Subject: RE: BS: Thank you, Canada (Same-Sex Marriage)
Guest Q - as per your " says who, besides you"

Well i'll tell you who, the majority of Canadians - thats who. You know there is really no need to have let this get this far, it's a legal, union, - legal-recognised with all the trimmings, there is no objection to that, the objection stems from the steps to redfine marriage, the government has no right to change the definition of an institution that pre-dates law and pre-dates governments. I am married - 35 years last Sunday , so don't try to tell me that what I have, married to the same woman who bore me two daughters and a son, or what my mother and father had, or what my grandfather and grandmother had or what every other married couple in Canada, U.s, or Europe has is the same as 2 men or 2 women forming a union, It is not, we have marriages, they have legal unions, period.
