Canada's Santorum: It looks like there is another politician suffering from Foot in Mouth Disease. The Globe and Mail reports that Progressive Conservative MP Elise Wayne of New Brunswick, basically to gays and lesbians asking for marriage right ought to "live together and shut up about it [marriage]." She also wondered why gays have to be in public and putting on parades. Is Ms. Wayne a bigot? Not according to her. She has many gay friends, but they keep their sexuality to themselves. (Then how does she know about it?)

There was some good news to report. Scott Brison, a fellow Tory MP has asked for her to step down as deputy leader. Brison is running for the leadership of the Progressive Conservative party and is also openly gay.

It's a shame that Ms. Wayne continues to make it look like all conservatives are bigots, but I'm thankful for people like Mr. Brison.
