Canadian Parliament Votes Today

At around 8:00 PM Eastern time, the Canadian Parliament will vote on legalizing same-sex marriage throughout the entire nation.

Canada's minority Liberal government said it had to produce legislation permitting gay marriage after courts in eight of the country's 10 provinces ruled that a ban on same-sex marriages was unconstitutional because it violated Canada's charter on rights and freedoms.


Of course, the Conservative Party and some church groups are opposing the legislation, claiming that it's an "attack on christianity and organized religion." I find it ironic that they fail to see preventing same-sex marriage as an attack on individuals and families, and contrary to the teachings of Christ. Can you say H-Y-P-O-C-R-I-T-E?
