People are telling Andrew Wilkinson to remove conversion therapy supporter Laurie Throness ahead of today’s 1pm candidate nomination deadline:

“He doesn’t disagree with conversion therapy ...he’s all for it, that’s why he shouldn’t be running. People don’t deserve a public platform that incites this kind of crap. I’ll be back on the fence if Wilkinson doesn’t drop him.” - Walter R. Johnstone

“Throness has held and promoted these views for years. It is about time that there is accountability for these views.” - Mike Olson

“I’m a non-partisan, political centrist. I will support good ideas from any party. I will never support a party that tolerates homophobia.” - Craig Cameron

“They weren’t dealt with to my satisfaction Mr Wilkinson. Mr Throness’ homophobia and misogyny is on full display and taints your party.” - Phyllis Fawcett

“Throness shouldn’t be in any party that tolerates his views (and no party should exist that would welcome his views). He should run as an independent & his homophobic & transphobic supporters can align behind HIS rhetoric.” - Jesse Miller

I think if anyone has a platform to ask BC Liberal candidates a question, it should be this one; "Do you think @Wilkinson4BC was correct in not removing @LaurieThroness from his cabinet for his homophobic views?” - Darin Graham

“I was also proud to sign this letter as a parent and as VP of Chilliwack #Metis. My prediction is that @bcliberals and @Wilkinson4BC are too gutless to remove this hateful homophobe. #bcpoli #BCelxn2020” - Peter Lang

“I was happy to sign this letter. There should be no place for homophobia in any party in BC. The BC Liberals actually started SOGI education, so I do not believe that Mr. Throness’s views reflect those of the party as a whole. We will see if Mr. Wilkinson stands for what’s right.” - Willow Reichelt, School Trustee in Chilliwack

“This is VANCOLOUR discussed this issue with Christy Clark, Richard Zussman, and most recently with Selina Robinson, who all agree that Throness' views on conversion therapy are unequivocally homophobic.” - Mo Amir, VANCOLOUR Podcast

“There is absolutely NO place for #transphobia or #homophobia in #bcpoli. We are calling on @bcliberals leader @Wilkinson4BC to remove @LaurieThroness as a #BCelxn2020 candidate. Politicians are elected to represent ALL citizens & #bcliberals need to prove that is their mandate.” - Carrie Bercic

“Sadly a permanent fixture in my riding - doing the right thing is never easy- remove him off the ballot @bcliberals” - Heather Attridge

“It’s 2020, we shouldn’t continue to condone discrimination in our communities or in #bcpoli” - Stacey Wakelin

“Absolutely. If there's no room for homophobia in the @bcliberals then there's no room for Laurie Throness. Waiting for action, @Wilkinson4BC... it's long overdue.” - Robin Stevenson
