Well that's interesting!
In 2003, Irqittuq, a member of the first assembly of Nunavut, opposed the inclusion of equal protection for gays and lesbians under the new territory's proposed human rights legislation, saying that, "I do want the human rights act for Nunavut, but to recognize lesbian and gay rights, it’s absolutely unfathomable," arguing, "In the South, people are free to do as they wish; for Inuit, I would outright refuse such a provision in the human rights act. It’s not our lifestyle."
