Canada approves same-sex marriage

Oh now we've gone and done it. Scott Thompson's show will never go away.

I love the way CNN describes it:

"Canada's relaxed stance on gay marriage, and on other social issues, stands in contrast to that of the United States, where President George W. Bush wants Congress to back a constitutional amendment banning same-sex marriages."

Not sure about that word "relaxed". Maybe "advanced", "more civilized", "caring" or even (shudder) "Liberal"

Take that George.

Update

Lol. Fox News, true to form, strikes a slightly more ominous tone:

Charles McVety, a spokesman for Defend Marriage Canada and president of Canada Christian College, called the vote an "onerous breach of trust and the deconstruction of so much that is dear to our hearts."

Flanked by clergymen, McVety vowed his group would work to vote out lawmakers who supported the legislation in the next general elections.

"This is the beginning of the formal fight against the redefinition of marriage," McVety said. "We will, in the next election, be able to correct this incredible democratic deficit before us today."


Flanked by clergymen. Cool.

I want a t-shirt with "Incredible Democratic Deficit" emblazoned across it.
