness and funds in the fight against prostate cancer is a great cause and I’m glad they raised so much of it in Canada and elsewhere this month. The problem with ‘Movember’, at least for me, is

This is a great ‘It Gets Better’ video by Ontario Premier Dalton McGuinty, proving yet again he’s the right person for the job as leader of this great, dynamic and diverse province. It’s nice to have a premier who stands up for all students and is willing to take action
Continue readingQueer-liberal: Useless Tory MP Rob Anders falls asleep in Parliament
Despite his previous attacks on Nelson Mandela and longtime moronic behaviour, Tory MP Rob Anders has been continually protected by the central Tory brass around Stephen Harper from ever being challenged for his free ticket to Parliament from Calgary West, despite numerous attempts over the years to elect somebody qualified

I’m very glad to read that the Toronto District School Board is trying to hold PC Leader Tim Hudak accountable for his party’s disgusting, misleading and ‘homophobic’ flyer published during the recent Ontario election campaign. I blogged about th…

I love it when this happens. Not only does the LGBT community get to shatter some stereotypes about athletes, we also get a new and VERY HOT hero! David Testo, a 30-year-old midfielder who played for the Montreal Impact and Vancouver Whitecaps FC, re…

This week’s tragic death of cyclist Jenna Morrison, a pregnant, 38-year-old mother and wife, in Toronto’s west-end has really hit home for me. Morrison died at the corner of Sterling Road while turning west on her bicycle onto Dundas, a turn I also ma…

Enough said. Great video!

The case of Saskatchewan resident Bill Whatcott, who published and distributed in 2001 and 2002 some virulent hatred against LGBT people, is now before the Supreme Court of Canada. In his case, the Saskatchewan Human Rights Commission found Whatcott g…

Have a watch of this video shot by yet another talented, beautiful, young gay man whose life was cut short this weekend by suicide. Every gay man understands the pain and isolation that Jamie Hubley expressed on his blog recently (see the image borrow…

Like many, I’ve heard the rumours about the lovely Zachary Quinto being gay for years. I’m thrilled that the actor best known for his roles as Spock in J. J. Abrams’s 2009 rendition of Star Trek and his breakout role in the TV show Heroes has made…
Continue readingQueer-liberal: Hudak’s willingness to embrace xenophobia and homophobia ‘not healthy’, leads to his defeat…
Once again, we get weird, illogical reasoning from weak, adolescent Tory leader Tim Hudak in reaction to the Greater Toronto Area’s overwhelming rejection of him and his party. He’s now calling the huge Liberal win in the G.T.A. ‘unhealthy.’The only t…

I’m glad to see this story has taken off in the mainstream media. This issue will be the straw that breaks that camel’s back for Tory support in Ontario, I predict. When asked yesterday about the homophobic flyers being distributed by PC candidates,…

Thanks to Warren Kinsella who posted about this issue today. If you needed further proof that Tim Hudak’s Ontario P.C. party has been taken over by the Tea Party, check out this disgustingly hateful and misleading pamphlet on the right. This pamphlet…
Continue readingQueer-liberal: McGuinty’s got my vote
I’ve had a love-hate relationship with Ontario Premier Dalton McGuinty for a while. I still haven’t fully forgiven him for the 2007 Ontario referendum fiasco, in which he hobbled the once-in-a-generation chance to reform our First-Past-The-Post voting…

TheStar Hudak and Horwath scold McGuinty for missing northern Ontario debateIn my humble estimation, Liberal Premier Dalton McGuinty has been (mostly) kicking Tory leader Tim Hudak’s butt during this Ontario election campaign. McGuinty’s cause has bee…
