Incidentally, I wouldn't say the US is one of the most homophobic countries in the world. Quite the opposite. There are numerous countries where homosexuality is still illegal (even punishable by death).

Yeah, you are right. I guess I shouldn't say one of the most...but it isn't the least by a long shot, either.

That's true. In many of the Middle Eastern countries, a same-sex relationship is a crime and I believe the only sentence is death. You can't get anymore homophobic than that. The US is far, far ahead of most places around the world - the government is not going to severely punish you because you're in a same-sex relationship or you're homosexual. Here in Canada, a couple of provinces have legalized g.ay marriage. Elton John even got married right here in Toronto because he couldn't do it anywhere else at the time!

Gay marriage is actually legal in the whole of Canada since 2005... Fourth country in the world to legalize it (and currently one of only 9). Yay Canada...

My comment was addressed to Adidasss to say he was correct in his assumption this person wouldn't last long.

So watch the abuse next time eh?

I hoped you would have gotten the reference, but I guess you haven't seen The Big Lebowski.

Connecticut legalized gay marriage... yay we're greaaaaaaat!

It is kind of sad that to have gay marriage legalized is considered good or forward thinking, when it should just be the norm.

Red: I marched in my high school band, my college band, and of course The Cadets D&BC. I've had flags hit my hand while I was playing. I had a flag smack me in the jaw, broke my jaw. I've tripped in potholes, and broken both ankles a couple of times each. I've broken both legs, at least twice. Both arms at least 4 times.

Blue: Um, sure? I don't see why not...

I would tend to agree. Everyone should have the opition to marry who they want, regardless of age, sex, or sexual orientation.

thanks, the extra H gave me a good laugh last night - i needed it haha

as for the accident i'm glad to hear it turned out to be over the course of years or decades as opposed to a major catastrophe but still that's harsher injuries than most hardcore TROO METUL types. both legs at least twice and the arms 4 times??? harsh

i'm not against g.ay marriage but the way this got through Parliament is one of the more embarrassing elements of Canadian politics from the last few years. they were pulling MPs who were getting cancer treatments from hospitals to come in to vote on the motion, extending Parliament into their summer break, forcing MPs to be in Parliament from 9am until 11pm, basically whatever was necessary to win regardless of other opinions and views. most people weren't against granting the same legal rights, the biggest issue was the use of the term marriage.

it ended up passing very late on a Friday night about 5 minutes before adjourning for the day when the then governing Liberals noticed that an opposition MP had taken off early.

yes it went through Parliament. technically. i wouldn't call it a victory though. it was all Paul Martin wanting to thumb his nose to his detractors and playing King of Canada for as long as he could, any contentious issue would have sufficed, it just happened to be g.ay marriage. his attitude and ego got him promptly ousted from office (to the point of almost destroying the Liberal party) the following spring. the sponsorship scandal didn't really help them either though.
