Unfortunately, as several courts have decided, this separation goes against the Charter in Canada and the Constitution in the United States. Our government is not allowed, under its guiding documents, to entrench discrimination. Of course, you are more than entitled to disagree...thank heavens for our right to disagree.

Hopefully, someday you might embrace the diversity that exists among us and will support the rights of LGBT to celebrate and formalize our lifelong loving commitments in front of our friends, family, the government and God (if we believe). Until then, we will disagree.
