Same Sex Legislation

This morning on CBC I heard that the American Christian Organization, 'Focus on the Family' has a branch here in Canada. That the Americans are praying and sending money and support for their Canadian brothers. This is all very warm and fuzzy.
But this group is vehemently against Gay Marriage. They say that you should embrace marriage: as a covenant relationship between a man and a woman.

They even have Feb 13th marked off as Covenant Marriage Sunday. They also say that the; Heart of Marriage: a selfless, sacrificial love that only God can give.

God can't give love to homosexuals?! Is that what you people think?

My point is. . . all this talk about selfless, giving, UNDISCRIMINATING love, is complete hogwash. If you people really believed that, you would understand that 'gay people' or 'foreign people' or 'those people' can feel love too. It's human isn't it? Are you saying that by some strange function of the 'dis-ease' of homosexuality, they can't feel love?
So they're not human and don't have a right to the things that everyone else has?

This is preposterous arrogance and ignorance at it's worst, but I would expect no less from the same right wing imbeciles who brought 'Freedom to Iraq' and support Harper or Bush.

They are pushing society to the brink of a social and cultural armageddon. We are headed back to the dark ages, if we let them persist. Live how you want to live. Do not impose your way on the rest of us. If the Christian right has a right to live they way they want to, then so does the rest of the world.

Yesterday, the Government of Canada introduced legislation to extend civil marriage to same sex couples.
Canada will show the world that it supports it's citizen's human rights.
