Exclusive Brethren behind Canadian gay marriage ban campaign

Exclusive Brethren behind Canadian gay marriage ban campaign The Vancouver Sun has learned that the secretive religious sect known as the Exclusive Brethren is behind an aggressive yet anonymous direct-mail and advertising campaign against gay marriage that has triggered complaints in Parliament and in the media. The sect which shuns relationships with non-members and requires women to wear head scarves in public, organized and funded the campaign. The campaign's sponsors identify themselves in the anti-gay ads and mail-outs only as "concerned Canadian parents," or CCP, with a post office box address located in a Toronto convenience store. Their meeting rooms, pictured, have no windows.�
