The charge: Cavorting with transvestites without permission

Intriguing new revelation from the Star’s account.

A Conservative source said it was the media coverage that prompted the backlash against Ablonczy. "The TV shots of her with transvestites inflamed some people," the source said.

Another Tory insider agreed the sight of drag queens with the minister caused Ablonczy "big-time" trouble because she had not cleared her attendance at the event with Harper’s office.
