Bill C-38

[przed]

Tonight I watched on T.V. as a bunch of mostly middle-aged men and (far too few) women stood up as their names were called. And it was absolutely rivetting. Why? Because Bill C-38, the bill that legalizes same sex marriages in Canada at a federal level has just passed.

Let there be rejoicing!

(It still has to go through the Senate, but I'm hoping that's a mere formality at this point.)

We're not always as progressive as I'd like, but we're getting there.

Are you in one of the more liberal areas/provinces? I'm glad that I live in a "blue state" so I can claim no responsibility for our last Presidential election. I mean, Hilary Clinton, vilified enemy of conservatives, is my senator.

I'm right in downtown Toronto, home of one of the biggest Pride celebrations in the world, so yeah, you could say we're liberal. However, Toronto is surrounded by a big swath of suburbia that is as staunchly conservative as Toronto is liberal.

Mind you, even our Conservatives aren't a patch on your Republicans when it comes to right-wing nutiness, so it's all relative.
