Canada's Justice Dept Says Gay Marriages Of Non-Residents May Not Be Legal

[TheMadronas]

WTF is 'same sex marriage'? Sounds like an oxymoron.

[HampsterDance1]

Anyone who liked this u need to get a life =)

[victorious1953]

Since the issue continues to be questioned that should tell you something. Stop forcing the issue and trying to above it down everyone else's throat.Same sex marriage will NEVER EVER be equal to a marriage between a man and woman so just get over it!

[johnmingolla]

A cheap underhanded way for the Harper dictatorship to reopen the issue in order to please the gay haters in his government. The millions of gays and supporters will make sure to vote in the next elections. It's time to clean house, the stink of homophobia is getting really bad.

[antmayfield]

I'm from Canada. CBC is the only news worth a shit. I know this from working inside OV and seeing the coverage. Only actual fair shit came from CBC and occasionally Globe and Mail. The rest of our news is in the hands of insanely rich oligarchs.

[marcostar57]

Canadians you elected and re-elected a CON leader & gov't -- this is what you get from retrogrades like Harper! Please, us folks from the US look up to you -- and we do on the map too -- for enlightened political leadership.

[ShOwStOpp3rr]

if i grew up with two daddy's and had to deal with the blow back of my two daddy's picking me up from school in front of everybody,,,id have two dead daddy's and a huge faggot monkey off my back..

[marcostar57]

@ShOwStOpp3rr  Fuck-off homophobic shithead!

[MrAjjordan1980]

Hahah this mix news guy must be a faggat. Lol he erased my comments cause his feelings got hurt. You faggats need to do us all normal people a favor and get your ass in counseling for being a fag.

[RedAndGoldSF49]

@MrAjjordan1980 Nothing of substance to say so you result to insults. That's very predictable. And you can't even spell your hurled insults correctly. Let me guess, high school dropout? And why are you hating on gay people when your username is of another man? You need to let go of MJ's personal basketballs.

[shovelniron]

@RedAndGoldSF49 actully if you know how to read english his name isn't Micheal Jordan.... are you sure you're not a HighSchool dropout yourself? That was pretty simple English.

[RedAndGoldSF49]

@shovelniron Of course it doesn't say Michael. You get an A+ for picking up on that one. *around of applause* I read it as Mr Air Jordan, or Mr AJ Jordan. Either way, it was a good shot to take at him.

[RedAndGoldSF49]

@MrAjjordan1980 <---- Likes to send PM's because he was extremely butt-hurt in these comments. Its always hilarious when some people bring up "god" "MrAjjordan1980" followed by a barrage of insults. The belief in a "god" doesn't give you the right to be a prick. You have something to say, say it here. Don't be a little girl and send me PM's, coward. And he still couldn't spell his insults correctly. ahhhh hahahahaha! What a failed existence.

[elitemathlete]

Dan Savage is gay?

[elitemathlete]

anti gay marriage laws are gay.

[ReliableInsider]

Who is a gay man supposed to marry? A straight women he's not in love with??? Ridiculous.

If you accept that everybody has the right to get married . . .

you're for gay marriage.

[dontfwithme2010]

i knew when the idiots of canada put in stephen harper again that it was equivalent to 2004 of george w bullshit getting re-elected. im just glad not every canadian voter is an idiot. canada will only continue to collapse more until that shithead harper is thrown off the political cliff. 

[AvalonDraconis]

Harper is fucking prick and I really can't wait till he gets kicked out of office. The only the reason he is not opening the debate is beause he knows the bigots would LOSE, which would look bad to his conservative base. The majority of Canadians know it's unethical to deny marriage to two legal adults just because they are the same gender.

[kmelfina]

Damn, it's sad that it takes a gov't entity to recognize marriage lol.

[81onedeep]

whats with all the news from canada and china? smells like nwo

[TheEZPAXIIChannel]

Looks like Ralph Klien got his wish fufilled...just saying...

[illmatador2]

these are very dirty animals

[RedAndGoldSF49]

@illmatador2 I wouldn't say all Sweden people, but you most definitely are.

