Councillor Krista Balsom
Wood Buffalo (Fort McMurray), AB
Electoral District: Ward 1
Bio
CLC rating: Pro-transgender ideology
Rating Comments: On January 14, 2020, Councillor Balsom voted to pass a reckless and draconain by-law that bans all forms of counseling that radical LGBT activists disingenuously define as "conversion therapy". The ban is likely to apply to all corporations, churches and non-profit associations within the Wood Buffalo Regional Municipality (including Fort McMurray). This totalitarian ban now makes it illegal for people who experience unwanted gender identity confusion or same-sex attraction from being able to procure either clinical psychotherapy or spirtual counseling to overcome their unwanted condition or to leave the transsexual/gay lifestyle.
Balsom was a key propoent of the ban in moving and seconding the by-law at Council.
