Lawyer Who Advocated For Anti-Gay Groups Appointed To Ont. Court [by SH]

by 365Gay.com Newscenter Staff

(Ottawa) Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper has appointed a lawyer who represented two anti-gay groups in the legal battle against same-sex marriage to the Ontario Superior Court bench for the Toronto region.

David Brown's appointment is effective immediately. Under Canadian law the Prime Minister can appoint judges without parliamentary review.

As a lawyer Brown has represented conservative Christian groups in a number of legal cases. He acted for Focus on the Family (Canada) and REAL Women of Canada in an attempted court intervention during the legal battle over same-sex marriage.

He also has acted for other conservative groups fighting abortion rights.
