Alberta’s Danielle Smith says conservatives must embrace homosexual ‘couples’ as ‘nuclear families’

Alberta Premier Danielle Smith told Jordan Peterson in an interview that conservatives should ‘modernize’ their view of the ‘nuclear family’ to include homosexual pairings, and Peterson let her comments pass by.
(LifeSiteNews) — In a wide-ranging interview with Jordan Peterson, a prominent member of Canada’s Conservative Party, Alberta Premier Danielle Smith, insisted that conservatives should “modernize” their view of what the nuclear family looks like, including homosexuals “couples” seeking to obtain children.
Smith, who describes herself as a “conservative libertarian,” asserted that conservatives need to embrace “a broader view of the nuclear family.”
She noted that homosexuals “increasingly are wanting to have children” and claimed that there is “a growing gay conservative movement” that accepts the value of “monogamy” and “free enterprise.” However, the overwhelming majority of homosexuals accept “open” relationships and polygamy, as Smith failed to mention, and homosexual relationships are notorious for their short duration.

“Conservatives have a little bit of a difficult time in modernizing their view of what that nuclear family looks like, but I think the principles are the same,” she added.
Peterson didn’t flinch, and let Smith’s comments on homosexual parenting pass by, then dove back into the conversation when Smith turned to the topics of the bleak hopelessness of the left’s worldview and dangers of “transitioning” for gender-confused youth.
‘The conservative proclivity not to be too judgmental’
Earlier in their discussion, Peterson had noted that “there is a proclivity among conservatives not to be too judgmental with regard to alternative family forms — single mothers, divorced people, and all the variant forms that human intimate relationship might take — and there is a necessity for understanding and tolerance in that regard, but you said earlier that it’s vital for the conservatives … to not forget to bring forward what was vital in the past.”

However, what has been “vital” throughout modern civilization is mothers and fathers raising the children they create together. To do so with a missing mom or dad was always viewed as tragic for the children involved.
Peterson perhaps meant to imply homosexual pairings when he referred to “alternative family forms,” but he failed to mention homosexual “marriages” outright as being among those unable to “bring forward what was vital in the past.”
