Re: Support grows for lesbian couple attacked outside Oshawa elementary school, Nov. 12.
While violence is rarely an excuse in any situation anyone watching local news footage regarding the lesbian couple attacked at an Oshawa school this past week, must give pause.
The attacks displayed in front of children were disturbing but just as disconcerting was the continual profane and yes even, aggressively angry tirade displayed by one of the women on TV.
That did little to make me believe they are good parental role models either.
