Alberta election - Wild Rose party leader Danielle Smith backpedals from supporter blog entry
http://www.edmontonjournal.com/news/Smith+stands+candidate+anti+blog/6464580/story.htmlWildrose Leader Danielle Smith stood by a controversial Edmonton candidate Sunday, refusing to condemn a blog post decrying tolerance toward gays and lesbians.
Smith said her party accepts a wide range of views and has no plans to legislate on contentious moral issues.
In a June 2011 blog, Edmonton-South-West candidate Allan Hunsperger, a pastor with The House church in Tofield, referenced the Lady Gaga hit song Born this Way and said gay people can choose "to not live the way they were born."
