Rev. Brent Hawkes Eulogy for Jack Layton 27-08-11

Thanks for putting this up. This is the first I've heard Brent's eulogy. I had read in Maclean's, I think, about his reference to Stephen and Laureen. Maclean's called it "A Jack moment". Subtle, for sure. Making the point gently and inclusively, but making it all the same.

you forgot to keep the part where the priest calls stephen harper on his hate for gay pride.

@Crack7Kills -- what does the Rev say re: gay pride to the PM? Was it direct or insinuated? I'm not sure I caught it myself.

[Crack7Kills]

@TheToronto300 where he asks stephen harper how his spouse is doing. (portraying gay love is equal to straight love)

[TheToronto300]

@Crack7Kills That point was too subtle. I missed that possible interpretation and assumed it was some nod to the PM just to show he was in the audience, kind of like a cue for photo-op. It seemed unrelated to me, but thanks for the different take on it.
