@5: Mercer has certainly been unequivocal about his gayness on CBC now: http://www.cbc.ca/thecurrent/episode/201…

@14: I just don't see the basis for your criticism. There's a difference between never having publicly admitted to being gay at all, and simply never mentioning it on his show.
If you want to find Mercer on the record saying he's gay, you need look no further than his It Gets Better video. Even in the Mercer Report clip from 2007 where he first discusses the subject of teen bullying it's clear from the way he jokes about the perks of being gay that is speaking from personal experience. I've thought it was understood he was gay for a long time now, is it really necessary to declare it outright now?

Wow, I'm Canadian and I had not heard of Cummins statement before. I'm especially surprised since he is a former federal Member of Parliament and our newspapers are usually to pounce on any lunatic statements from Conservatives since they're kept on a tight leash.
I have to correct you, however. Cummins is not the leader of the British Columbia Conservative Party, he is a candidate for its leadership.
The leadership will be decided on May 28, and even though the B.C. Conservatives are tiny and marginal force, we can hope a hateful asshole doesn't end up their leader.
