I love my city, it's probably the most supportive community when it comes to LGBTQ and I've never seen so many supporters in one place than I did at our pride parade and festival...I've never felt more accepted LOVE YOU FREDERICTON <3
And, correct me if I'm wrong, Alberta was one of the last places to allow same-sex marriage. And, in Manitoba high schools, we are being taught about lesbian and gay relationships with the whole Relationship Talk that's required. With our sex-ed, we also touch on gay and lesbian sex (protection, safe sex, risks, STIs, benefits) same as straight sex.
American gov't is poor and the population misinformed.
@Bomber0907 Man, I am SO proud to be Canadian! Honestly, I respectfully disagree with you because I am SO privileged to live here with all my rights and freedoms and benefits. Thank goodness for a democratic society, and you can't bring me down! :) We are a modern society and that's why we're supporting it. Just as women and black people got the same rights and freedoms as everyone else, society is now accepting gays-as they should! I love Canada <3 :) !
this video should be renamed "what THESE Canadians think about same-sex marriage" "Canadians", although meant as "these selected few in my video" can be misinterpreted as "this is the view of all Canadians" which it is not
@567WORMBOY123 It's the view of the majority, babycakes. I know it pisses you off, but you need to accept it. Live and let live. Gays getting married isn't affecting you in any way.
@MissLeigh78 last tiem i checkwed we have a conservative majority government, and even IF the majority of people in canada agreed with it, it does not mean we all have to accept it, there are many right wing concepts the majority of citizens agree with that the liberals would like to see done away with, the most i can agree to is what you said "live and let live" gays want to be married, alright i can accept that, at a price
Thats kinda funny, The first girl ho started talking "the people who don't aggree with it don't need to be part of it" hmmm thats not fascist or anything. I wonder if the polygamysts get the same rights...
Please visit my channel for the unpopular truth about homosexuality.
A person does not need hatred or any kind of phobia in order to acknowledge important differences between heterosexuality and homosexuality. Even non-religious people know this.
The homosexual agenda is not good for anyone, including those who consider themselves "gay".
Homosexual activists, with support from the media, have successfully framed themselves as noble victims; it's an effective way to push a social agenda.
I'm totally agree with same sex-marriage because I think you express yourself the love to anyone you love at whole lot and I'd be glade to have this benefit in my country, but we'll get it on 2013 and I'll have to tie the know in a registry office cause cannot tie it at a catholic church as I was used since I was a little boy. I'm from Colombia and I really look up Canada, the Netherlands and others because they have a wide soetial acceptance for LGBTI people.
Could anyone tell me what language he speaks or did speak? I don't remember the english language having that many 'S's in it. What kind of accent is that.
i find it weird for same sex to be with eachother but i guess i just dont understand- they do- so i support them, im canadian and i dont mind same-sex marrage being legal.
Dear God, why is Canada so cool? They're kicking America's ass left and right in terms of health care and social reforms and... and can we even call ourselves the number one country in the world anymore? Shame on us...
god this is why the other countries are beating us america. canadas got gay marriage mexico has gay marriage, even south africa has gay marriage. i wanna move to canada becuase this is how people are over tthere, kind and respectful. notice how no one said that being gay was an abomination or evil or against god. because canada is full of genuinly nice people.
I'm not Canadian, and I'm not against gay marriage. But 10 peoples opinions on the contentious matter isn't enough to conclude "What Canadians think about gay marriage."
You should consider including statistical support that draws opinion on a larger group, or change the title to "What 10 Canadians think about same sex marriage."

