Conservative, socialist candidates OK with gay sex in public parks

In the interviews published September 6, the paper asked, ‘Xtra readers recently voted Queen’s Park the best place to have sex in public in Toronto and Xtra has made a plaque to honour this distinction. As premier, would you display it outside the legislature?’

“NDP Leader Hampton replied: ‘That would be an interesting plaque. Let me put it this way, I’d certainly want to see the plaque. Whether it deserves a place in the legislature or the park outside I’d have to look at, but I’d want to see the plaque first.’

“While Tory’s reply was less open to displaying the plaque, his remarks could in no way be perceived as negative toward the illegal activity of sex in public. ‘I don’t think so. I don’t think it is something that I would like to see on the seat of government. There’s a lot of things that I probably wouldn’t put up in Queen’s Park, in a park that has a memorial to the veterans of war,’ Tory replied.”

“Hapton told the paper that the NDP is committed to forcing Ontario taxpayers to fund sex-change operations.”
