I don't see how gay marriage is onconstitutional
Courts in four provinces have ruled it is unconstitutional. The precedent is established.
Yard said precedents set in other British Columbia, Ontario and Quebec weighed heavily in his decision. He noted that no less than 12 judges in Canada have been asked to consider the issue.
"The cumulative effect and the overwhelming effect of that judicial authority is to the effect that the traditional definition of marriage is no longer constitutionally valid in view of the provisions of the Charter of Rights and Freedoms," he said.
People of the same sex are being denied a right available to people of the opposite sex. This infringes s. 15 of the Charter.
