this has to be my favorite headline of all time

An evangelical Christian group is begging Queen Elizabeth to intercede and stop Canada's same-sex marriage bill from becoming law.

David Mainse, a televangelist who has opposed LGBT civil rights for nearly forty years through his 100 Huntley Street ministry, is leading the effort.

Mainse in 2003 turned the TV business over to his son to devote all of his efforts to defeating same-sex marriage legislation, but is still a regular on the program where he denounces gays.

1. LOL . . . there's something slightly hysterical about

begging a queen to stop gay marriage :evilgrin:

[terrya]

2. Has a certain irony, doesn't it?

PLEASE...as if THAT's ever going to happen :eyes:

I may have to email my Canadian boyfriend this story...he'll get a kick out of it.

These homophobe nutcases will do just about anything...

[davidinalameda]

3. tell him that I want a Canadian boyfriend as well

I need to get the hell out of this country

[terrya]

6. I'll ask him.

Really...I know what you mean. Especially since it will be at least 30 years to get down here what they will have in a few weeks (not official until the same-sex marriage legislation passes the Canadian Senate, but that's just a formality)

15. Get in line!

Sheesh. Girlfriend thinks she's Paris Hilton or something...

12. Gays can get married here now

My province has had it for 2 years now. The rest have come on board slowly...but we had a couple of hold-outs so this will make it legal everywhere.

4. I know there will be MANY a queen in Buckingham Palace

that will be 'not amused' should Lizzy bow to the pressure. If I were her, I'd think twice... She's just one queen--and their nails are sharper!

9. The Queen will probably be thinking what all the fuss is about with

people trying to ban jolly marraiges.

5. "Put your royal foot down, Queen!"

You're right. That is some headline.

What's a queen to do?

[tocqueville]

7. and she said "Honi soit qui mal y pense"

'Evil, (or shamed) be he that that thinks evil of it'

10. loser

personally, i just love the fact that he's dedicating his entire ministry to a losing cause. way to spin your wheels, man.

[donco6]

11. Ha! OK, that's just too ironic

"And the queen snapped her boa and said, `Off with your head, little man!'"

[ClusterFreak]

13. David Mainse is kind of Canada's answer to Pat Robertson.....

...only without the political clout. (or the half-crazed, squinting eyes and chortling laugh)

Not to worry. As far as I know Lizzie has never, EVER, in her five decade reign as Queen of Canada, attempted to block or overturn any legislation passed by the Canadian parliament.

She's not about to start now.

14. begging a Queen to do something? Anything?

That must've seen more fireworks than July 4. Everyone knows to motivate a queen, Dolce & Gabanna has to be involved. And for God's sake, bring your Platinum Visa. The bitch is on a tear...
