— Kyle Freeman is an activist hero for counter-suing Canada Blood Services after lying about his sexual orientation

— Kylie Minogue is God:

A former editor of the late, lamented fab magazine, Scott has been writing for Xtra since 2007 on a variety of topics in news pieces, interviews, blogs, reviews and humour pieces.