@geofreyr That's not the original definition of marriage either. It would have been something like "a bonding of a man and a woman in the eyes of god (or Odin, or Rah etc.)", since originally it would have been a purely church handled issue, not a state one. We've clearly moved passed such nonsense, as we freely allow non-religious folk to marry.
You're free to believe it's wrong or it's right, but it shouldn't affect the law. I take comfort in knowing your attitude is slowly dying out.
@perfectzero001 You a right, the proper definition sits contextually within the Church.
You clearly adhere to the separation of Church and state and if so, why not leave holy Matrimony with the Church and adhere to a state institution like civil unions?
@geofreyr I would actually be okay with that, but marriage IS a government institution. If marriage was completely taken out of government for straights and gays, I would be fine with individual churches deciding whether or not they would recognize "marriages". I wouldn't force the Catholic church to marry two men and I wouldn't want to punish the Unitarians for allowing it
If it's the same government rules across the board, and they don't say one love is greater than another, then cool.
@perfectzero001 Sounds reasonable, I think I agree with you. Interesting situation then that marriage is both a state and Religious institution - I guess it must be part of both because there needs to be legal (state) aspects to a marriage agreement.
@redsoxfan1984 It depends on what you mean in the definition of your statement (lol). If you're suggesting that, let's say "temporal" definition - ie, you accept that a definition depends on place, time, people and so-forth, then yes, definitions do change. Conversely, if you accept that at the inception of the word it was given its proper meaning (proper/absolute, whatever), then no. This is its definition and it never changes, regardless of the human position at the time.
This isn't about gay rights, it's about human rights.
If the government has the power to tell you who you can and can't marry, then who's to say they wont try and take away other rights as well? If you don't agree with same-sex marriage, fine - don't get one. But stop advocating the ability for the government to take away the rights of the people.
@geofreyr Life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. I think entering into a bond that signifies two people's love of each other falls under 'pursuit of happiness'.
@redsoxfan1984 Yes, so it seems... I am amused that in the US, amongst some people, "libertarian" has become a bad word, when it really means "someone who supports freedom", which implies that people who are ANTI-libertarian DON'T like freedom...
We can't have a debate on same-sex marriage! Parents might have to explain to their children what homosexuality is.
US Rep Ike Skelton said it best: “What do mommies and daddies say to their 7-year-old child?” the 78-year-old Skelton said. “My biggest concerns are the family.”
That's the final word, we can't discuss anything involving homosexuality. Parents today simply can't handle the pressure... of being parents.
@AdamTh1 Sure they can. They probably just don't want to be forced to explain to their children why their sex education teachers say gay sex is natural and normal when they know it's not.
@geofreyr Scientists have observed homosexuality in nearly every single animal species on the planet. Since it has been observed in nature, it is therefore natural.
@redsoxfan1984 rape and murder is observed too .. no, I don't subscribe to that definition of what is natural. I think the other, what nature intended if you like (male and female reproductive organs), is a more reasonable definition.
@geofreyr Does that matter? Equality is all the matters. All gay people want is the equal protections and rights from the state and country.
Also, I hate this 'natural' definition. Nearly every single species of animals has been observed in some sort of homosexual activity. In nature. Therefore, it's natural :)
@joe546213 Well.. If he was a 'fagot' Which you spelled wrong. I would totally smoke him. Cause he looks like a tastey CIGARETTE! YOU IGNORANT BIGOT! Spell the fucking word right, If you're going to say it! Oh and also, Don't say it, If you do not know what the fuck it means! CIGARETTES AND STICKS! Fucking ignorant people I swear.
When I think about the debate it makes me slightly ashamed to be an American and especially a Californian. In the United States, we have a strong constitution and over 200 years of court rulings pointing to equal protection under the law, so it's baffling that our governments struggle to achieve marriage equality.
