You gotta fight!! For your right! To wedding Parrrrrr-ty!



When Parliament votes on gay marriage, likely in the next couple of months, a positive vote will probably be the end of gay marriage as an issue. If the vote goes against, I think the Canadian government is in for an expensive legal battle, leading to the exact same result: recognition of gay marriage. Now, I've made no secret of being in favour of gay marriage, and being against expensive legal battles, so to my way of thinking, a yes vote in Parliament means everybody wins.



The people behind this site think the issue is more urgent than that, and they may be right. But either way, it's worth the effort to contact your MP and reinforce the message to vote yes. And that page will tell you exactly who that MP is, how they are leaning, and how to reach him or her.



What I find most interesting is that a quick examination of their scorecard finds not a single CA MP in favour of same-sex marriage. Some of you may be thinking, "well, duh," but a party that claims to be so representative of constituents should be proving that with at least one or two MPs voting yes because they accept that Canadian opinion is split, because they accept that the opinions within their constituencies lean in favour. That's the message I'll be communicating to my MP. Find a message and an MP of your own, and send your congratulations or complaints the appropriate direction.
