The "Homosexual Agenda" gathers pace.

[Agathon]

Just saw on the CBC News ticker that British Columbia has legalized gay marriage effective immediately.

Watch out Ralph Klein, it's only a short hop from your patch and I imagine that gay Albertans will be popping over to get married immediately. Soon Alberta will teeming with happily married queer couples.

Sucks to be you, Ralph.

Didn't Klein just get a pie in the face somewhere?

Yep. It's been a bad week for him.

Actually, gay issues are coming to head in several places. It's turning out to be a watershed year. In addition to Canada and the U.S. sodomy ruling, in California, the voters are likely to approve extending same-sex partnership benefits that will effectively create civil unions there, and a lawsuit will be heard in Massachussetts challenging the heterosexual-only state marriage laws. If the MA Supreme Court sides with the plaintiffs, the state will probably in the same position as Vermont and will have to create civil unions or extend marriage to gays.

Catching up to the Western world we are!

That's good news. When everyone gets over it, perhaps people can get on with their lives.

You know Boris I'd be willing to bet a sum of money that the vast majority of second posts in threads with "gay" or "homosexual" in the title are by you.

You're on. But no Canadian money, I want something of value.

New Zealand Dollars.

Boris asked for something of value, Ag.... Why not just give him a New Zealand sheep?

[Boris Godunov]

Seriously, though, I think Ag will find himself in error with his bet.

No. San Francisco has domestic partnerships that entail civil benefits. The state of California had a registry for same-sex partnerships, but it did not confer any benefits or rights. The current measures under consideration would extend pretty much every benefit/right the state gives to married couples to same-sex partners who are registered.

Saw it on CNN at the gym this morning. Why?

I barely thought it was newsworthy here, let alone international news.
