Ottawa sets date for LGBTQ apology, but compensation not yet settled

 

Advocates for people criminally charged or fired from their government job simply because they were gay are celebrating news that, on Nov. 28, Justin Trudeau will deliver a historic apology in the House for their mistreatment.

 

"I never thought I'd live to see the day," said Douglas Elliott, the lawyer who led a class-action lawsuit on behalf of those who lost their jobs. Mr. Elliott has been advocating for the rights of sexual minorities since the 1970s.

 

But, he added that there is still no agreement in principle on a financial settlement, even though the government has sent out invitations to people who were victims of the purge to come to Ottawa, and Mr. Trudeau has confirmed the date.

At what point does ardently pursuing a woman become stalking or inappropriate? There is an old expression... "A faint heart never won a lady"  Being timid doesn't work, so be bold. So what's the cut off? Is she telling you to stop because she is coy or shy... or does she really mean "fuck off I'll sue you for harassment"  ?  and then there's a woman pursuing a man. Or same sex. Are we doomed to die out as a race because we fail to make the connection so we can breed?

From the 1980s until now we men were told the victim defines what is and what is not sexual harassment. Are we changing that long accepted definition?

Report: Rep. Conyers settled complaint over sexual conduct

 

WASHINGTON — Michigan Rep. John Conyers settled a complaint in 2015 from a woman who alleged she was fired from his Washington staff because she rejected his sexual advances, BuzzFeed News reported Monday.

 

The website reported that Conyers’ office paid the woman over $27,000 to settle the complaint under a confidentiality agreement.

 

BuzzFeed also published affidavits from former staff members who said they had witnessed Conyers touching female staffers inappropriately —rubbing their legs and backs — or requesting sexual favors. One former staffer said one of her duties was “to keep a list of women that I assumed he was having affairs with and call them at his request and, if necessary, have them flown in using Congressional resources.”

 

BuzzFeed said it received the documents from right-wing activist Mike Cernovich, but independently confirmed their authenticity. Cernovich said he gave the documents to BuzzFeed News because Democrats would “try to discredit the story by attacking the messenger” if he published them himself.
