Bio

Not Supportable
CLC rating: pro-LGBT ideology; unknown on abortion
Rating Comments: On January 25, 2021, Councillor Gough voted in favour of a draconian Motion to draft a by-law that would ban conversion therapy in the City of Saskatoon. Such a ban would effectively prevent people with unwanted homoerotic and transsexualist fixations from receiving the therapeutic help they're seeking to overcome their unwanted condition. Previously, on April 20, 2020, this Councillor voted to support, in principle, the banning of conversion therapy in Saskatoon and, at that same meeting, voted in favour of sending an official letter of support from Saskatoon City Council to the Trudeau Liberal government for its federal Bill C-8 (later re-named C-6) that would enforce a totalitarian conversion therapy ban on all Canadians. The April 2020 votes thus paved the way for the January 2021 draft by-law Motion to easily pass at Saskatoon Council.
