CBC headline: Discrimination OK when it comes to marriage: Klein

"We will be writing to all Liberal and Conservative members. I'll be writing to the prime minister," Klein said. "I have friends who are gays and friends who are lesbians, and they are wonderful people. "I do feel that gays and lesbians ought not to be discriminated against in any other form other than marriage, because I think that marriage is a sacred thing that exists between a man and a woman."

Up there with showing up drunk at a homeless shelter and telling them to get a job, you lazy bums, and the whole thing with the "you don't look disabled" comment. Blergh.

"I have friends who are gays and friends who are lesbians, and they are wonderful people. "

AUGH. I HATEHATEHATE this arguement. "Some of my best friends are ______ but..."

It just goes to show what sort of person he is, what a wonderful friend he really is. Some of my best friends are *people* and not defined by which gender (or both!) they prefer.

Didn't you know that having a gay friend is the "black friend" of the noughties? Especially if your "gay friend" is of the self-loathing variety that votes Reform (or Republican if you're American)--it's all about tokenism, baby!
