The Gay and Lesbian flag of Canada

From cbc.ca on June 28, 2005..."The Liberals' controversial Bill C-38, titled Law on Civil Marriage, passes a final reading in the House of Commons, sailing through in a 158-133 vote. Supported by most members of the Liberal party, the Bloc Québécois and the NDP, the vote makes Canada the third country in the world, after the Netherlands and Belgium, to officially recognize same-sex marriage."

Wow! This is such fantastic news! At long last gays and lesbians in Canada are getting closer to sharing the rights of the "general population". We're a long way from 100 % acceptance but this is definately a big step in the right direction. I sure wish I could be back home right now to share in the joy and color of all the weddings that are going to be taking Canada by storm! A big "I love you and congrats" to all my gay and lesbian friends back home. Let the wedding planning begin!!!!

From cbc.ca on June 30, 2005..."Just two days after Canadian members of Parliament passed same-sex marriage legislation, Spanish lawmakers have voted to allow gays and lesbians to legally marry."

It seems to be catching! Right on!

Oh and a note to Ralph Klein...get your head out of your ass and your foot out of your mouth. Again.

...and on that note HAPPY CANADA DAY!!!!!
