Same-sex marriage about to become legal in Canada

[greenie_breizh]

While some people try to do their best to hide gay & lesbian themed books in libraries (because we all know ignorance is the best way to go, especially when educating a child), Canada's House of Commons has approved a bill who would legalize same-sex marriage.

Same-sex marriage is already legal in 8 of the 10 Canada provinces. For the bill to become a law, the Senate still has to vote on it, but since the Senate has a Liberal majority, there is no reason why it would be brought down there. Canada is thus becoming the 5th country to allow same-sex marriages (everybody seems to forget Danemark, which makes me confused, and I'm counting Spain as they're that close to passing the legislation themselves).

(see also CNN's article about the bill passing through the House)

Yup... and maybe in a hundred years when no child has gone crazy solely because his parents were gay, and that Canada's economy will not have collapsed because same-sex couples can declare to the world they love each other, maybe then the US will realize it's not so much of an issue!

(And I'm not losing hope that once Germany, Luxembourg, and maybe even Italy has gay marriage, France will also come to realize that since she's "the country of human rights", maybe it would be smart to accept marrying same-sex couples, too... -_- ;)
