Councillor Gary Sullivan
Saint John - NB
Electoral District: Councillor at Large
Bio
CLC rating: Pro-transgender ideology
Rating Comments: On January 27, 2020, Councillor Sullivan voted in favour of a draconian Motion to "curtail or eliminate" what is being disingenuously labelled "conversion therapy", throughout the City of Saint John. The Motion, which ultimately seeks to impose a formal by-law banning access to this beneficial therapy for thousands of citizens and their families, was instigated by recently-elected and self-described "youngest member of Common Council" David Hickey, in reaction to the story of his former high-school classmate's unsuccessful therapy treatments.
"Conversion therapy", in reality, is simply traditional talk therapy as professionally practiced by licensed psychologists to help same-sex attracted or gender-confused patients who VOLUNTARILY come to them seeking help to recover their heterosexual potential, or to overcome sexual confusion. This propaganda term of "conversion therapy" also ensnares pastoral guidance to help those with UNWANTED same-sex attraction to live chastely in accordance with their faith. Such a totalitarian ban would effectively prevent people with unwanted homoerotic fixations and transgender delusions from receiving the therapeutic help they're seeking to overcome their unwanted condition. At the same meeting, Councillor Sullivan also voted in favour of sending an official letter from Saint John Common Council to the provincial and federal governments, asking them to ban "conversion therapy" throughout their jurisdictions, thus enforcing a key LGBT ideological conquest on the entire nation, and particularly on vulnerable and impressionable children.

Here are the answers for the questionnaire as provided by Gary Sullivan on 2022.
| Question | Response |
|---|---|
| Do you consider yourself pro-life or pro-choice? | survey not sent |
| Do you acknowledge that human life begins at conception (fertilization)? | survey not sent |
| There has been a move in some municipal jurisdictions to pass bylaws which establish censorship zones, also called “bubble zones”, around abortion facilities. These unconstitutional censorship zones make it illegal to express peaceful pro-life speech, including silent prayer, on taxpayer-owned public sidewalks within the vicinity of abortion facilities and pharmacies which dispense abortion pills. If elected, would you vote to oppose such a censorship bylaw? | survey not sent |
| Organizations like Planned Parenthood (PP) routinely counsel women to have abortions, and increasingly, are involved in dispensing the chemical abortion pill. Given that abortion is a controversial practice that many taxpayers in your municipality find abhorrent, do you agree that PP and similar “sexual health agencies" should not receive taxpayer funds through the municipality? | survey not sent |
