I guess I have to quote since @WillBoumaBrant 's team has restricted who can reply...Interesting 3-part strategy of "I didn't personally *write* any articles," "My views are clear," and,"I have a gay kid!" Missing are a) an apology and b) a clear disavowal of the publication.

[Will Bouma @WillBoumaBrant]

I am a proud, loving, and supportive father to a daughter who is a member of the LGBTQ community - my views are clear, I support the rights of all of my constituents regardless of orientation. I had no involvement in writing these articles.

NEW: Ontario PC candidate headed committee that published magazine encouraging kids to reject the ‘homosexual lifestyle’.

Will Bouma held senior roles with organization that claims ‘homosexuals’ will face God’s judgment on the ‘day of His wrath’.

@BenTPickles @Fatima_DeJesus7 @brianlilley @AndreaHorwath @HarveyBischof @BrantNDP @OntarioNDP Very funny, Ben, but as your mother I have to put my foot down. I don't care what @brianlilley said; you are not allowed to lead a hostile takeover of the @OntarioNDP until you've finished your homework AND emptied the dishwasher. #onpoli

Damnit @benjamin_t_pickles - just because gender norms are a social construct DOES NOT mean you get to steal my sweaters whenever you want!!!

Why hello there, first day of work imposter syndrome.... it's been a long time! https://t.co/SDG1TP5Pvm

We said goodbye to Olivia and Sakura, who eclosed today. I think Sakura really brings out Molly's red hair!

I suspect benjamin_t_pickles and guacamolly._.5 aren't going to be pleased when they realize I captured… https://t.co/WovJlHH3DG

That all went remarkably well considering it began with, "Hey Monkey, how confident would you feel about giving me an undercut from a video tutorial?"

We finally held a much-belated mass budgie funeral. RIP Chirpy (Sept 2016-Jan 2018), Rey (Apr 2017-Jan 2018), BB8 "The Beebs" (Apr 2017-Jan 2018), and Tweety (Nov 2019-Apr 2020). ❤🐦🐥 #budgiesofinstagram https://t.co/zdQlTii90Q
