Candidate, Jeromy Farkas
Calgary, AB
Electoral District: Ward 11
Bio
CLC rating: Pro-lgbt ideology
Rating Comments: On May 25, 2020, Councillor Farkas voted to pass a tyrannical ban on so-called "conversion therapy", thereby robbing Calgarians of their human right to freely seek therapy and council to overcome unwanted homoerotic and transsexualist fixations.
Previously, on February 3, 2020, Farkas joined the rest of the Calgary City Councillors to unanimously pass a motion to draft the bylaw banning this beneficial and effective practice within the city boundaries. The bylaw will ban psychologists, psychiatrists, therapists, priests and pastors from providing counselling support to patients who request assistance with unwanted same-sex attraction and gender identity confusion. It will also inevitably lead to the de-facto criminalization of key Christian teachings on human sexuality, predictably including public prayer and evangelization to call homosexuals out of a sinful lifestyle.
Farkas, a self-professed bisexualist, has been one of the most outspoken promoters of this totalitarian ban.
Ran for office of Mayor of Calgary in 2021 municipal elections, but did not win.
