Canada has the Royal Assent. Gay marriage is now the law.

I'm thinking about all my red-neck friends, relatives and acquaintances. *giggles*

  • Gay marriage is now the law. So, now we are all obliged to marry people of the same sex. Toute suite, eh! *starts looking at co-workers in a different light*
  • the final piece falls into place making gay marriage the law of the land. Exactly what fish tick said... now everyone get down to that gay bar!
  • Now gay people can enjoy all the great things us hetrosexuals do. Inlaws, divorce, alimony, child support payments, etc...
  • This post is gay.
  • Royal ASSent.
  • This is infinitely gay. Yeah, yeah, via Fark.com. What are the odds there's a big street party on Church St tonight, I wonder?
  • Let's start a nuclear war at the gay bar Yay Canada!
  • From the CBC site noted above: The rally culminated by spilling into Plaza de Colon. Snort!
  • Hm. No wonder Amberglow hasn't visited us in a couple of months.
  • Mr. Koko just said, "I always told you; Scotty would never live to see gay marriage." I don't remember him saying that, but ok.
  • The rally culminated by spilling into Plaza de Colon. Heh, fish tick! Good eye! I want to delete the "L" from "cuLminate" and read the sentence over and over.
  • My theory is the guy who wrote that article wrote it over a beer at 5:30 laughing so hard his face was red, wiping tears from his eyes etc.
  • Go Canada!
  • Of course, as every Canadian child is taught, Buddy Cole was the catalyst for the whole thing...
  • Another CBC story: B.C. Senator Gerry St. Germain, an outspoken critic of the bill, fears judges are determining policies that should be decided by conscience. "If we don't stop this ... I know what the next steps are. Euthanasia. Decriminalization of marijuana," said St. Germain. The horror, the horror! :-)
  • B.C. Senator Gerry St. Germain, an outspoken critic of the bill, fears judges are determining policies that should be decided by conscience. Conscience...or, you know, mindless prejudice. Pretty much the same thing in this context.
  • So does homosexuality lead to smoking dope or is it the other way around>>???
  • Go Canada!
  • I had feared the Queen had to actually read and sign this Bill, but she didn't. Probably good for her. I've no idea what she things of this whole gay marriage thing, and I like it to keep it that way. An now i'm going to move to the US to export gay marriage. I lived in the Netherlands, Belgium and Canada and this can't be a coincidence. I'm sure God has a plan for me. On preview: I never lived in Spain.
  • Canada's increasingly coming to seem like the only civilized nation left in North America.
  • Or the world. *Tips the male monkeys the wink / turns coquettishly on heel*
  • Damn skippy!
  • Oh god I wish I had a gay spouse.
  • Quid, you just want a wife you can go check out babes with.
  • I can probably get my hands on a gay mouse, if that's any good?
  • Here in Canada, we are more inclined to the moose. /not sure about gay content.
  • Oh Canada! *playful slap*
  • Imagine how bad a case of moosejaw must be!
  • For a case of moosejaw, you need to go to your Medicine Hat. ("Our vision is to be a Community of Choice" -- now more than ever, I suppose!)
  • I have a six-pack of Moose Drool chilling in the fridge right now.
  • BlueHorse, are you guzzling Moosehead beer? One of my favourite beer jokes: How can you recognize a person who likes Moosehead? Antler marks on the stomach! Bwa-ha-ha!
  • But let us pause, nor deem the labor vain, O’er scenes which never can return again. From shore to shore see stately woods extend, And to the wave their verdant shadows lend; No treacherous steel assails their stems of pride, To God they bow, but stoop to none beside, And ’neath the shelter of these ancient groves, The Cariboo with fearless footstep roves, Or the gay Moose in jocund gambol springs, Cropping the foliage Nature round him flings. No gallant sails o’er ocean’s bosom sweep, No keel divides the billows of the deep That fling o’er rock and shoal their dizzy spray, Or, softly murmuring, seek some lonely bay. from 'Acadia' - Joseph Howe
  • Joe Who?
  • Hey! I used to live in Jocund Gambol Springs!
  • *finally understands "SCTV"*
  • *nominates Fes honourary hoser*
  • Glad to see Canada has finally caught up to Massachusets, USA.
  • take off, islander!
  • Where is my gay apocalypse? (No matter how many times I read this, the line "Run away! The gay people in love are coming!" never gets less funny.)
  • Read my floppy moose lips, tickles. I said Moose Drool
  • drjimmy, most of Canada was unaffected by this bill because most provinces had already made same-sex marriage legal. Besides the publicity, this doesn't change all that much.
  • Don't bother Smo. A quick browse through past threads will show jimmy has a huge chip on his shoulder on this topic...
  • Lots of people are very uncomfortable with this business. I'm not sure it helps to call it a huge chip on the shoulder, just as it does not help to call distaste for homosexuality a 'phobia'. That just irritates people further.
  • Yes indeed. No need for any unwarranted fuss. Let us get back to the wonderful world of the moose in Canada. They can be a problem, but we know how to make the best of things.
  • Do vaticans really go tut-tut or should it be tsk-tsk? /only in Canada, you say?
  • I miss the days when Alex Reynolds would appear with his sledgehammer in threads like this.
  • I'd like to hear from Sideshow Mel!
  • "It's because of gay marriage that I have this bone in my hair!"
  • Is it just me or does "Vatican tut-tuts" sound like breakfast cereal? With little cruciform marshmallows and a grinning cartoon monk on the box?
  • I am sick of getting married again and again.
  • Shut up and kiss me, you mad, impetuous fool!
  • *squack!*
  • yay! ulster says yes to same-sex unions! now maybe ulster can say no to bigotry and sectarianism
