Ugh.

Looks like the circus is coming back to town!

Halifax local celebrity (Canadian almost-Idol) Gary Beals is taking part in an anti-gay rally in Dartmouth, Nova Scotia, on March 5th -- the day before the March of Hearts on Parliament Hill in Ottawa! (www.marchofhearts.ca )

Aliant (the Atlantic Canada version of Bell) is currently running a half-dozen different television ads with Gary Beals teaching people how to use their cell phones. I just called Aliant to complain about using him in their commercials if he's going to be involved in this sort of anti-equality event.

I encourage other Atlantic Canadians (or everyone) to do the same if you agree. 1-800-222-7074 (you may need to be transferred if you don't have a cell phone, and they take your name and complaint and pass it on to a Manager).

I especially like that they're charging money for this event. More information from www.fotf.ca -- a horrid place, really.

"Marriage on the Rock Rally in Halifax

...I want to go protest, but it would just give me an ulcer.

Update:

I called the Dartmouth Sportsplex and bitched at their voicemail too! Man, I'm in a complaining mood today.

To be fair, I have no proof that he's gay, though I do agree he has several of the warning signs I read about. :-)

I may call his office number, but I'm getting too busy at work this afternoon, making it harder to be all ornery.
