And because you don't believe it doesn't make it untrue.
I think my point might be easier explained with a few yes/no questions.
Are female politicians treated differently than their male counterparts by some people because they are women?
I believe the answer is yes. Some people, apparently, say no. Fine. I think they are wrong.
Do I think a conservative from the Wildrose Party would be hostile to an openly gay woman for reasons other than (but also including) her politics? Yes. They did, after all, lose the election at least partially due to their backwards views.
Would he have treated the situation differently if the Premier of Ontario sitting there was a man? I think that's a good bet. So, yes.
Did one of his supporters say something sexist and homophobic about that woman shortly after this incident and did the Wildrose MLA in question quickly with him? That happened, so that's not a yes or no thing.

For the first part with all due respect you're being disingenuous based on your interpretation of a political party, there is absolutely nothing proof wise or solid wise that matches up to your point. I also find it really wrong considering that the Wildrose party was lead by a woman at one point and they have woman in key positions including Angela Pitt.
The last part of the supporter and the MLA in question absolutely and I'm onboard with him being suspended, but is it a reflection of the whole party? And in the legislature did he go after Wynne because she's a woman, or because she's a dangerous incompetent.
Basically Wynne decided to invent controversy and is trying to gain some kind of twisted sympathy based on something that's unproven and in my mind patently bull####, which in her case is something that she likes to spread around liberally (See what I did there?
)
