And if they think that changing the definition of civil (not religious) marriage is an affront to their beliefs? Too fudging bad...we live in a secular democratic society, not a theocracy
And the other side will say the same damn thing to gays wanting to be termed "married"...dont trot that BS out, it doesn't help.

And in a democracy I thought majority ruled...when a majority (though narrow) of Canadians are actually opposed to C-38, why is it rammed through anyhow?

thsi was the last poll I found on the subject...from CBC

Slightly more than half – 52 per cent – of the 1,203 respondents said they disagreed with the Liberal government's plan to change the definition of marriage to include same-sex couples.

Nearly as many people – 44 per cent of respondents – said they supported Bill C-38, the legislation that would make the change law
