Canada May Be 3rd Nation to OK Gay Unions

By BETH DUFF-BROWN
TORONTO (AP) - Canada is set to become the third country to legalize gay marriage, with Parliament likely to pass landmark legislation Tuesday despite strong opposition from Conservatives and religious leaders.

Although gay marriage already is legal in seven provinces, the bill would grant all same-sex couples in Canada the same legal rights as those in traditional heterosexual unions. The Netherlands and Belgium already allow gay marriage.

The legislation, drafted by Prime Minister Paul Martin's minority government, needs at least 155 members of the House of Commons to gain a majority of the 308-seat House. While some of his Liberal lawmakers have said they will not back the legislation, enough allies in other parties have indicated they would support the bill when it comes to a vote.

Well, they have no choice. It is a human rights issue that many Canadians believe in. We are very liberal here. And Ontario and Quebec rule the vote ... so ... the mid-west is out, perhaps unlike the states?

If I walk down the street with my girlfriend holding hands and kissing her in urban or rural Ontario, the only comments I get are nice ones. It has been that way since 1985, as far as I know. The issue is about human rights, and NOT, as I heard on the news yesterday ... the "SANCTITY, of a god-approved union between a man and woman."

Whose god does not love all? Moreover, what makes marriage god-approved and human law exclusive? Anyone?

You know, I have never understood Christians that think gay/ lesbians will be 'punished' for their so called evil ways.
When I was attending Sunday School, God and Jesus were all forgiving of our 'sins and wickedness', (the Necian (sp) creed within the Anglican faith)

To cast judgement on something so personal, intimate so unrelated to others around you appauls me. To me it is the reverse, to be gay, lesbian, or bi you should be treated better because you love everyone, not just one sex! lol okay so that was a ha ha, but its true! lol

It is odd, in our area the member of parliment stated he is morally against same sex marriage. I dont think he was voted in for his personal beliefs but to relay the message from the people!

Quite frankly Id rather see two happily married men or women walking hand in hand together than two 15 year olds. Right now in the school my son will be going to there are 4 girls under 15 expecting this summer/ fall.

Same sex relationships will not distroy what marriage is, it can only support that marriage is important no matter what sex you are and who you share it with.
We have wayyyyyy too many issues that are far more important to spend all this time on rather than something that two concenting adults should be able to decide on their own!

Too many people do what they think is right instead of LISTENING to the people they represent. Our MP (Member of Parliment) never once asked for a municipal or county vote on yes or no to same sex marriages. It shouldn't be his view we rely on!

*Charley- Im not sure what part of Ontario you are from, but I dont know if it would be so easy in some areas, I dont think in our town you would be taunted or ridiculed, but you would definately get the 'LOOK'. I wish it wasnt the case but our town has alot of older people set in their ways, times should change so should oppinions!


JUST MY OPINION!

Again with the winter jokes.

It's not going to get really cold here until September at the earliest.

(Joking mismused)

Actually it's supposed to hit 31C (88 F) today in T.O. That I can handle. It's the smog that's the killer.

======================================================

88 there is a heat wave, huh? Well, at least it is to Mat.

Good luck with the smog, though.

mismused (and sorry to have abused you.)

Smog's easy to handle. Just cut it out of the atmosphere with a chain saw, squash it down in a trash compacter and presto! Bricks!

That's what we actually build our igloos out of, don't ya know?

The SANCTITY, the downright holiness of the cock thrust into the tuppy. These people make me tired.

Who would Jesus fuck?

There was a law passed here adding "sexual orientation" to the list of those factors illegal as a basis for discimination. 57,000 signatures appeared to force a referendum on the issue in just a matter of a fortnight or so. 57,000 people in a state with maybe a million people tops. All of them wanting to make it okay to kick gays out on the street by denying them housing, to refuse to sell food to them, to spit on them, to kill them. People are sick, man.

There's a school of thought, based on Scripture, that Jesus would fuck Saint John, the Divine.

Oooh.

You're gonna go to hell for that one, baby.

Almost forgot to say - Go, Canada, eh!

Why can't some of that common sense trickle down a few hundred miles?

*sigh*

==========================================================

Bed and breakfast at Charlie H's?

Or how about setting up a boarding house for those new ones now looking for a permanent place. Ah, lucky Canadians.

Whose God indeed!

Lucky/smart Canadians!

mismused

OH YES! I have a lesbian dungean(bedroom), a watersport area (bathroom) a forced exhibition area (balcony) and you wont sleep. So, Bed and sexfest?

 

[cantdog]

The Party. That's why.

Common sense is outlawed here. Amicus is still okay, though.

 

[CharleyH]

Oooh.

You're gonna go to hell for that one, baby.

No, it is sexy . Of course I am not christian.

You wicked, wicked woman!


Si delicieux? Oui!!! Grrrrr!

Our keepers of the sanctified dungeons here would have fun with you. Alas, not the good kind. Stay in Canada, and prepare the way a possible deluge. Perhaps Vermont may seceed, and join Canada; Massachusetts is too far away, and their governor too sanctimonious.

mismused

Kansas, however, being so far away, is quite fucked.

Or not, I suppose.

I understand that "the master loved him best" and that there were two men named John who were loved by God. He clearly had a lot of groupie status, but the women only get to wash his feet. Not my problem.

They say "abomination" about homosexuality, these fundies. But in Revelation, during the tour of Heaven, post-Christ, which John reports, he is told explicitly that, since Jesus had gone to the cross to redeem all sinners, "Nothing anymore shall be cursed." The forgiveness of all the formerly abominated things is clear as spring water after rain. But the so-called "fundamentalists" continue to curse things, saying it is in the name of Christ. I think very little about these people is Christian, let alone fundamentally Christian. Hate is pretty far removed from Jesus, either word or deed.

edited to add:The nothing is anymore accursed thing is in Revelation 22, near the river from the throne thing.

Sarahh is amazing. I've met a few Kansans, all nice folks, actually. I think SSS is not originally from the state, but from one much closer to Canada, by the way.

I'm a free individual. They'll have to cheat to get me, the bastards. I know how to duck, how to run, how to kill, how to live poor, and which way to go to find the border. I can make money anywhere. There are people in the Dominican Republic who would hide me indefinitely, if I could get there. And Litsters, too. Fuck 'em. I could travel from Litster to Litster, it'd be fun.

Kansas . . . The only thing it has going for it is sweetss, and a few others. Other than that, you're quite right the first time. How the heck did it get so bad there????

Poor girl. *Sigh!* Good luck.

Of course, the rest of our "used to be" fair country isn't faring much better.

to you, sweetie.

(And cantdog is quite correct. I'm originally from upper Michigan. )
