| Marched in, or endorsed, a Gay Pride Parade Gay Pride festivals are controversial, often feature mock sex acts in public and are offensive to many, perhaps most, Canadians. As such it is inaprropriate for an elected representative to endorse one side of this socially divisive issue. Elected officials are supposed to represent ALL their consituents, not just the politically correct ones. |

| Bill 27 - 3rd reading of an Act to amend the BC Human Rights Code to add the LGBT-invented phrase "gender identity or expression" as a prohibited ground of discrimination. This totalitarian Bill, introduced by BC Liberal Justice Minister Suzanne Anton, legally invents a new breed of humans out of those suffering from Gender Identity Disorder. The new law threatens to punish people who refuse to recognize or affirm transsexual delusions and alter-egos, considering such refusal to be a violation of "human rights". [Passed unanimously on July 25, 2016 by all 70 MLAs who cast a vote] |

Here are quotes from Christy Clark on various life and family issues:
Defending the democratic rights of pro-life Canadians whilst also declaring her personal support for abortion: "The talk about abortion rights during the (2019 federal election) debate really bugged me. May and Scheer have both said they won't change the laws on abortion, and then both took heat for allowing candidates to run with them who are pro-life. So what? Should people who are pro-life be barred from participating in public life? I'm proudly pro-choice, but as a leader, I worked with lots of people in my caucus who disagreed with me on that. They weren't dangerous radicals from the alt-right. They were just people with deeply held, very different views from mine. And they accepted that limiting access to abortion was NOT on our party's agenda. We were united around one thing: growing our economy. The result? Many of those same people whom Jagmeet and JT apparently want to bar from holding public office made huge contributions to making BC better.
They weren’t dangerous radicals from the alt-right. They were just people with deeply held, very different views from mine.
And they accepted that limiting access to abortion was NOT on our party’s agenda.”

Clarke was asked her view on homosexual marriage at a Christian gathering and said: “I support them… Family comes in many different forms ... so I support the principle (of same-sex marriage) politically and personally."
