As Canada's NDP leadership race heats up, Peggy Nash has brought her queer-positive politics to the forefront of the race. On Dec 11, Nash was the first of the candidates running to succeed Jack Layton to release a series of lesbian, gay, bisexual and trans priorities.
The MP for Parkdale-High Park and former labour negotiator spoke with Xtra's Katie Toth about youth, anti-gay bullying, immigration law and the shifting economy.
Katie Toth: Do you want to start by telling people who don't know what your queer mandate is and a couple points of action you have?
Peggy Nash: Yeah, it's a policy I put out in my leadership campaign in December. One of my endorsers is Randall Garrison, who is our LGBT critic for the NDP. He worked with us on this policy.
