I love them, I respect them," Wilkinson said on Wednesday, his first words after being asked if he supported Margaret Kunst, a Liberal candidate in the Fraser Valley who voted against a rainbow crosswalk during a recent Langley council meeting. Liberal candidate must agree there is no room for discrimination in British Columbia. On Wednesday it was NDP Vancouver-West End candidate Spencer Chandra Herbert, one of the first openly gay MLAs in B.C. At the same time, nobody forced Wilkinson to bring up his family members as part of his defence. And it's 2020, in a province where rainbow crosswalks are being approved in most big cities without major controversy.
