They're both sell-outs.

Sell outs because they realize (or say they do) that gay marriage is the right thing to support, versus opposing it?  Sell outs to whom?  Red necks?  Religious right?   

That makes no sense.

Cite. I believe there just has to be life jackets for everyone on board, not that one has to wear them while in the boat.
Correct. In a boat and on a boat however mean two different things.  Regulations do not require it but we still require everyone over a certain weight/size to wear an inflatable 'personal flotation device' at all times on the boats I drive. Everyone is instructed in how to use it and told to inflate it only if they fall off the boat.  Kids who are to small to safely fit the PFD wear a child's life-jacket.  Transport Canada requires us to ensure kids take these off while they are in the cabin then put them on again when they go out on deck. It seems counter-intuitive until you think about it for a moment.  Its cute for example when someone asks why the Zodiacs don't have seat-belts.

In addition to all the above we also carry the required number of conventional life-jackets and lifeboats for everyone.

Which is also why you are told not to pull the cord to inflate your flotation device until you have left the plane. Pinned to the floorboards of an inverted Boeing would be a bad way to go.

When do I pull the cord on my parachute or is that a cute question?

They coincidentally came out in support of gay marriage when it was politically convenient to do so.  IMO, their public views on gay marriage, in support or against, reflected whatever would get them the most votes at the time.

I don't agree with Scheer at all on the matter, but at least he doesn't fake it for votes.

You can wait quite late so as to enjoy the freefall. Basically when the vision of the grass etc. starts to become clearly visible, it's time.

LOL i'm not gay bashing, I'm Singh bashing.  I have multiple gay guy friends who wear shirts like that. I don't have straight friends who wear shirts like that every time they hang out with gay people so they can look like they fit in.  It's weird.
It's a fine line, ridiculing someone for looking gay.

But let's face it, Scheer should be at one of these parades at the very least.  He could wear a red shirt as i assume tomatoes would be thrown at him.

Gawd, he'd look horrible in tomato red.

c'mon Andy, you can't run from your homophobia... sure, your so obvious refusal to attend Pride Parades is front&center... but are you still against same-sex couples marrying - still weakSauce?

in this linked video, Scheer is talking about dog legs and tails - can someone translate this... what does he mean? Anyone, anyone... anyone?

Well that was amusing.

Ralph Goodale, the guy who posted this SQUIRREL!!!! look over here and stop talking about Lav-Scam video, also voted against Gay Marriage. HOMOPHOBE!!!!

A lot of people believed that Marriage is a certain thing. Gay Civil Unions are fine, but they aren't marriage. People evolve, there was no real threat to Gay or Abortion rights in Canada. Bringing it up is just fear-mongering, which is all JT seems to have to run on right now.

There are people in the CPC that probably do think Gay Marriage rights should be rolled back, but they won't ever get elected or re-elected with policy positions like that.

Whether Scheer believes in it, or not, is less important than what he'll do as PM. It would nice if he came out in full support of Gay Marriage, but he's probably worried about losing support on the other end of his party to the PPC. It's politics.

You see the Republicans gearing up for a similar tactic in the 2020 election where Democrats will have to be counted on their views on the BDS movement because certain members of the party are for it.

How the hell did this inarticulate, backward-thinking bible-thumper become party leader? 
Because he represents the will of the Conservative party membership. That's who they are. That's who they want. That's who represents them the best.

When someone shows you who they are, believe them.

Scheer needs to address this but it was 15 years ago. Has no one here had their views change and evolve over time? I know mine have, including on the question of gay relationships.

Also, having a particular belief doesn’t automatically mean you want to restrict the rights of others. It’s OK to believe the institution of marriage is a union between a man and a woman, it is not OK to translate that belief into depriving someone of the same rights you enjoy.

This is the problem with this new virtue signalling Liberalism. If you've ever hold view that aren't considered Woke by today's standards, you're just as bad as you were then.

Joe Biden is being targeted for things he said and did in a far different time.

People's views evolve.

Christ. Stop reading conservative blogs. Virtue signalling isn't unique to "liberals." Conservatives practically live on virtue signalling. The biggest irony is just the damn phrase "virtue signalling" has come to be "HEY! LOOK AT ME! I HATE LIBERALS!" It's literally virtue signalling to use the phrase "virtue signalling" itself!

Do I seem like I read Conservative Blogs? And yes, as mentioned earlier, Conservatives do it too. I noted how American politicians are probably going to be forced to come down on one side, or the other, regarding Israeli BDS. Coming down on the pro-side will leave them open to be painted as Israel hating Anti-Semites.

And a Liberal, Bill Maher, is the one that's been highlighting this issue in my sphere of media attention the most.
