2005
Later in 2005, while participating in a discussion on the subject of personal versus public discrimination, Buors commented that he has had "no respect for homosexuals" since an adult attempted to molest him in a cinema when he was thirteen. While making no judgement on homosexual activities as such, he wrote that he did not want "such deviants in social circle". He later refused to apologize. Notwithstanding this, Buors has also argued that the state has no right to oversee or restrict consensual private activities between adults. Later in 2005, he defended openly gay Quebec politician André Boisclair against allegations that Boisclair's past cocaine use made him unfit for public office. Marc Emery has defended Buors against accusations of bigotry.
Buors is a frequent contributor to online discussion forums, and is a prolific writer of letters-to-the-editor. In 2005, he wrote against extraditing Marc Emery to the United States of America for conspiracy to sell cannabis seeds.
Buors has taken controversial stances on Mental Illness and Addictions. Buors has been quoted in online discussion forums, including the Winnipeg Free Press on whether addictions exist at all, despite overwhelming evidence to the contrary.
Buors announced his retirement from active political life on November 18, 2005, and accused Wikipedia of portraying him unfairly by reprinting his comments about homosexuals.
