Fair enough I was using hyperbole to make a point however celebrities should be the last people politicians talk to to set policy. Her life experience is significantly different than the average person do to her access to money.

Kristopher Wells from that article makes a lot more sense to talk to
The Calgary Pride organizers make a lot more sense to talk to.
