Science doesn't confirm 'biological' component to being gay, Tory leadership hopeful says

"Whatever the cause of sexual orientation, which I still maintain is scientifically unclear. That is the position of science right now," Sloan said.

He also said that while he disagrees with Décarie's comments, they were "blown into a bigger situation than it needed to be" because "people missed the nuance." Solomon then asked Sloan if this means he supports conversion therapy, which parliamentarians are currently working to outlaw through legislation.

In an opinion piece for Macleans magazine, Peter Gajdics, who experienced conversation therapy in Canada in 1988, recounts the impact it had on him.

And cue the idiot

This guy should just suspend his bid and not wSte our time. Conservatives can do better.

As I always say no one can speak to or for the topic of being gay or gay in general except someone who is gay. Regardless of my environment growing up with was hockey, playing in the dirt and collecting worms and hanging out in construction sites and playing with cars and trucka

FakeNews

This is not a leader who will get votes from average Canadians

it is true the are no indicators of biology however environmental factors exist in a big way.

For goodness sake, literally CPC_HQ, get with the 2020 program! Who are you anyway DerekSloanCPC ? Canada does not need or want this type of leader.

YOU are not happening!

Oh ffs!!!!!!

He looks like a bottom

He is right, and is probably quoting the biggest study ever done that the results camebout last summer that states that there is no single gay gene it was a study of over 500,000 people. It continues to show more and more this due to nurture plus environment.

It also hasn't proven Idoiocy is genetic.

Science confirms Tory leadership bid ends in a whimper.

So he's a scientist? No, if he was he wouldn't have made such an asinine statement.

I thought it did.

Why are we still having this conversation?

good gawd stop making the stupid famous CTV

He’s right

The highest-profile advocates against abortion and the LGBTQ community tend to be Conservative fundamentalist Christian groups and other organizations which use a religious justification as their only rationale for the defense of their argument. Keep religion out of politics.

But they still want to march in the parade....ya’know, in ‘support’ of political agenda

CTV CANADA'S BIGGEST EMBARRASSMENT

What is the biological component?

I can’t 🤦‍♀️

hopeful of what ?

There is a 99% chance this man is closeted

Captain waterford wouldn't lie ...

Social conservatives will doom us to even more JT Years. Be gone. Or at least be quiet. The best thing these people can do for the party.

Bottom line, this so called issue does nothing for the economy, which is vital to each one of us! That is the 1 issue!

Bye felicia

Only idiots and those who masquerade as 'journalists' think the LGBTQ community cares more about personal opinions than serious policy

He is definitely on Grindr...

His Grindr profile doesn't say that, does it?

Is this one of those maddening “both sides” posts?

Not like he has a, um, prayer anyway.
