Canada to pass same sex legislation 8:00 PM ET

[Redleg]

It is about marriage and who gets the right to it.

The wife is 24 too btw.

Marriage is not a right - its a priveledge because you have to ask the person you want to marry - if they want to marry you. And they can always refuse.

I did not have the right to marry my wife - I got the priveledge to marry her because she consented to the union, and then because we wanted the license from the state we had to meet the conditions established by society to be married.

As for Canada - that they went through the legislative process to change their laws regarding the institution of marriage is the way a democracy is suppose to work. While I might not agree with the concept of same-sex marriage - if the desire of the society is to allow such a thing and the democratic process is followed there is absolutely nothing wrong with changing the laws to meet the changing conditions of society.
