Candidate, Laurie Throness
Independent Party, Chilliwack-Kent, BC
Bio
Throness had been the Liberal Party's Official Opposition Critic for Children and Family Development and Child Care.
Although he has been a speaker at the BC March For Life, Throness' position on abortion is unknown, as he has not responded to CLC's election questionnaire. His father and brother were pastors at the Christian Alliance Church in Chilliwack.
In July 2016, on the eve of the passage of Transgender enforcement Bill 27, MLA Throness gave a lucid and sobering speech warning his government colleagues against the dangers of adding the anti-human phrase "gender identity and expression" to the BC Human Rights Code. In that speech, MLA Throness predicted many of the harmful outcomes of such a misguided bill, some of which have already taken a stranglehold on BC society over the last few years (see Quotes and Video tabs). Notable among these injustices is the case of the BC father who is being forced by the courts to watch his teenage daughter undergo cross-sex hormone poisoning to suppress her natural biology and "transition" her into a "man", while the helpless father himself is muzzled by a court-imposed gag order.

Here is Laurie Throness's voting record relating to life and family issues:
| Votes, Surveys and Policy Decision | Vote | Score |
|---|---|---|
| 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".

Here are quotes from Laurie Throness on various life and family issues:
Warning his fellow MLA's about the growing domination of LGBT ideology in society and politics (2nd of 3 quotes). "When some person or group becomes irresistible to the government - when the government can no longer say 'no' to them - I get uncomfortable with that because if government ever aligns itself with partial or private interests rather than the public (interest), someone else's interest is going to suffer." [Speech to the legislative assembly of BC by MLA Laurie Throness, July 25, 2016]
Warning his fellow MLA's about the growing domination of LGBT ideology in society and politics (3rd of 3 quotes). "I have some questions. My first question is for the LGBT community (sic). Now that the movement has 'arrived' - now that its view dominates in our society - is it mature enough to tolerate difference? or will it brook no dissent? My question for my own government, which I'm proud to support, is this: Will parents be able to send their children or young and impressionable people to an institution that supports the acceptance of one's birth gender (sic), or will government take a monolithic approach that supports the concept of gender fluidity alone?" [Speech to the legislative assembly of BC by MLA Laurie Throness, July 25, 2016]
Warning his fellow MLA's about the growing domination of LGBT ideology in society and politics (1st of 3 quotes). "In my opinion, this special recognition (Bill 27, adding 'gender identity and expression' to the BC Human Rights Code) reflects the strong and growing political influence of the LGBT community (sic) . . . When the White House is bathed in rainbow colours, it's not a symbol of weakness, but of strength. Look at Vancouver's or Toronto's Pride Parade; these are all displays of power." [Speech to the legislative assembly of BC by MLA Laurie Throness, July 25, 2016]