Because sexual orientation is established at birth, there should be no discrimination with regard to whom civil marriage licenses are given.
@Userman969 And that is why you and your little teabagging friends will once again be on the wrong side of history. Hell has a special place for the Hitlers and those who propagate hate and intolerance.
@garzj019 You shmuck, in all rational societies in the human history, gay marriage has been condemned because it is a choice, a fashion for a man or a woman who is not accepted by another gender because of their poor choices..it is unnatural, filthy, irrational, destructive and wrong...it is not intolerance you shmuck, do you want to be tolerant to a serial killer, or a rapist??? I guess not
@Userman969 Same sex marriage has been around for thousands of years. It saw a dip with religion, which fucked everything else up anyway.
America has seen the face of intolerance, it's fought it on several fronts both domestically and abroad through its history. For you to ignore it is shameful, embarrassing, filthy, destructive and wrong.
You're nothing but a bigot who will either die alone or with a fellow bigot, you'll be a bitter old man or lady who only knew what they were against.
@garzj019 On the contrary, it's unlikely that garzj019 will die alone because his view represents a global majority.
I'm also intrigued by your statement: "Same sex marriage has been around for thousands of years. It saw a dip with religion" - considering ancient religious cultures like the Hebrews never allowed it and I don't know of any contemporaneous cultures that did, can you please explain?
@geofreyr I think your reply was misdirected. Anyway, take the Chinese and the Romans, for example. They had same sex marriage and domestic partnerships. And Hebrews today, in Israel, accept same sex marriage and any other non-religious marriages performed outside of Israel.
@idaman12345 possibly, but our phsyiology is geared toward being straight and therefore can be (strongly) argued that it's natural/normal, to be inclined that way.
@geofreyr is it natural to be self serving? cuase most people are that? is it natural to be hateful, jealous, pack mentality creatures that we are? cause most people are those things.
@arksnark It depends on your definition of "natural", just because I feel and act some particular way doesn't make it natural, but again, we have to define what natural means, this is a very contested area. Here's an example, I would say it's natural for me to consume food through my mouth as opposed to say IV, would you agree?
@geofreyr well, no, i think they are differnt subjects. see the I.V. thing is something taht someone will do to survive, or heal, or for a medical reason like that. same sex feelings are somthing most gay people have always felt, are a intricate part of them. just like striaght people need love and intamacy, gay people need the same, just with people of the same gender.
One day, people will learn that the majority cannot dictate the rights of a minority group. Canadians have the right idea. If your children will not be ashamed of your bigotry and hate, your grandchildren will be.
Fair enough. However given a bigger sample size and depending on the method the question was asked, one would expect the elderly to oppose gay marriage, given they're generally more socially conservative.
Yes there is a bias in this video and the result is to be expected. Just like if I asked the older (and wiser) the same question, the answers would be the opposite. It's called selection bias.
@XforeverlongingX err, yeah, I know that, read the question that i'm answering "why is it that old is always *synonymous* with wiser" - to which I answered - nothing to do with whether or not an old person is actually in the video.
@axs2 No.. smart people, people who actually act as a nation, If they are tolerant. The United States is a hypocritical Country, That only follows selected things, And talks it's way around things. If a homosexual man, Was President, Or a Lesbian. Things in this Country, Would be so much better. They would focus on the people's needs are. They would KNOW how to run a Country better, Then President Obama. I am not racist, But he should not of been elected, Nor McCain.
@brian555666 What ass are you pulling this out of? Are you asserting that just because a person is gay they can automatically run economies, wars, and republics better? Where is the evidence.
