Canadian Court Approves Same-Sex Marriage

TORONTO - Canada's highest court said Thursday the government can redefine marriage to include same-sex couples, but it added that religious officials cannot be forced to perform unions against their beliefs.



The ruling by the court in Ottawa brings to the final stages a long, bitter fight over whether gays and lesbians should be allowed to marry in Canada.


Judges in six provinces and one territory have already overturned the traditional definition, allowing thousands of same-sex weddings.


Canada would join Belgium and the Netherlands in allowing gay marriage if the government acts to make it legal nationwide. To pass in the House of Commons, the legislation needs the approval of about 44 of the 95 Liberal backbench members of Parliament to obtain a 155-vote majority.


One top Liberal predicted the legislation should pass easily after its introduction, likely early next year. It already has the support of the 38-member Liberal cabinet and virtually all the 54 Bloc Quebecois and 19 New Democrat MPs.

Gay marriage should be legal everywhere. Everyone has a right to marry whoever they like, and it shouldn't depend on your sexual preference. Sure, we may not agree, but who are we to judge what people do or like.

It's like what George Carlin said about Gays in the military..

"I don't have a problem with Gays in the Military, hell, it's good because then there's MORE PUSSY FOR ME!"
