& - Wednesday, July 9, (986 - North Shore News Mr. Robert Hunter, Port Moody, B.C. DEAR BOB: Your piece about the Collins approach to fags was a lot of Doug Collins @® get this straight @ fun. | must remind you, though, that | was not always Cobra Collins. | once believed, like you, that there wasn’t much wrong in wrong. If Iet alone, said 1, the fags would harm no one but themselves. Know what | mean? But, contrary to what you may think, do not dislike homosexuals as such. Live and let live is my mot to, As you know, T worked for the CBC for many a year and came across quite a few. For at that time public broadcasting seemed to at- tract more of them than you would find in other media. T will say for the CBC fags of those days, however, that they never pushed themselves in) where they weren't wanted, But they were expert fixers and often went on trips together at oublic expense. | well remember one puir that flew off to hold hands in Hong Kong. Research, you know, Whether they charged the CBC for double or single rooms 7) don't know. Anyway, we just laughed about it. V1) tell you something else, Bob old bean, When Trudeau said that the state had no business in’ the bedrooms of the nations | applaud- ed. What sense was there in sending homos off to jail where the doings of consenting adults were concerned? Well-meaning idiots like old Cobra here had no idea, of course, what that dose of liberality would lead to, Or that fags would become a political force seeking to make society over into their own image. Nor could anyone have imagined that a bevy of Canadian MPs, in- cluding the iP for Capilano, would one day tour the country try- ing to suck up to homos and assur- ing them that they would have equal opportunities in the armed forces and the RCMP, Which, naturally, will one day lead to a fag quota in those establishments. Also unimaginable was that a Canadian justice minister would state in parliament that ‘sexual orientation’? — meaning the queer way of doing things — would have the feds blessing. Our friends and their allies in the human cights industry complain endlessly that they are being discriminated against, hence the lunatic laws that are in the making to protect them. But discrimination is a hell of @ good thing, 2 will discriminate like mad, for instance, if Uthink my food is being handled by the AIDS crowd. no mittter how miuany clever people tell me it’s OK. (How about you?) Live and let live hits its limits. We straights have to be on our guard, Bob. That's what it's come to. Which leads me to consider something clse. We have just seen the spectacle of the Noyes’ trial, which showed a pervert was able to spend f4 veurs roaming around the schools ruining kids. Plenty of others like him have done the same. He should have been fired when the first firm cam. plaint was daid, but he was pro- tected. That's liberal thinking for vou. Nobody wanted to be misty. Or was it that some of his protec- Thurs.
