Thanks, Guest 5:22 pm.

The mother of Mark Bingham, one of the passengers who battled the terrorists for control of Flight 93, has made this point too. She's pretty sure nobody was asking about his sexual orientation while they were fighting for their lives. What matters about two Mounties (enough with the "puns" already, they are not really funny anymore) is are they good cops?

It's a good news story. There have always been gay cops. Since the law is what cops are there to uphold, our new marriage law is dragging the RCMP (never the most open-minded or creative organization) into the 21st century and that's a good thing.

I've heard this story before but am glad it is not on every newscast. The two fellas have the same rights as every other Canadian, no more or less, so it's no big deal really. I think that's what they're trying to say.
