Recent developments

I have removed an entire paragraph that is based on a supposed quote about "Sexual Deviancy". The underlying quote for this is from an politically charged NDP press release, released in the middle of a poltically charged debate - and as noted in the paragraph removed Emmanuel disputes ever having said this.

In the absence of a reputable source for a disputed quote, and when the source of the quote denies he ever said it, it seems unfair and libelous to continue to post the smear in Wikipedia. The other citiations here, that repeat that smear, are similarly only valid if the original quote is valid, which has not been proven.

If the Wikipedia project is to succeed it must not be used by activists to smear people. It appears that in the case of Mr. Emmanuel the opposite has occurred and his bio as posted appears to be written by activists focused on their issues, and it is not a fair representation of his career.

Fair representation in an encyclopedia is not to change "opposition to same-sex marriage", which is accurate and neutral wording, to "championing traditional marriage". I saw the source for "sexual deviants". That was Mr. Emmanuel's own writing. If Mr. Emmanuel feels the quotes have been taken out of context, please give them context here. If sources are disputed, I believe you would argue to have them removed completely, as opposed to arguing they are only no good as sources for negative information. Lastly, when using terms like "libel" in edit summaries and "libelous" here, it is important to fully understand the definition of that legal term. If you are inclined to suggest this may become a legal matter, you should first read WP:LEGAL. Lara 16:52, 6 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
