Bill C-38 passes (AKA the gay marriage bill)

[manker]

i don't really care too much about the marriage thingy, although marriage is religious and as far as i know religion never intended to man+man or woman+woman.

i do however believe kids should have a mother and a father, so i'm against the adoption thingy

It will only be a civil ceremony, the church won't sanction it - not the larger ones anyway, to afford the gay couple the same rights as mixed gender married couples.

Well since I don't agree with the homosexual lifestyle then I certainly don't agree with them getting married.

I think that influence is a motherfucker.

I don't think people are born gay. I think people's preferences in anything are shaped through a myriad of stimuli or lack thereof with no rhyme or reason as to a result. I view sexuality in the same boat.

However, influences cannot and are not ignored. As something is more accepted it is more embraced and often mimicked.

I have seen this on the lesbian side of the fence.

Lesbian fencing rocks! What channel is that on?

its not about canada or where i live, its just wrong and a new step to more of these "God" prohibited works, they 1st allowed lesbian mariges then gay maraige next they will allow incest marriges, its just seems we'r going back to where we were before.

Stupid fundie.

I dont see whats wrong with it. If they love each other why not.

Politics and Religion should not mix, because you cant base a law on catholic values when there are jews, budists and muslims that live in your country. Its not fair.

Its not about being against religion, why? because religion is gehy.

Im sure its nice to have something to look foward to when you die, but untill then go read some science books.

sorry, just been a long week.

Oh and incest marriages will never happen because its just wrong. I dont care what anyone says, you dont marry in your family.

Do you mean catholic or Catholic when you say this.

The word catholic means liberal, of broad scope, so catholic values would appear to be exactly appropriate in this situation.

I don't really get your point, you seem to be contradicting yourself.

We're doing the same here, I believe it will be later this year.

Good idea says I.

Aren't you already married

Well, it looks like this topic picked up rather nicely.

For here, anyway, the onus of religious versus civil is being left to the individual churches to decide. I know of a number of churches that are already performing same-sex marriages, and I know of a number that refuse to.

JPaul's just waiting for that special someone.

This is another thing. If you are a church of a religion that disagrees with homoexuality, then how the hell does the church just all of sudden change.

Phase 1
Deterioration of the church.
