| Description | Canadians have overwhelmingly rejected the extreme views of Stephen Harper and the Conservative Party and have instead voted for parties that embrace the Charter and will respect the human rights of gay and lesbian Canadians.
“Yesterday was a great day for equality,” said Alex Munter, Co-Chair of Canadians for Equal Marriage. “Canadians have overwhelmingly voted for parties committed to equality for all Canadians, including lesbian and gay people. Now Parliament needs to move forward with equal marriage legislation. One-quarter of Canadians still cannot access equal marriage, and they must be put on an equal footing with the rest of us.”
........“Support for equal marriage in Parliament has increased,” added Mr. Arron. “The loss of a handful of supportive MPs was more than compensated for by the election of NDP and Bloc MPs who support the Charter and support equal marriage for same-sex couples. |
