B.C. NDP MLA Spencer Chandra Herbert said Pink Shirt Day is a day on which to blame 'the left' for looking out for LGBTQ kids
Conservative Surrey-South MLA Brent Chapman defended a social media post for a Pink Shirt Day that has been criticized for not reflecting the spirit of the occasion.
But he also wanted to"remind people that there are still more children harassed every day for being too short, too tall, too fat, too skinny, wearing glasses, too slow, wearing the wrong style of clothes, too quiet, the wrong color of hair or, the colour of their skin.""I would like to take this day to remind the bullies of the Golden Rule," he said"There is a version of the Golden rule in every major religion.
"I hope he educates himself," Herbert said."Today is not a day to try and blame ‘the left’ for looking out for LGBTQ kids by talking about them today – it's day to stand up for those kids."
