3. I don't even remember their Bushdamn names...
One, a "Wesleyan" (What a fucking joke. Wesley was a liberal.) sent a letter to city council asking them to pass a resolution condemning same-sex marriage. (Not exactly a nice image for the "friendly seaway city". Luckily, even councillors who admitted to opposing same-sex marriage failed to see why it was even a municipal issue.)

Another, the pastor at some fundie-Baptist-derivative...I think his church is called Fountain Head Assembly Church, was a leader at some anti-same sex marriage rally and stated that the British Columbia forest fires were "God's punishment for Canada's tolerance of deviant relationships." I laughed when I read it in the newspapers

Most people outside of their congregations -- including those who agree with them -- don't really know they exist, and they don't hold any power or notoriety within the community.

Nonethless, there is a lot of homophobia here and racism against Pakistanis (although rarely against other minorities) tends to be a problem as we become more diverse.
