| Description | OTTAWA — It has all the hallmarks of a politician’s glossy Christmas card.
Pastoral setting? Check.
Doe-eyed golden retriever? Check.
Handsome couple dressed in smart casual? Check.
Same-sex couple?
That was too much for "a handful of bigots" who objected to Scott Brison’s holiday greeting card depicting him and spouse Maxime St. Pierre, according to the Nova Scotia Liberal MP.
"The overwhelming response has been very positive," Brison said from Windsor. "There’s always a very, very tiny minority of bigots. It’s their problem, it’s not my problem."
At least one news website had to shut down its comments section running under a story about the card. The Globe and Mail web editor said the section was shut down because of "hateful and homophobic remarks." |
