In the month of June, a parliamentary committee held hearings on C-38, the government’s same-sex “marriage” legislation. The House accepted the committee’s report, debated the issue, considered amendments and passed the bill 158-133 on June 28. The next day, the bill received first reading in the Senate, which proceeded to conduct its own hearings, close down debate and pass it by a 47-21 vote on July19. The bill received royal assent the next day. Advocates of the legislation applauded the fact that Canada became the fourth country to legalize same-sex “marriage” and said it was time to move on to “more important” issues. Wait a minute. If same-sex “marriage” wasn’t a priority issue for Canadians, why was it passed with such haste? Gay ‘marriage’ now law |
