@RayK, I remember seeing plenty of people posting in blogs about racism re: Ruby Dhalla; both liberal and conservative. Seeing as the issue of Baird that you are comparing it to is about a blog comment, and the comments about Dhalla were also made in blog comments, I'd say your point is moot. Really, RayK you can do better than that. (LOL)

It’s rather amusing watching conservatives adopt the very strawman caricature of political correctness that they’ve railed against all these years. When was Baird’s sexual orientation ever part of the criticism?

I feel a little better now that I’ve read the comments for this post — I had started to think that I was the only person in Canada who didn’t know that Baird was into guys! I knew that he was a useless prick, but I had no idea that he was gay. That said, I still think he’s a useless prick.

Oops, no “s” on the end of “racism”.

Ruby Dhalla is Sikh, and I don’t remember anyone screaming racisms when she was on the hot seat, do you? Think it about. (LOL)

Proof that you don’t have to be heterosexual to be a empty partisan asshole.

First off there are few Conservatives in the present conservative party (least of all, Harper). The bulk are fundamentalist, narrow minded, fascist/authoritarians, immature, ill-informed and severely undereducated with a predilection for, “fluffing”, reality.
Fourthly, they started it; “if you can’t stand the heat, don’t play in the kitchen”.

John Baird is gay? You’re kidding. Who really cares? He is, however, an asshole… He’s also, quite obviously self-hating if he’s a member of THIS PARTICULAR Conservative movement…

Does ‘Lorraine’ know something we don’t know? I, for one, didn’t know Baird was officially, publicly out of the closet.

Where’s our media on this topic? Why haven’t the blogs mentioned it?

Anyway, as Scott pointed out, his sexual orientation, whatever it may be, is completely irrelevant and unrelated to any criticism that he has received.
