If Glen Murray can win in Winnipeg it is safe to say sexual orientation will play no role in Toronto elections. Winnipeg is a little more conservative than Toronto.

You can tell there is still issues with sexual orientation when people feel the need to use "gay" to define things like the title of this thread.

Like "Gay Pride" instead of unspecified "Pride"?

isn't Tory a 'mo too (albeit a closeted one)?

WTF is up with this rumour? You're the third person to mention it recently. Maybe it's true, but it sounds more like a slur from the wingnut wing of the PC party, a la "John-McCain-has-an-out-of-wedlock-black-baby" push polling in the Republican primaries of 2000.

Does any male on UT have carnal knowledge of John Tory?

Maybe people are confusing him with John Baird?

There was a headline in one of the British papers many years ago about promiscuity on Hampstead Heath that read: "Gay Tories use Heath for sex" which made more than a few people assume it contained juicy revelations about former Tory Prime Minister Edward Heath - though it didn't.

I really can't imagine this would be an issue these days.

But who the heck is Glen Murray? Based on a sample-size of one, I'd say name recognition might be an issue!

That's what I thought (and maybe that's the case), but the first two people I heard it from confirm that they are fully aware of John Baird's not-so-closeted sexual orientation and that they were definitely thinking of Tory.

The fact that Smitherman and Murray are gay is such a non-issue as to be totally boring.

...now if one of them was a closet heterosexual that would be interesting.

When was the last time Toronto had a mayor with a mustache. A mustachoied candidate would really make for a dynamic race.

mustaches are evil, just like beards.

Crombie's immediate predecessor William Dennison.

In more recent times in Metro, there's Tonks in York, and Prue in East York...

You forgot Frances Nunziata in York, as well.

You made me laugh out loud.

Mississauga has had one for the past thirty years.
