Indulges inname-calling

OTTAWA (CUP) — A Pro- gressive Conservative back- bencher is calling for ‘‘fairies’’ to be barred fromthe Royal Canadian Mounted Police, “the finest police in the world.”’

“Let us keep it that way,”’ Gordon Taylor told the House of Commons during question period Oct. 20. Taylor later said ‘‘even the gays don’t like (fairies), which he said were “very, very effeminate’.

Svend Robinson, the New Democrat MP who has long advocated full rights for gays and lesbians, called Taylor’s comments ‘‘the rantings of a fading dionsaur’’ and ‘‘homo- phobic nonsense.”’

“*The use of the word ‘fairy’ has the same purpose as the word ‘nigger’ or ‘wop’,’’ Robinson said. ‘‘What is dis- turbing is not so much the

language, but the attitudes underlying it, which are shared by too many of Mr. Taylor’s colleagues.”’

Taylor posed questions for the Commons to consider, in- cluding, ‘‘Can you feature a fairy RCMP constable trying

to arrest you with a powder puff?”’ x

Robinson said Taylor’s choice of words ‘‘perpetrate the worst stereotypes of gay men.’’ He _ is considering taking parliamentary action against Taylor.