[Metacomet7]

Jesus Christ - now they're bitching about gay divorce?

Attention whores and drama queens. True trolls.

[bozolazic]

Oh! Canada.Our home on native land...

[viletree]

Death to religion. Anyone that would deprive the liberty to unite with another human being regardless of gender is a bigot, religion has done nothing but hold back the rights of human beings and corrupt the human condition. Christianity in particular is a blemish upon the West and it deserves to rot in its own hell.

[bozolazic]

@viletree Hell?! What the hell!? Holy Freeholy! Holy Guacamole! Holy Shnikes!

Shalom!

[rollofnickles]

I see a Prime Minister that needs taken down.

[gabthelazy]

Welcome to Harper's Canada guys, serves you right for giving Harper a majority governement back in May.

[13anjowizard]

gay marriage is a joke..

[CleanTownUSA]

Marriage should not be a legal institution.

[CryScarletTears]

this whole thing is just nasty

[MrAjjordan1980]

Unlike those who think they are above God. I go by his rule. I never said anything about it being my rule. The problem with society is that they think they have the power to go against God and make there own decisions. It's not your decision to make! Marriage is between a man and a woman. Your not above God!!!! NUFF SAID......AGAIN

[Char99]

@MrAjjordan1980

Then why did God give man free will?

[choochiXluvzXMakeup]

LMAO!! interesting.

[TheDayApproaches]

The wisdom of man is foolishness to GOD...

[metusStaurus]

You cannot use SUPERNATURAL bronze-age books to explain NATURAL phenomena like homosexuality, religious belief, climate change, evolution, gravity, fusion, fission, and electromagnetism. Homosexuality occurs in over 400 species that we know of. Homophobia occurs in only one -- us. We have discovered we live a natural universe, not some supernatural matrix simulation. Anyone who gets steamed over seeing two lovebirds happy together is one sad sorry scared sack of shit. Evolve or be exploited.

[TheDayApproaches]

@AceofDiamonds0 If mans opinions are in opposition to Gods, then yes, absolutely we are to obey Him...who are you to rebel against the one who gave you your entire existence? Talk about an ego...

[x1Orionx]

all gays should die fucking scum

[TheDayApproaches]

@AceofDiamonds0 True born again Christians condemn sin in any form, adultery, drunkenness, homosexuality, including the sin in my own life. I am human and nowhere's near perfect, but the difference between me and you is that I admit to my sin, repent, and try to do better with God's help, and you deny you have the sin to begin with and call God a liar...and by the way, Christians are not now, nor ever have been under Mosaic law...

[OgallalaKnowhow]

@TheDayApproaches

The original Christians were a sex cult. Jesus's love was meant in a literal sense. Not exactly my thing, but certainly preferable to the social control cult of modern christianity.

[snipzor]

It's not that they were invalidated, they weren't, at all. In any capacity. The worry is that the conservatives will reopen the issue in their favour.

[TheDayApproaches]

Shall I continue? I think not...you know the truth, you simply deny it because you will never admit your acts are an abomination to your CREATOR and JUDGE. Admit your sin and repent and HE will forgive you...deny the truth and rebel and you will face your CREATOR with unforgiveness. Do you really value your lustful sin more than your eternal soul?

[AceofDiamonds0]

@TheDayApproaches

"Do you really value your lustful sin more than your eternal soul?" and yet you bible thumpers are never against people who commit adultery.

and it is you who is denying the truth and your creator, otherwise you would be out doing what the lord commands and stoning homosexuals to death. (leviticus 20:13)

[TheDayApproaches]

Romans 8:7 "The carnal mind is enmity against God..." Romans8:8 "They that are carnally minded(of the flesh) cannot please God...". Romans 1:28 "and even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind." Context for these verses? Read Romans 8:27, the verse just prior: "and likewise, men, leaving the NATURAL use of a woman, burned in their LUST one toward another; men with men working that which is UNSEEMLY..."

[mariomoose]

You let them move into your neighborhood and raise your property value, but you won't let them marry? Fking hypocrites. :P

[OwenIVx]

Does anyone ever question the religious logic?

