Well now I feel like an idiot for breaking my first rule of posting on the Train. First rule of posting on the Train: don't post on the Train, but if you feel like you really have to, don't out someone. LOL! Seriously though, should I delete my post?

No point now, since it's been quoted. I don't think anyone really gives a shit if he's gay or not anyhow, though this day and age, and in Canada, it seems pretty weird for him to be in the closet, if that is indeed true, and I don't have trouble believing it. How or why would you have this information though, if he is for some reason hiding it from the public? Well, anyway, here he is talking about LGBT issues and how its dealt with in schools, briefly. Hopefully he decides he can come out soon, because he obviously can't keep it secret for long.

Good for him, it's a departure from what Rob and Doug's response would have been. I hope he flips the script on the whole Ford political legacy. If so, Ford Nation may not like it.

As to how I came about my info... second hand info obviously, and all I can or should say is that it comes from someone close to the Family. My reason for posting was a knee jerk reaction to the "Ford Nation alive and well" post. Knee jerk because I don't think MF shares all the same values as Ford Nation. I'm sort of disappointed with myself because I had all sorts of inside info during Rob Fords time as Mayor, and It all turned out to be true, but I managed to keep my mouth shut.

He clearly doesn't. He's been known to criticize some of his family's views.... which is a good thing. "Ford Nation" is an embarrassing Canadian joke. Anyone who would want to dedicate himself to riding that train would automatically have to be an asshole.

Inside info's different from what I honestly feared: that his speech impediment (or whatever the pc term is) was being childishly made fun of (thankfully not).

As I told someone in discussing this, (if true) it's somewhat a point of pride that this is how I found out about this (international Internet message board), since it's been a non-issue locally. Because most in this city would agree (I hope), who cares?

And PJSoul, I hope I'm not an asshole, even though I happily ride the Ford train, lol.

I meant riding the political train, i.e. any politician who rides that train. I have no idea if you're an asshole, but I don't have anything good to say about you being a happy member of Ford Nation.

You're right. I don't know how anyone at all whatsoever could've not read it otherwise.
Especially since the late Ford was all about the train.

Lol, and I'm perfectly fine with that. Sorry, was being a smartass as much as anything with that, lol.

Why in death can people not leave rob ford alone. And who fucking cares about Michael Fords sexuality ... that's his business.

Why should we not talk about Rob Ford? Why do you feel this need to try and keep people from talking about him? He was a public figure and politician. We have a right to talk about him and his supporters until we're blue in the face if we want.
Yeah, we already established that nobody cares if he's gay. But it came up, and since some Ford Nation douchebags would supposedly have a problem with that, it does kind of matter, just like it would matter if, say, Trump came out of the closet.

^^^why the need to discuss and trash talk a human being that had since passed ... fords behaviour was addiction based. I'll approach rob ford with some empathy ... unfortunately he didn't live long enough after getting through rehab to see if he was a changed person.

I should be clear that the individual who provided the info was sharing an opinion. Michael Ford did not out himself to this person. I don't know if he is gay for sure, and I don't care if he is. Really the point I was making is that "Ford Nation" probably would care if he was gay, and that it was "Ford Nation" that elected him. Furthermore I imagine the Ford Family Closet wouldn't be the easiest to come out of. I wish him the best gay or not, and as I said I hope he flips the script and re-writes the Ford family political book.

He was a creep long before he was an addict. And why discuss politicians and their behaviour? Because we need to make sure we remember people like him so that we don't repeat mistakes, plus his family is still in politics. That's fine if you feel empathy for Ford, but I'll ask that you don't tell me that I shouldn't talk about it.

Thankfully your last comment puts us back to (in my opinion) "Who knows? Who cares?" Regarding Michael's sexuality, and I do agree with what you're saying to an extent. Rob's non-attendance at most Pride events is a matter of record, and casts a certain light (right or wrong) on these types of issues.

That said, my feeling is that enough time has passed that (both sides) a honest and open discussion should be possible regarding Rob and his life. I know up-thread I took serious exception with some of the things said about him, but that was literally in the first days after he'd died. It's been months now, and the only people who (I think) might have the right to be offended would be his family, and I'm guessing none of them are active members here, lol.

I didn't realize Rob Ford let you in his inner circle, especially someone like you who can't stand the guy. otherwise how do you know when his addiction issues surfaced, heck I doubt rob ford could have pinned down when he became addicted...could have been in high school...

Maybe their is an article or interview where he discusses when it became problematic ...

Talk away if you want...and in your case trash talk.
