Yeah, I remember those days. Very nice to see that so many posters have changed their views on this issue in the past few years.
Honestly, I think a lot of the previous opposition to it was just political partisans adopting a sports fan mentality. At the time, Harper and the Conservatives were quite vocal in their opposition to same-sex marriage when Paul Martin's Liberal government wanted to change the law, so any posters who supported the CPC felt thy had to defend the party line. It's not really all that different than Canucks fans defending Bertuzzi after the incident. Deep down, they probably knew how wrong it was, but they couldn't go against their team.
I wish there was less of that mentality in politics.