If we have the mind of God and we are an exact copy of Gods image, why does God want to be gay?

Don't take that question wrong, we are supposed to be the image of the said God and share the same mind, so why is it that being gay is wrong if people feel that way because in all respect, God must be thinking it too if he's real.

Just saying.

[SuperBenzid]

I feel really bad for those couples. A lot of the reason people get married is to have the government butt out of it on certain decisions. But for gay people the government can't help but keep prying in.

[PrackFerpent]

If an OMNIPOTENT being worries about who marries who, then that being is not worthy of worship.

[TheDayApproaches]

God calls it an abomination, therefore it is. If your opinion differs, that's your issue. Rant and curse all you want, it won't change GOD's opinion, and in the end, His opinion is all that counts...NUFF SAID!!!

[AceofDiamonds0]

@TheDayApproaches

so the opinions of humans doesnt matter and we should just do whatever is commanded by god. praise our eternal king.

doesnt that mean all americans or anyone in a relatively democratic country should hate gods dictatorial approach to any issue?

[MisterDoctorE]

Marriage ... worst thing anyone can to for their relationship... Dont do it!, stay in love... !

[RedAndGoldSF49]

@MrAjjordan1980 I love when people say "nuff said" and have said absolutely nothing. Your opinion is just that, but that doesn't mean we have to make laws off of that and deny basic human rights to individuals that pay taxes just like you and I do.

[burtontoker]

@RedAndGoldSF49 "Marriage" is religious, religions dont have to grant anyone the sacrament of marriage. It isn't a right, gay couples don't have the "right" to be married, since religious institutions have always controlled marriage. They can have a civil marriage, but not a traditional marriage within a religion.

[marcostar57]

@burtontoker No, dingbat marriage is a CIVIL ACT -- with civil rights and responsibilities. Noone has to be married by any religious authority -- they do not "control" marriage -- not in the 21st century;;hello!

[burtontoker]

@marcostar57 They don't control marriage? Wrong. Marriage has always been a religious, its only been within the last century that it has become a civil issue. Marriage is religious, therefore religions are allowed to deny gays the sacrament of marriage.

[marcostar57]

@burtontoker Well, idiot then how did Canada, UK, Argentina, Spain & other nations legalize gay marriage? If religion controls it how can a gov't vote to grant rights?? You're living in the early 20th century -- anyhow this story has nothing to do with what you're blabbing about.

[RedAndGoldSF49]

@burtontoker You need to understand that civil institutions and rights in this country come before anyone's belief in any "god" or in any doctrine. What is making you believe that religion/religions run this country? You have the freedom to choose and practice religion but the government is strictly politics. Marriage is a civil institution that gives religious people the option of having a religious ceremony. Stop thinking you have the right to create second class citizens because no one does.

[shovelniron]

@RedAndGoldSF49 probably because the name God is used over and over in the U.S. Constitution, maybe because American founders were mostly all from some sort of religious background... maybe because most human beings see homosexuality as going against the very fabric of nature and you don't need religion to feel that way and lots and lots of folks don't want their children raised around such behavior...maybe because some feel it's detrimental to building a secure and healthy society...

[RedAndGoldSF49]

@shovelniron Shoot man, if the U.S. was founded on the Christian religion, the Constitution would clearly say so but it does not. Nowhere does the Constitution say: "The United States is a Christian Nation", or anything even close to that. In fact, the words "Jesus Christ, Christianity, Bible, Creator, Divine, and God" are never mentioned in the Constitution not even once. “The government of the United States is not in any sense founded upon the Christian religion” - John Adams

[shovelniron]

@RedAndGoldSF49 ..... Actually you're absoultley WRONG!... you need to take a history refresher course.... and for the record I never said Christianity..... you need to pay attention to detail ....... and yes Freemasonry is a religion and it is a part of America and it does happen to include Chistian ideologies....

