Man Alberta sure is trying hard to stop Gay Marriage |
|
Anyone hear about their plan to stop issuing Marriage licenses all together? That way only church services would be considered the way to be married as well as JOP could refuse based on personal beliefs.
Fucking sad.

People in Alberta are fine with it according to the polls.
Klein just loves the spotlight.

18. Today on the Bill Good show |
|
They were taking calls. It seemed like every homophobe in BC called up I was pissed. I don't think it represented what BC thinks.
I was in line to comment but it was taking to long so I hung up. But the guy on the other end asked me what I was gonna say when I told him he said "Exactly" and said to hang on.

We listen to him in the car on the weekends; every time he snaps "Get on with it!!" to a caller I laugh...

3. But Marriage Is A LEGAL Institution... |
|
... it's not just a religious one. Is this act equivalent to IMPOSING a religious ceremony on two heterosexual atheists who desire to be legally married and to enjoy all the benefits, priveleges and protections afforded to those who are legally married?
I see that Canada has its fair share of lunatic Christians as well.

what is this about JOP refusing to marry someone based on their personal beliefs? Isn't it part of their job?

I thought Vancouver was fairly urban.
How do you guys follow all the crap that happens in the U.S.? I'm so clueless. I live right next to Canada and hardly understand it at all.
I feel like a bonehead!

Actually, I think everyone in the United States makes fun of Houston. Except when we're making fun of Dallas.
No offense intended to Democrats living in Houston or Dallas! I didn't mean it, honest!

I live in Edmonton, which is solidly liberal; southern Alberta is more conservative. And when I mean "conservative", I mean center-right; other then the Ted Byfield cultists, there's very little of the fundie christian crap that's in the US...
