Description

August 23 Vancouver Bert Price, the Social Credit incumbent in Vancouver-Burrard riding and a candidate in the August 30 provincial election, caused an uproar amongst gays and their supporters at an all-candidates meeting. Although Price said that he would help gays "as much as I can" to gain equal rights, he said that people who belong to gay liberation organizations are in a dangerous situation because "one day society will want to castrate the lot of you to stop you reproducing your kind."
