Canadian Conservative Party Denies Funding For Pride Toronto, American Army To Accept Anonymous Comments On Policy Preventing Gay Men And Women From Serving Openly, Made In Brazil The Magazine, Rob Adams, Twilight Jacob Doll, Ryan Phillippe Is Hot And Hates You

The Stephen Harper led Conservative government is not allocating any funding to Pride Toronto 2010, Industry Minister Tony Clement contending Friday that the decision is not motivated by a continual cry of anti-gay sentiment from within the party’s ranks. Clement said the government opted to fund fewer events in major cities this year, in order to divert monies to smaller cities. In 2009, a number of far-right wing Conservatives were angered when it was revealed that Diane Ablonczy, then Tourism Minister, allocated Pride $400,000. Clement said that it is inaccurate to suggest that the Pride funding was “cut off,” adding that there was “a whole new application process.” He also said that the Pride Festival is “a very successful event, it’s obviously able to stand on its own two feet.” However, Liberal tourism critic Navdeep Bains said “this is again another example, in my opinion, of a reckless, ideological cut from a Conservative government which actually has a history of attacking gay rights.”

United States Army Secretary John McHugh says that the military is considering a system for soldiers to anonymously express their opinions regarding the policy that prohibits gay men and women from serving openly. “We’re trying to do this in the quietest way possible, and by that, I simply mean not to sensationalize it, to try to really assess the soldiers’ opinions, said McHugh Friday, speaking in Hawaii, adding that “anonymity, of course, is an important aspect. McHugh made the comments alongside Lt. General Benjamin Mixon, who ran afoul of the Obama administration, when he urged the troops to lobby to keep the ban on openly gay military service in place, the two speaking at the 25th Infantry Division’s headquarters where it was announced that an estimated 800 soldiers from the division would be deployed to Iraq by the end of 2010.
