Canadian evangelical’s show cancelled after he… repeats official Tourism Toronto slogan on the air

More on the story I brought you earlier today:

The broadcasting council, which made the decision in June but only made it public this week, censured the comments because he referred to the event as a “sex parade” [note: photos feature public nudity] in a “disparaging tone,” expressed skepticism over the parade’s popularity and “claimed that the City of Toronto’s tourism slogan had been changed to ‘as gay as it gets’ and that advertising for the Pride events promoted sex with children.”

The broadcasting council said Rev. McVety derided the city for advertising Toronto as a “sex tourism destination … with full opportunity for sex with hot boys.”

(Tourism Toronto ran online ads that called Toronto “as gay as it gets” in 2008 and another online advertisement that said, “On any given day, hot boys and hot girls fill Church Street with energy, passion and opportunity.”)
