The British Columbia MP Hall of Shame.

They are homophobes, and that affects "us", but people who are homophobic can also be counted upon to be racist, sexist, classist, ageist and will hide many other very unpleasant biases that will affect everyone.

As Pastor Martin Niemoeller wrote in 1938:

First they came for the communists, and I did not speak out-because I was not a communist;
Then they came for the socialists, and I did not speak out-because I was not a socialist;
Then they came for the trade unionists, and I did not speak out-because I was not a trade unionist;
Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out-because I was not a Jew;
Then they came for me-and there was no one left to speak out for me.

Beware of these Members of Parliament who don't support equality or the Charter of Rights and Freedoms:

Jim Abbott
John Cummins
(Laughing) Stockwell Day
John Duncan
Paul Forseth
Gurmant Grewel
Nina Grewel
Dick Harris
Russ Hiebert
Jay Hill
Betty Hinton
Randy Kamp
Gary Lunn
James Lunney
John Reynolds
Werner Schmidt
Darrel Stinson
Chuck Strahl
Mark Warawa
Randy White
