DescriptionCanadian Alliance MP Larry Spencer has been fired as the party's family issues critic by Stephen Harper.

The Canadian Alliance leader says Spencer's comments on homosexuality were totally unacceptable and do not reflect the party's stance on gays.

The movement's progress in gaining public acceptance for homosexuality would have been slowed if former prime minister Pierre Trudeau had not legalized homosexuality in 1969, said Spencer, a U.S.-born former Baptist pastor.

The Saskatchewan MP(Spencer) said the conspiracy included the seduction and recruitment of young boys in playgrounds and locker rooms and the deliberate infiltration of North American's judiciary, schools, religious community and entertainment industry.

Spencer represents the riding of Regina-Lumsden-Lake Centre. [Link]
