NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Ok, my dual citizenship will now become singular citizenship. Germany is too Catholic to allow this in the near future.

Is Germany more catholic than Spain? I doubt it.

The ruling party is primarily Catholic though, it is the German Christian party. I can't believe Canada allowed this. Pah.

This might be good for the U.S. Some of our population might move up north.

Funny I was thinking the same thing. Not only that but chances are they would be mostly liberals.

Maybe, but Im against gay marriage so I could care less if such people left. Sounds like the day of the moderates will rise.

Now if only people down here would grow a spine, and allow Gays to get the legal benefits of Marriage somehow. I realize that full-on Marriage is offensive to religious people, but it's simply cruel to not allow any form of Legal Partnership for these people.

For the most part I agree with you here. But why should being gay have anything to do with it? Any people who wish to form of Legal Partnership should be able to gay or straight. Just dont call it marriage but what it is a Legal Partnership.

You are wrong.... The government in Germany is made up of a coalition between the SDP - social democrats, lefties etc - and the Green party - more to the left of the SDP. There might also be some other small parties I am missing out, but they are the two main parts of the government.

The Christian democrats are the opposition and they are odds on to win the election to be held fairly shortly, but don't count the SDP out yet.

As for Germany allowing gay marriage, I reckon it isn't that far off, over here in the UK we already have gay marriage in all but name and the vast, vast, vast majority of people supports it, it is the next logical step to simply legalise gay marriage. When it is legalised in Spain, as it will be shortly and here in the next few years.. Other countries won't be far behind.

About bloody time.

Back onto the thread... Good news, it always amazes me how well Canada ignores all the backward thinking coming from a majority of the people on the other side of their border. Well played Canada.
