Elsie's Back
Vote Marriage Canada would like to overturn the decision to alter the traditional definition of marriage which has allowed same-sex couples to marry.
Elsie says that the reason George Bush doesn't want to do business with Canada is because same-sex marriage offends his moral sensibilities. Well I don't know about Bush but corporate America doesn't seem to have any problems doing business with us. Canada and the US are the world's largest bilateral trade partners. Two-way trade between us is approximately 2 billion dollars per day! All Elsie has to do is take a drive down Huron Church Road in Windsor to see that offended moral sensibilites or not, the US is still doing business with us.
See what I don't understand is how my marriage in any way diminishes anyone else's marriage. Look at us. We're happy. We have jobs. We pay taxes. We have children who have not grown up to be thieves, axe murderers or pedophiles. We watch Commander in Chief. We watch our cholesterol. We've got a mortgage and car payments. We like to BBQ even in the winter. How does us living our mundane life as a married couple take anything away from any other heterosexual married couple? Do straight people feel any less married because gay people can get married? If anyone can give me a rational and compelling reason to divorce Lise and return to “living in sin”, please let me know.

I cannot see how your marriage could offend anyone other than those so small minded as to think that their's is the only definition of love. You would think that a stable union of two people would be celebrated no matter who they were; instead small groups of those who would enforce their (lack) of vision rant and rail while the important issues they could be devoting time and energy to slide off the precipice. Education, energy, global warming...so many things that truly will affect generations are being ignored!

I couldn't agree with you more. I think the issue of whether or not mankind's existence on this planet will continue is a slightly more important focus than obsessing over other people's sexual orientation.
To put it bluntly, when we are choking to death on diesel fumes and have no more potable water, does it really matter who you sleep with?
Even beyond that; if you are with someone you love and care for; if you can find a moments happiness in this world that seems to be falling apart most times; if you are taking care of each other, not abusing or being abused mentally, physically or verbally by someone, then that's
the best this world has to offer and no one has the right to deny it to anyone else!
This nation was founded (among other things) on the idea of freedom of religion; this includes the freedom to choose or not choose any religion. We are constantly told in the media about the unfairness of the Muslims enforcing Sharia law on Christians and non-Muslims; how can they fail to see the equivalent here?
I love the succinctness with which you say things; a gift I sorely lack at times! Thank you for being you!

From the Christian perspective it does actually matter who you sleep with, but from the secular perspective no it does not. Do I care who you are sleeping with? Actually no, I don't know you from a can of paint. Part of being a Christian is that I have to submit my life to Christ and not look at a gay person's life and think about how abnormal it is, but look at each person I meet as a child of God so that is what I, and most Christians, try to do. God bless.
Dear anonymous,
Why would you feel compelled to come to me here and insult me? Do you consider it a Christian act to insult others or be the arbitor of what is normal and what is not?
It is fine if you do not agree with what I write here but there is no cause to be insulting. If you are indeed the Christian you claim to be, ostensibly you would strive to be more like Christ, who, as I recall, never insulted another person's life.
