Wow did I ever underestimate the power of some people's ability to hate. There are actually some liberal party members BESIDES Pat O'Brien willing to bring down their OWN government in order to prevent the SSM bill from becoming law in this country. How much hate is THAT?
I am stunned that ANYONE could be so filled with fear and hate that they could actually prefer to see their government fall than allow other Canadians to enjoy life as they desire. It doesn't hurt ANYONE to allow this. No one.
No church has to perform a SSM. They don't even have to rent their halls to gays for the celebration of such a marriage. They are being given a free hand to discriminate based on their religion. So WHY are they still so determined to make everyone else live by their religious standards? Can't they see they are imposing their belief structure on other people. People who have a RIGHT to be treated equally under the law.
Marriage is a CIVIL ceremony NOT a religious one. You can get married in city hall WITHOUT a preacher but you CAN'T get married in a church without the sanction of the state, vise a vie a marriage licence. Getting married in a church only sanctifies the marriage in the eyes of your god whoever that may be it doesn't make it legal unless you have that little piece of paper from the government. There is no law that says you MUST get married in a church ... and this SSM bill specifically states that NO church will be forced to perform a marriage in opposition to it's beliefs. So what's the fucking problem here?
Paul Martin is right on this. The idiots opposing this are just that .... idiots, incapable of separating theiur own personal beliefs from what is right. This bill is right. It stops the discrimination on people who only want to live their lives free to marry whom they choose without interference by those who disagree with their lifechoice.
Don't approve of Same Sex Marriage? DON'T GET ONE but for gawds sake don't stop the people who DO want one. That's wrong. It's judging others by YOUR standards and that's just not fair, nor is it Canadian. I'd even go so far as saying it's not moral either. So get of your high horse and start representing ALL Canadians for a change and not just the 'straight ones'
