Your existence has been noted in passing

Canadian Press discovers that Jason Kenney ordered the removal of references to gay rights and same-sex marriage from the new citizenship guide.

When the new guide was released Nov. 12, Mr. Kenney brushed off a reporter’s question about why it lacked any reference to same-sex marriage. "We can’t mention every legal decision, every policy of the government of Canada," he said. "We try to be inclusive and include a summary. I can tell you that if you were to read the old book, you wouldn’t even know that there are gay and lesbian Canadians." He then noted the caption under Mr. Tewksbury’s photo.

That caption, appearing on page 26 of the guide, reads, "Mark Tewksbury, Olympic gold medallist and prominent activist for gay and lesbian Canadians."
