Canadian Court Approves Same-Sex Marriage

1 hour, 20 minutes ago

Add to My Yahoo! Top Stories - AP

By BETH DUFF-BROWN, Associated Press Writer

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.

As long as the majority of gay couples will adopt and raise kids, I support this.

Actually, it's not "officially legal" yet. All the Supreme Court has stated is that if the Federal Government were to pass a law to this effect, it would be constitutional. The legislation still has to be introduced and passed by the House of Commons.

Yes you are correct...but that's pretty much a done deal
Just a matter of time, although I guess I did name it wrong

There's going to be some interesting fall out from this though, particularly with some cabinet ministers. For example, the MP from my home town of Thunder Bay (Joe Commuzzi) is a junior cabinet minister that is strongly opposed to same sex marriage. Parliamentary tradition however, suggests that all cabinet members must collectively support any legislation that the government puts forward, and if they are not comfortable doing so, they must resign. Given the current minority government, I highly doubt Martin will allow some of his cabinet ministers to abstain from voting, so in this case, Mr. Commuzzi will either have to support the bill or have little choice but to resign from cabinet. Apparently there are a few others in cabinet in a similar position.

Who cares if they raise kids?

Raising kids is not a requirement for a healthy relationship...

It is great to live in a country that respects personal choice and freedom and chooses to be inclusive in respect to such.
