Rex Murphy: ‘Straight pride’ is a tempest looking for a teapot to rest in

I see that a typical Twitter monsoon has developed over photographs of Pierre Poilievre and Danielle Smith, seen in separate pictures from the Calgary Stampede, with a gentleman wearing a T-shirt with “Straight Pride” on the front.

Both quickly dissociated themselves from the sentiment of shirt’s slogan, though I do not know why, except perhaps because of a very unfortunate — to use a kind term — determination on both their parts to avoid at all costs what most of the media and all the advocates select as hot “cultural” issues.
