Same Sex Marriage

Canada joins Belgium and the Netherlands in legalizing gay marriages across the entire country -- despite the efforts of the conservatives and religious wackos. Another reason for me to be proud to be Canadian. If two people want to get married, what should it matter to anyone else? I like to use the analogy of interracial marriages. It wasn't too long ago when such a thing was seen as an affront to the sanctity of marriage -- whatever the fuck that means. How different is this? Marriage isn't about having kids; it's not about raising kids -- because if it was, we would have to force married couples to have kids and single parents from raising them. Marriage is about two people sharing their lives together -- for better or for worse.
