| Description | "The opposition in the Canadian Parliament renewed its attack on gay marriage on Thursday with the introduction of legislation to cement a heterosexual-only definition of matrimony while allowing provinces to provide for same-sex civil unions.
The move by the Canadian Alliance comes two days after its motion to reaffirm marriage as solely the union between a man and a woman was narrowly defeated in a deeply divided House of Commons.
The proposed new legislation -- framed by the Alliance as a compromise -- would run contrary to the Liberal government's plans to legalize same-sex marriage, but the Alliance believes the bill could succeed, given that more than 50 Liberals voted in support of their motion on Tuesday." |
