Unless I have mis-clicked/mis-read those are all stories about the conflict between the PCs interpretation of a TDSB guidebook and how they got the word out about the TDSB policy.
They mocked the policy/procedure not being gay. At the time, the only part of he TDSB guideline I took offence to was the whole idea that parents not be consulted but we are in trouble in a society if we can not debate/discuss how subjects are taught/presented to children and when.
Some PC candidates at the time were ham fisted and incorrect on how they communicated their concerns about the TDSB guidelines (and likely paid a political price for that) but criticizing a policy does not make you a homophobe.
If that makes me a homophobe/bigot in your eyes, I and a lot of people I know would be surprised.
Cuts to education. Anti-gay.
Cuts to education don't make someone anti-family. Again, we should be able to have reasonable discourse about how we offer and fund all of our services without resorting to name calling. Is Kathleen Wynne and her party anti-youth because in my mind they are taking on so much debt without a reasonable plan to change that that there is going to be no future for them in a province that has to expend an ever increasing and difficult to manage amount of its revenue just servicing the debt? Of course not. Each party is proposing what they think are the best policies for the present and future of the province....it does not make them "anti-anything".
