Emo Township Mayor Harold McQuaker was fined $ 5,000 by Human Rights Tribunal of Ontario for refusing to pay a $ 10,000 fine.

Emo, Ontario , was hit with a fine for not approving a motion to approve Pride month .

Human rights tribunal says it has already garnished the mayor's bank account.

The Tribunal ’s Vice Chair Karen Dawson claimed “there was no flag for the other side of the coin for straight people’’ The ruling ignores McQuaker 's free speech and council's free vote.

It was an overreaction to a comment from a 76-year-old man in a town a long way from progressive municipalities.
