I was part way through a conversation with someone who does not hold the same political beliefs as I do, when it struck me that common sense crosses all political beliefs – at least it should. Here is part of the conversation we had:
Friend … Unfortunate reaction to your leaders' comments on gays/lesbians on protection in BC Human Rights Act. I understand whether he was coming from but hopefully this issue won't have "legs".
Me … It’s a NON issue as far as I'm concerned ... bugs the CRAP out of me that every person that thinks they MAY be part of some minority group wants some SPECIAL protection --- each of us already is/ has equal protection under the law ... is it that they want EXTRA protection and if so why / what makes them more important than me.
Friend … I agree but these groups squeak loudly and thus politicians are forced to listen. A shame though but a political truth. Same goes for speaking on local ( xyz ) issues here - not allowed to speak the truth but a lesser form of the truth.