However, I want to experience the federal recognition of same-sex marriage on The United States. Americans should open their minds about liberlism, freedom and tolerance like it was stated in Constitution . Those who support Prop8 are the toally spycho freaks .
Another fine example of a Canada > USA. I mean, they have had gay marriage laws since 2005. Only 1\25 of the states allow it! And we always boast about how free we are how much equality we hold! What hypocrisy USA!
@bbienven1 I KNOW THAT SEEMS HARSH TO SAY INSECURE AND IGNORANT , BUT THINK ABT IT, ON BOTH SIDES. YOU HAVE ONE SIDE STATING YOU ARE WRONG IN EVERYTHING YOU BELIEVE, BUT IN OUR HEARTS WE KNOW GOD MADE US THIS WAY. WE ARE CONSTANTLY BATTLING FOR THE RESPECT THAT WE ARE NOT GIVEN AND WITH WHAT SO CALLED CHRISTIANS, NOT ALL ,BUT ALOT SAY WE ARE AN ABOMINATION, WE KNOW IT NOT TO BE TRUE, BUT THATS FINE FOR SOMEONE TO DISAGREE , BUT WHEN IT IS HURTING OUR WAY OF LIFE, U BET WE ARENT GONNA TAKE IT.
@Grimace All you had to do was interview older people, who would have given a more traditional opinion. But you interviewed Canadas entire Y generation, you fucken' lib idiot. You might as well have gone to a college, & asked everyone there about what they thought on multiculturalism, or diversity. What do you think they are going to say? You operated that just like the liberal media at large. And you wonder why libertarians & conservatives call you guys biased. Liberals are very ageist.
@TheMedievalMan my perants are old , 57 and 65, and they support gay rights.
my grandmother of 75 supports gay rights.
and if liberals are ageist, then may i make a untrue blanket statemnet and point out conservitaves are homophobic, fought agaisnt blakc rights, and womens equality.
@arksnark Of course your parents and grandparents support gay rights. BECAUSE THEY RAISED YOU. I posted this comment to the person who made the video, he has to answer it. Most liberals are ageist, look at the media and who they target. Its always the young, they know this because young people are easier to convince and indoctrinate. Older people not as much since they have already made up their minds on how they feel a society, and their life should be, this is natural with different ages.
@bbienven1 MAYBE HE DIDNT FIND ANYONE IGNORANT OR INSECURE LIKE WE FIND HERE IN THE USA. I SAW A COMMENT U MADE ABT A VIDEO ON CANADAS VIEWS ON GAY MARRIAGE. HAD TO COMMENT, DORIAN HERE.
@dorianstark Hi Dorian. I don't mind the comment. I'm in the USA where people are free to express their views, so I appreciate it. Perhaps he didn't find anyone who had another view. However, I don't see why someone with an opposing view would be 'ignorant' or 'insecure'. The same people who fight for gay rights say that it is unfair for them to be labeled and for people to be intolerant. The same should apply here. If I posted a video with only one view...I would be biased..smh.
I'm not gay at all, but that doesn't mean I hate gay people or that I think they shouldn't be married. They're human beings just like you and I, and they deserve to live their lives with whoever they love. People who don't want that are really just ignorant, religious fundamentalists, who are, in my opinion, the main reason why there's so much intolerance, hate and conflict in this world.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
"For this reason God gave them up to vile passions. For even their women exchanged the natural use for what is against nature. Likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust for one another, men with men committing what is shameful, and receiving in themselves the penalty of their error which was due."
@AceofDimonds0 God made Eve with Adam's rib cage. OMG, does that mean that if I want a wife, I can just take part of my ribs and and poof I have a wife?? You retard
@zincdude01 hey we have more than one rib too! So that MUST be a justification for polygamy!! please, lol i guess it was easy to come up with that story instead of saying that he had to chase her around the garden with a hardon lmfao!
Arguing with a Bible when there is separation of church and state is silly. Please explain who's version of Christianity should be used as the tyrant point of view. Catholics or Protestants?And how long do you think it will take before you all start killing eachother in the street like a bunch of animals? The separation of church & state is what allows you to freely practice your beliefs without fear of persecution. However, this goes across the board to everyone including gays & non-Xtians.

