Why a Conservative majority is dangerous to sexual minorities

By Xtra.ca

Pink Triangle Press (PTP), Canada's gay and lesbian media group, publishes a special supplement online at the new Xtra.ca and as a 16-page insert in its Ottawa publication, Capital Xtra. The insert will also be published in the issues of Xtra and Xtra West.

Stephen Harper and the Rising Clout of Canada's Religious Right is an in-depth examination of how the Conservative Party pandered to faith-based groups to win a minority government in 2006. The piece, written by award-winning journalist Marci McDonald, originally appeared in the Oct 2006 issue of the Walrus magazine.

"Were… gestures — like Harper's promised vote on reopening the gay marriage debate — mere sops to a constituency that the Conservatives need to transform their mandate into a majority?" writes McDonald. "Could it be that Harper has tied the Conservatives' future to a strategic faith-based alliance modelled after one that is already beginning to backfire on his ideological soul mate in the White House?"

"This Conservative government was elected partly because the Harper campaign promised antigay, faith-based groups that it would actively marginalize gay and lesbian Canadians," says Matt Mills, Xtra's associate publisher and managing editor. "McDonald's work illustrates that point brilliantly. We are running it in the Xtra publications because I believe every Canadian ought to read it before the Oct 14 vote."
