Taylor later said ‘‘even the gays don’t like (fairies), which he said were “very, very effeminate’. Svend Robinson, the New Democrat MP who has long advocated full rights for gays and lesbians, called Taylor’s comments ‘‘the rantings of a fading dionsaur’’ and ‘‘homo- phobic nonsense.”’ “*The use of the word ‘fairy’ has the same purpose as the word ‘nigger’ or ‘wop’,’’ Robinson said. ‘‘What is dis- turbing is not so much the language, but the attitudes underlying it, which are shared by too many of Mr. Taylor’s colleagues.”’ Taylor posed questions for the Commons to consider, in- cluding, ‘‘Can you feature a fairy RCMP constable trying to arrest you with a powder puff?”’ x Robinson said Taylor’s choice of words ‘‘perpetrate the worst stereotypes of gay men.’’ He _ is considering taking parliamentary action against Taylor.