geofreyr 1 year ago
@geofreyr I would actually be okay with that, but marriage IS a government institution. If marriage was completely taken out of government for straights and gays, I would be fine with individual churches deciding whether or not they would recognize "marriages". I wouldn't force the Catholic church to marry two men and I wouldn't want to punish the Unitarians for allowing it
If it's the same government rules across the board, and they don't say one love is greater than another, then cool.
perfectzero001 1 year ago
@perfectzero001 Sounds reasonable, I think I agree with you. Interesting situation then that marriage is both a state and Religious institution - I guess it must be part of both because there needs to be legal (state) aspects to a marriage agreement.

@geofreyr do definitions change over time?
redsoxfan1984 1 year ago
@redsoxfan1984 It depends on what you mean in the definition of your statement (lol). If you're suggesting that, let's say "temporal" definition - ie, you accept that a definition depends on place, time, people and so-forth, then yes, definitions do change. Conversely, if you accept that at the inception of the word it was given its proper meaning (proper/absolute, whatever), then no. This is its definition and it never changes, regardless of the human position at the time.

This isn't about gay rights, it's about human rights.
If the government has the power to tell you who you can and can't marry, then who's to say they wont try and take away other rights as well? If you don't agree with same-sex marriage, fine - don't get one. But stop advocating the ability for the government to take away the rights of the people.

@redsoxfan1984 What does the declaration of independance say pertaining to gay marriage?

@geofreyr Life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. I think entering into a bond that signifies two people's love of each other falls under 'pursuit of happiness'.
redsoxfan1984 1 year ago
@redsoxfan1984 Yes, so it seems... I am amused that in the US, amongst some people, "libertarian" has become a bad word, when it really means "someone who supports freedom", which implies that people who are ANTI-libertarian DON'T like freedom...

We can't have a debate on same-sex marriage! Parents might have to explain to their children what homosexuality is.
US Rep Ike Skelton said it best: “What do mommies and daddies say to their 7-year-old child?” the 78-year-old Skelton said. “My biggest concerns are the family.”
That's the final word, we can't discuss anything involving homosexuality. Parents today simply can't handle the pressure... of being parents.

@geofreyr Scientists have observed homosexuality in nearly every single animal species on the planet. Since it has been observed in nature, it is therefore natural.
redsoxfan1984 1 year ago
@redsoxfan1984 rape and murder is observed too .. no, I don't subscribe to that definition of what is natural. I think the other, what nature intended if you like (male and female reproductive organs), is a more reasonable definition.
geofreyr 1 year ago
@geofreyr Does that matter? Equality is all the matters. All gay people want is the equal protections and rights from the state and country.
Also, I hate this 'natural' definition. Nearly every single species of animals has been observed in some sort of homosexual activity. In nature. Therefore, it's natural :)

When I think about the debate it makes me slightly ashamed to be an American and especially a Californian. In the United States, we have a strong constitution and over 200 years of court rulings pointing to equal protection under the law, so it's baffling that our governments struggle to achieve marriage equality.
Because sexual orientation is established at birth, there should be no discrimination with regard to whom civil marriage licenses are given.

I guess not
Userman969 1 year ago
@Userman969 Same sex marriage has been around for thousands of years. It saw a dip with religion, which fucked everything else up anyway.
America has seen the face of intolerance, it's fought it on several fronts both domestically and abroad through its history. For you to ignore it is shameful, embarrassing, filthy, destructive and wrong.
You're nothing but a bigot who will either die alone or with a fellow bigot, you'll be a bitter old man or lady who only knew what they were against.

@garzj019 On the contrary, it's unlikely that garzj019 will die alone because his view represents a global majority.
I'm also intrigued by your statement: "Same sex marriage has been around for thousands of years. It saw a dip with religion" - considering ancient religious cultures like the Hebrews never allowed it and I don't know of any contemporaneous cultures that did, can you please explain?

@dorianstark Hi Dorian. I don't mind the comment. I'm in the USA where people are free to express their views, so I appreciate it. Perhaps he didn't find anyone who had another view. However, I don't see why someone with an opposing view would be 'ignorant' or 'insecure'. The same people who fight for gay rights say that it is unfair for them to be labeled and for people to be intolerant. The same should apply here. If I posted a video with only one view...I would be biased..smh.

I'm not gay at all, but that doesn't mean I hate gay people or that I think they shouldn't be married.

People who don't want that are really just ignorant, religious fundamentalists, who are, in my opinion, the main reason why there's so much intolerance, hate and conflict in this world.

Arguing with a Bible when there is separation of church and state is silly. Please explain who's version of Christianity should be used as the tyrant point of view. Catholics or Protestants?And how long do you think it will take before you all start killing eachother in the street like a bunch of animals? The separation of church & state is what allows you to freely practice your beliefs without fear of persecution. However, this goes across the board to everyone including gays & non-Xtians.
