If you asked Conservative MP David Sweet in 2002 what he thought of homosexuality, his answer would have been deeply negative, if not incendiary. As president of the icky men-only Promise Keepers during that time, he would have probably told you that ‘homosexuality is a bad practice’.
So what is David Sweet doing appearing in the infamous anti-bullying video honouring a gay teen? He won’t say. Brave of him. (Courage seems to be virulent with the Cons lately.)
I found this especially interesting tidbit from the Wiki page for the Promise Keepers:
The group was also criticized for doctrinal compromises and inconsistent doctrines. Dr. Raymond Hartwig, president of the South Dakota district of the Lutheran Church-Missouri Synod, commented: “They use the Bible in a very simplistic form, as a springboard to jump into the law.'”
Sounds positively Harperish, doesn’t it?
So the question remains, what is a whack job like David Sweet doing in a video dedicated to a gay teen?
