Gay MP Mario Silva works to combat anti-Semitism

My second piece on the Xtra.ca national page arose from a press conference I attended this morning at the Charles Lynch Press Theatre in the Centre Block on Parliament Hill. It wasn't terribly well attended by media, and most of the media was there was of the more ethnic variety (Omni and various Jewish news outlets) - and the gay press, thanks of course to Mario Silva's involvement. Nevertheless, I kept it relevant to the readership, and ensured that the bigger picture was presented. I also took a couple of photos, hoping they would be included, but my editor chose not to include them, so here's one of them, just to give you a sense of the scene.
