The Canadian parliament passed a bill last night which will lead to the eventual passing into law of the same sex marriage act. Contrary to the bleating of various religious zealots this law is not anti religion or anti family, it is designed to give equal rights to a minority group under the Charter of Rights.

Contrast this with John Ashcroft ordering the covering up of statuary in the Great Hall of the justice department because of nudity.

I'm proud to live in a progressive country.
