Well if you want something more recent regarding the Conservative stance on homosexuality, how about Minister Finley's response to a request to prevent the deportation of a gay man to Malaysia, where he would face torture for being a gay man.

Finley refused to even consider using her Ministerial powers to protect a gay man from pending torture and imprisonment. That is an abdication of duty and an insight as to the mentality of the party in my opinion. It is also an insight into the failings of the Immigration and Refugee Board, but for a political party to deny an individual such as this man Ministerial discretion, when it is clear as day that the man will be discriminated against based on being a member of a social group is quite sad.

That example is from last month for what it is worth......
