I do wonder myself why the Canadians are so concerned with American politics. I know exactly where to live so there will be no neccesiity that I need to acquire in Canada of all places. If I travel to Alaska - I will use the Alaska Marine Highway - sorry - but my opinion of Canadians is much different in 2012 then it may have been in 1912. History has some effects, sorry. Canadians like sanspeur will always be our northern ally, but that does not mean that I have to become a liberal due to our historical similarities. I understand and respect Canadian history, I don't think that the fact that I do so, requires me to honor certain political criteria. Our historical differences also play a role, I think that American's experience with slavery does play a major part - that you should respect - however, not being an American - I don't expect you to understand.

LGBT rights in Canada - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Ignorance from the lack of education.

And also intolerance.

Even if you inherently believe that homosexuality is the most vile thing to ever grace society, any truly educated person would understand that these people still have their basic right and liberty to be gay and marry people of the same sex.

The only pervs I see here are the bigots that hate others for no reason at all.

Plenty of reasons to hate others.

So you prefer to be a bigot then...Who are you going to target once gays in the US gain the equal rights they deserve, and mark my words they will....I suppose us atheists will be the next in line for you hate filled Christians, right? I'm beginning to regret starting this thread, as I feel dirty and in need of a shower.

Ah, so you truly do hate. Good for you to be so forthcoming.

You see, I actually don't. Not the gays, not the blacks, not the Christians, not the Muslims, not one single group of people. In fact, I actually understand that people are different. I also understand that they have the same rights as anyone else. And that includes people who are as consumed by hate as you.

That's not "holier than thou," that's called empathy. You should try it out some day - it can do amazing things.

Don't you know? Atheists are even more hated in the US than muslims. The liberal media found that out a while ago. You ranked lowest on the totem pole.

You'll only feel the heat if you decide that you want some sort of equal right. Then you'll burn in hell, buddy.
