A spokesman for Pierre Poilievre said Mondaythe federal Conservative leader does not agree with the message of “straight pride,” after he was photographed with a man wearing a T-shirt bearing those words.
Sebastian Skamski said Poilievre had been posing with “hundreds of people” at the Calgary Stampede on Saturday when he was photographed with an individual “without reading what was written on his shirt.”
It said, “Thank a straight person today for your existence,” in black capital letters, with “straight pride” written at the bottom. Poilievre said in June that he saw Pride Month as celebrating “freedom from bigotry” and the right to be viewed as an individual instead of being lumped together in a group identity.
Alberta Premier Danielle Smith did, too, and her office provided a similar response when a photo of the premier with the same individual began circulating online.
