Yay Canada!
So Canada has made me feel more proud to be Canadian as of 8:45pm yesterday when bill C-38 was passed. Marriages definition has been redefined as "the lawful union of two persons to the exclusion of all others."Its so nice to see Canada being the 3rd country in the world to accept same-sex marriages. Its so sad that some people are so insistant on discriminating and excluding gays from getting married. I see marriage as a union for love between two people...why does it have to be between a man and a woman? Love is love.
But anyways, it's passed the senate now, so we're home free pretty much. Though the conversatives have considered calling a referendum for it. I roll my eyes.
Sad because their reasons are so...idiotic. Take Joy Smith's for example...(The manitoba MP that broke down crying in the debate) saying she wanted to save marriage in its traditional form for her daughter. "If she decides one day to get married, she knows what that meaning will be - between a man and a woman...she will have that choice. It will not go away in the dark of night at the stroke of a pen."
Man...that just makes me have a long drawn out "oh my god" because...shit, you're just an idiot Joy Smith. Your daughter can have marriage in its traditional form all the same, unless of course she wants to marry a woman. Its "traditional" form will still be a man and a woman because that was the "tradition" but now its just inclusive to same-sex couples...bitch! I roll my eyes again.
Sad that I'd actually yell at these people who think like this...cause you know me and my non-yelling policy, but these people are too much for my tolerance.
