Bio

David Kirton
Not Supportable
CLC rating: pro-LGBT ideology; unknown on abortion
Rating Comments: On January 25, 2021, recently-elected Councillor Kirton, despite his initial resistance, caved in to LGBT pressure and persuasion and voted in favour of a draconian Motion to draft a by-law that would impose a ban on so-called "conversion therapy" in the City of Saskatoon. Such a ban would effectively prevent people with unwanted homoerotic and transsexualist fixations from receiving the therapeutic help they're seeking to overcome their unwanted condition.

Then, in February, 2023, Councillor Kirton tightened his embrace of Transgender ideology by telling a distressed parent that a gender-confused man who says he is a woman and walked around naked in the women’s changing room at a public swimming pool cannot be stopped because “gender identity” is “protected” in the province of Saskatchewan (see Quotes tab).
