“A gay married couple from Pointe Claire who say they were harassed by a homophobic teenager have been awarded $15,000 in damages by the Quebec Human Rights Tribunal. Théo Wouters and Roger Thibault had been seeking $37,000 in damages, claiming the initial apology offered by their young tormenter wasn’t sincere.” Well, the kid is a jerky 17-years old, so do you really expect him to be sincere?

Wow. I live in Pointe-Claire, and I couldn’t believe that a story like this was taking place in my town. Scary to think parents are still teaching their kids that violence is the appropriate response to difference.
