OTTAWA, APRIL 12, 2002 (LSN.ca) – Most major papers and television and radio broadcasts across Canada trumpeted an unguarded comment made by a Canadian Alliance MP and ignored a major controversy about the Minister who was the subject of the unguarded remark. Canadian media emphasized that Ontario Alliance MP Cheryl Gallant had outraged the ‘gay’ community by saying “Ask your boyfriend” to Liberal Foreign Affairs Minister Bill Graham during a heated exchange in the House of Commons.
Graham, is a darling of the homosexual activist community having constantly supported pro-gay initiatives including homosexual marriage. However, last year a Toronto-based homosexual magazine called Fab published an interview with Lawrence Metherel, a former male prostitute, who claimed to have had a sexual relationship with the Graham, dating back to 1980 when Metherel was 15. While the Canadian media has all but ignored the story, it was picked up in the US publication Front Page Magazine, which repeated the allegations Feb 14 in a story entitled “Bill Graham: Canada’s Latest Shame.”
The mainstream press in Canada has touched on the issue in a secondhand fashion. The giant TorStar corporation’s Eye weekly Toronto paper has come out in defense of Graham. In the coverage however, Eye calls Metherel “an ex-boyfriend of Graham’s.”
