May 31, 2016 | 2:32 PM

EDMONTON – An Alberta Wildrose legislature member suspended for an inappropriate comment on social media about Ontario Premier Kathleen Wynne is back in the fold.

The Wildrose announced in a statement that Derek Fildebrandt has agreed to make changes to how he conducts himself on social media.

Fildebrandt was suspended late Friday night after he endorsed a comment on his Facebook page that mocked the sexuality of Wynne, who is openly gay.

Fildebrandt apologized for the comment.

He says he is not homophobic and will now hire a social media manager.