[shovelniron]

@RedAndGoldSF49 ...shoot man, move to Canada if you're too offended to be happy in America... they will honor your gay marrige,... people won't bad mouth you there.. you and your "partner" can get free medical and other state sponsored benefits... everyone could be happy...... problem solved

[RedAndGoldSF49]

@shovelniron Shoot man, who said I was a homosexual? Or are you just jumping to conclusions like a typical christian truther? Don't have to be one to see that their is an injustice occurring. Shoot man, nowhere in the Constitution is religion mentioned, except in exclusionary terms. When the Founders wrote the nation's Constitution, they specified that "no religious test shall ever be required as a qualification to any office or public trust under the United States."

[RedAndGoldSF49]

@shovelniron Shoot man, this is The Untied States of America, people don't need to flea to another country to be happy. Peoples life's don't need to be put on hold because you find something wrong w/ them. Please, do yourself a favor: Step off of your high horse, climb down from your pedestal, and deflate your big head. Shoot man, I hope arrogance isn't the only trait you hold.

[RedAndGoldSF49]

@shovelniron Shoot man, do you even live in the USA, or Mexico? Says MX on your page and you butt your nose into this conversation? Amazing. Unless you're an American living in Mexico, keep it down over there.

[shovelniron]

@RedAndGoldSF49 shit man if you were any smarter you could be a detective..... hehehehe

[Rockownz5150]

@MrAjjordan1980

Well, that's like just your opinion, man.

[MrAjjordan1980]

Marriage is between a MAN and a WOMAN. Nuff said!

[MOXNEWSd0tCOM]

@MrAjjordan1980

What business is it of yours who marries whom?

Just Wondering Who Made You The Boss Of People Getting Married?

Please Tell Us All :)~MOXy

[naym2011]

@MOXNEWSd0tCOM err so u dont care if someone in ur city kills someone, who made the boss ?

homosexuality is a lifestyle choice, i have no problem with it

but dont force it on other and change 3,000 years old traditions

[burtontoker]

@MOXNEWSd0tCOM Marriage IS between a man and a woman. Marriage has always been religious. Gays can have civil unions, and should have the same rights as straight couples, but they are NOT "married" in the traditional sense, since marriage has always been between a man and a woman and since it is religious. Marriage is a sacrament in religion, and obviously gay couples don't practice any religion, therefore they are not "married" since marriage deals with religion.

[jstncbllr]

@burtontoker You should look more deeply into the history of marriage.

Anyway, same-sex marriage advocates just want *equal* treatment under the law. IMO we should take "marriage" completely out of gov't hands let the churches own it.

The state should provide equal protections and rights for any two adults who wish to be joined in a civil union. It doesn't need to be called "marriage".

Gay couples "obviously...don't practice religion"... huh?? Youre trolling right?

[viletree]

@jstncbllr Churches have no business in marriage as well, marriage is a legal contract and thereby should be handled by the courts.

[jstncbllr]

@viletree If some people want to have religious ceremonies in church, that's not a problem.

The issue is that the legal and civil rights afforded by the state to people in heterosexual unions need to be exactly the same as for same-sex unions.

There's no need to play semantic games about what "marriage" means. The term is loaded w/ baggage. Why bother arguing over it? Just make "civil union" the legal standard for everyone.

[viletree]

@burtontoker Not true marriage has been a contract between two individuals at its most base dynamic. Religions perverted and stole the union and added sacrosanct bullshit to steal yet another human function and poison it with religious connotations.

[concussedcarneous]

@MOXNEWSd0tCOM how the fuck did you reach the conclusion that THAT ISN' the CASE? have you sucked cocks before? was your father a fag? and your mother a prostitute?

[benjaminbaker85]

@MrAjjordan1980 You're a scared little person, terrified of things you don't understand. Ignorance likely bred into you, you know you were trained in your beliefs, right? You know what, don't even answer. I'm not going to engage you further anyway. Waste of time.

[envirogrunt]

@MrAjjordan1980 shut up biggot douche

[ReliableInsider]

@MrAjjordan1980

Or between two men or two women.

Gay marriage is gay marriage. Opposite marriage is opposite marriage. It's all marriage.

[burtontoker]

@MrAjjordan1980 you're right.
