Maurice Richard (politician)
Maurice Richard (born September 22, 1946) is a politician in the Canadian province of Quebec. He was a Liberal member of the National Assembly of Quebec from 1985 to 1994 and was the mayor of Bécancour, a position to which he was first elected in 1976.
==Early life and career==
Richard was born in Sainte-Angèle-de-Laval, Quebec and received his early education there and in Nicolet. He attained certification from the Institut national des viandes in 1973 and later operated a food market in Bécancour. He has also been an artist and painter since 1976.
Richard was a councillor in Bécancour from 1971 to 1976 and first served as the town's mayor from 1976 to 1985. He was interviewed by the ''Globe and Mail'' in 1983 as part of a feature piece on the community's industrial projects; in the course of the interview, he highlighted Bécancour's port on the St. Lawrence River, its efficient road and rail system, and its low-cost electricity.〔Victor Malarek, "Another decade, another promise: Hard-luck town ponders prosperity," ''Globe and Mail'', 6 August 1983, 12.〕
Richard came out as gay in the 1970s. His sexual identity became an issue when he ran for provincial office in 1985 but did not hurt his standing with the electorate.〔Hubert Bauch, "Sexual preference the issue as candidates clash on radio," ''Montreal Gazette'', 28 November 1995, A5.〕 In a 2011 interview, he said, "Les gens ne sont pas réticents à élire des homosexuels. () L’homophobie existe bien sûr dans certains milieux, mais nous sommes reconnus comme une société progressiste."("People are not reluctant to elect homosexuals.() Homophobia is of course in some circles, but we are recognized as a progressive society.")〔(Frédéric Lacroix-Couture, "Homosexualité et politique : Les gais au pouvoir" ), ''Nouvelles Hochelaga-Maisonneuve'', 11 January 2011, accessed 14 May 2011.〕
