HomeMy WebLinkAboutThe Lucknow Sentinel, 1986-12-10, Page 5a Reader questions Elston's vote on homosexual diserhnination To the Editor, This week our M.P.P. Murray Elston voted in the Ontario Legislature to protect homose uals from discrimination, ecause of this, any family with a self contained apartment for rent will not be able to refuse a prospective tenant because he is a homosexual. Nor will an employer of young people, without break- ing the law, be able to refuse a job because of a man's homosexuality. Let there be no argument on this, some of us know personally that the nature of the deviation is such that a sizeable ntunber of homosexuals have a preference for young boys. Surely therefore, children should not be put at risk, and good people should not have to break the law to protect youngsters. If only one child is molested or gets A.I.D.S. because of the new law, then TO Murray Elston's vote is a dreadful thing. If you agree then please phone Murray and tell him you want the vote rescinded and soon. His office numbers are 357-2463 and 3964735, and be warned, they will try to soothe you with fair words about "treating everyone equally." Yours sincerely, Peter Edisbury RR 5 Lucknow P.S This _letter is not a disguised plea to hate homosexuals, rather we should try to like them, but not their practices.
