REGINA Regina residents and local businesses are reacting with a show of support for LGBTQ2S+ people after a pastor’s message was called homophobic by some community members. On Sunday, Pastor Terry Murphy gave a sermon at Regina Victory Church that has since been condemned by many in the community. The sermon was livestreamed on Facebook. Murphy’s sermon compared members of the LGBTQ2S+ community to pedophiles and expressed the belief that sex should only occur “between a man and a woman.” Terry Van Mackelberg said he will be submitting a complaint to the Saskatchewan Human Rights Commission.

The COVID pandemic has left many people with a lot of time on their hands, and at least one man has put it to good use.
Keith Landry, 70, from Regina, says he has always loved writing but he never had the time to really immerse himself in his passion for it.
Since writing his first story almost two years ago, Landry has now published six true crime books. Five of them came out in 2020, during the pandemic.
“The first story I wrote was inspired by a story that I had heard many years ago that my grandfather told me when I was 10 years of age,” Landry said. “My grandfather was one of the first officers to go to a mass murder on an island in west Quebec called Allumette Island, he told me that story, what happened, and I remembered it so I thought I would put it on paper.”
