Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper knows how to play pussy and politics. While he chides anti-gay MP Tom Lukiwski for his anti-gay comments, Harper’s quick to tell the press – and the public – to accept his party peer’s apology:
Harper said a Conservative MP has apologized for “completely unacceptable” anti-gay comments he made almost two decades ago and will not be disciplined.
…
In the House of Commons on Monday, Harper said the MP has given an “unqualified” apology and demonstrated remorse for his comment.“I believe that when such apology and remorse is sought from an individual member, the generous and high-minded thing to do is to accept that apology,” Harper said in response to NDP and Liberal calls for Lukiwski’s dismissal as parliamentary secretary to the government house leader.
Actually, we agree. Lukiwski’s uttered comments – which nonsensically describes his opposition as dirty faggots, who apparently have dirty fingernails – over a decade ago and while under the influence. We once thought we liked girls, so people obviously can change and we’re willing to believe Lukiwski’s sorry – he got caught…

If he called his opposition the n word, no matter how under the influence he was, he would lose his post. This is just an example of how it’s still okay to say shit about gay people.

But his views were reiterated as recently as 2005 as a vocal opponent of same-sex marriage which he predicted would lead to society’s downfall.

Nope! Dude needs to step down! If it was directed at Jews or Black people, we all know where he’d be by now!
