Who is deprived of any rights?
No one in this country is unable to get married.
And in terms of same sex unions, no one is arguing that they shouldn't have the same rights as married couples. What they are arguing about, and wasting tax dollars at the same time, is about what they are calling same sex unions. Instead of calling it a same sex union or some other term they are lumping it in with marriage.
Because a small subsection of the population has nothing better to with their time, money is being wasted on something even more frivilous then the gun registry.

Actually, from my understanding, not anyone in this country CAN get married. A marriage certificate is only issued to a man and woman. Married couples also enjoy tax benefits from the goverment and other programs that same sex couples do not qualify for.
And if they are fighting simply to call it marriage so what? Its the principle behind the matter. What if we told all black kids in Canada that yeah sure they have the right to an education, they just have to get it at their own schools. To me its a matter if being equally recognized.
