But gay marriage is perfectly legal in Canada, and our society has only benefitted from the tolerance we have for same sex couples, who may now settle (and they do) in contented families, having said their vows before the world instead of in secret.

The only plausible reason for insisting on denying marriage to same sex couples is a fierce desire to force one's personal religious views on those who do not believe in the same religious views. Should the Muslims who form a substantial part of our population force me to wear the hijab?

And why would a non member come to a music board to flaunt his intolerant value system?
