I was on the fence with this issue untill I saw a news report about how back in the 60's the christian right was fighting to ban interracial marriages in the name of the bible. I realized its just wrong to tell two people they can't get married, and im sure in the future this will be looked back upon as a something that should have happened so much sooner.
But I still have my doubts about gays/lesbians raising children. I know there are lots of straight couples who are terrible parents, and lots of gays/lesbians would be better parents then them. But my problem is it is basic nature for a child to be raised by a man and a woman. If you have two women, or two men raising a child I think its a screwy situation. But meh, hopefully time will show us that im wrong and it has no profound impact on children. In the end, I suppose all that really matters is the child has loving parents, regardless of their sex.
Congrats to any gays/lesbians who are reading this forum and live here in canada. I apologize to you that it took this long for you to have this fundamental right.
