this topic is just too controversial to be solved.
i think this is a great method to discuss the topic, but i think it is too deeply routed in ideology to be solvable in such a format.
i am not sure about everyone else, but i have argued this topic more times then i care to remember, and nothing that i have read, or that i have said, is new.
fact of the matter is, it looks like the issue is over and i am sure that politicans will drop that matter and never bring it up again for fear of political suicide. the only reason that vote was even held yesterday was to fufill an election promise anyways. harper had no intention of winning. the idea is that now it is over and the liberals will not be able to nail him to a wall with it come election time.
so while i may not agree with homosexuality, gay marriage, and especially gay parents, it is over. in my opinion the country and society are worse off for it, but it is over.
