I just heard on the radio that Ernie Eves, the current Premier ( = Governor) of Ontario is quite peeved about this decision, claiming he will not give out marriage licenses.
A) Many have already been issued. B) He cannot do this until legislation is tabled with the notwithstanding clause. (special clause that must be added to laws that violate the Constitution Act) C) Issuing marriage licenses is a municipal matter. D) This is a federal law being challenged. E) It's up to the (federal) Justice Minister to decide to appeal. (Ultimately up to the Prime Minister). Hopefully we'll see some more developments on this soon. |

1) Acceptance of gender confusion. Leads to 2) Acceptance of bad things in general. Leads to 3) Acceptance of Muslim immigration. Leads to 4) Acceptance of Lots of Muslim immigration. Leads to 5) Destruction of society by Muslims. Is that more or less the argument? |

(yguy): If you don't think tolerance of cross-dressing, transsexualism and the like is evidence of gender confusion, there is no basis for communication on the issue.
(Fr Andrew): What does any of that have to do with gay marriage? I mean...do you honestly believe that one partner in (for instance) a male gay relationship wears a dress? Undergoes a sex change? What in the world are you talking about? |

Standback, folks; this man needs some help, STAT:

First, you're having difficulty distinguishing people when they do not follow you're stereotypical notions. Apparently, you believe that a persons gender is in part determined by what they wear or with whom they are married, a condition you call gender confusion. You can trust me on this, yguy, I'm a doctor; a person's gender is unaffected by what they wear or whom they marry, If that doesn't work for you, remember that this gender confusion thing is your problem, not someone else's, and that's something you're just going to have to work-on. Contrary to your prior assertions, your confusion about gender, though scary, does not threaten the survival of the nation, and just because your scared and confused is no justification for oppressing innocent people. Your other problem is that you are having difficulty distinguishing same-sex marriages, transexualism, and transvestitism, but don't worry; I may be of help for you here, too. Let's begin by reminding you that these three things are all very different. The first is a civil process founded in law, the second is a medical and surgical procedure, and the third is a fetish. They are not related; in deed, a person living in a free society could be part of one, two, all three, or none. That's the beauty of freedom. See your medical provider if symptoms persist... |
