	Roseanne Skoke - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Roseanne Skoke (born September 11, 1954 in New Glasgow, Nova Scotia, Canada) was a Liberal MP for the riding of Central Nova from 1993 to 1997.
		Skoke was elected in the gigantic Liberal landslide of that year as the party swept Nova Scotia and won all but one seat in the Maritimes.
		Due to redistribution prior to the 1997 federal election, Skoke was forced to run against fellow Liberal MP Francis LeBlanc for the Liberal nomination in her riding, which was renamed Pictou—Antigonish—Guysborough.

		Skoke also said that: * She would never award custody of a child to a gay or lesbian parent; * Gays and lesbians don't deserve any protection against discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation; * Homosexuality is in the same class as paedophilia and bestiality.
		Roseanne Skoke ought to be called to account for what she has said.
		Write to Prime Minister Jean Chretien and tell him that if Roseanne Skoke does not retract her statements immediately, she should be expelled from the Liberal Caucus.

		She is a BIGOT, and Roseanne you can sue me. She is this barbaric politician in Nova Scotia running for Liberal leadership to become the next premier of our province.
		Well Roseanne, you are a bigot, go to hell and don't come back because that's where you're headed.
		Roseanne, I'm not looking to be special and perfect like you, I'm trying to be equal.

		But when Liberal MPs Roseanne Skoke, Tom Wappel and others denounced homosexuals as abnormal, immoral and worse, they were by comparison indulged as mild eccentrics.
		So the Reform Party, the party of caucus freedom, expelled two of its members for speaking their mind on the gay-rights bill, while the Liberals, the party of caucus discipline, allowed 28 of their MPs to vote against the bill with impunity.
		Skoke, on the other hand, presumably favours anti- discrimination laws in general.

		But she didn't count on a visible queer voting block in Nova Scotia, and was defeated by a 10% margin.
		But Skoke, whose ultraconservative religious views have been a source of dissension within the Liberal Party, is utterly undaunted.
		She told LeBlanc he is "on his own," meaning she will do absolutely nothing to help him get elected, and went on to say she might even run against him as an independent.

	Daimnation!: Larry Spencer's gift to the Liberals
		The Canadian Alliance is not the only party with members who think this way - several Liberal MPs have similarly retrograde views, and Joe Clark had no problem sharing a caucus with Elsie "Shut up about it" Wayne for years.
		Let's not forget former Liberal MP Roseanne Skoke, who made spectacularly offensive anti-gay comments in the mid-1990s, with nary a peep of criticism from Jean Chretien (who just mumbled about how "she has a right to her opinion").
		But the media is ready to pounce every time an Alliance member says something so spectacularly offensive - and, unfortunately, there seems to be no shortage of CA members stupid enough to take the bait.

		Citizens Centre for Freedom and Democracy Weekly Commentary “Just Between Us” April 12, 2004 TITLE: If criticism equals 'hatred', as Svend Robinson always insists, his Bill C-250 will suppress free speech In his long and colorful career, Burnaby MP Svend Robinson has taken full advantage of his right of free speech.
		Throughout his 25-year crusade for gay rights he has liberally branded his opponents personally as "hate-mongers" and "homophobes." He once managed to call Liberal MP Roseanne Skoke hateful four times in three short sentences.
		None of his opponents tried to suppress his right of free speech.

	Tom Wappel letter on March of Women - Aug 15, 2000
		I believe that by participating, the CWL lends legitimacy to an organization calling for abortion as a right and to equating homosexuality as the equivalent of heterosexuality.
		Indeed, while my former colleague, Roseanne Skoke, was offered up as a sacrifice to those whose views are decidedly contrary to the Catholic Catechism, the CWL nationally was notably silent.
		Where was the CWL when a Catholic woman, being publicly pilloried for acting on her Catholic beliefs, called for help?

		It happened right there, on the floor of the House of Commons.

		Ménard never actually said he was gay, but by the time he was done berating Skoke everyone had pretty much got the message.

		Few of them have seen the horrific consequences of back-alley, illegal abortions.
		Back in the House of Commons, we have a Liberal (!?!) MP, Roseanne Skoke, claiming that homosexuality is "inhuman" and that extending basic human rights to lesbians and gays would make Canada, "a pagan nation." This same MP would rather her teenage daughter got pregnant or caught AIDS than used condoms when engaging in (immoral?
		Bill 167, which would have granted homosexuals only the same rights now enjoyed by heterosexuals, was defeated.
