Well that's interesting!
In addition to being a staunch anti-abortionist, Borowski, a Manitoba New Democrat who later left that party, also published a series of anti-gay works in the late 1980s, including a document that called for "all known gays" to be quarantined from the rest of society until the AIDS epidemic had subsided, and a work entitled Child Moles­ta­tion and Homosexuality, the front page of which showed a middle-aged man at­tempt­ing to lure a child for sexual purposes. One of his main opponents was Glen Murray.
