Just read on Twitter that Mayor Rob Ford has read a proclamation at the flag raising on International Day Against Homophobia.

Yeah, before we all rush to pat him on the back, let's remember that our mayor doing the right thing is still the newsworthy exception.
In other news, a 7 year old resentfully ate his brussel sprouts when his mommy forced him to.
