Same Sex Marriage is an Equal Human Right Larry King Live | USA Federal Lawsuit

Ted Olson and David Boies file US Federal Law Suit to Abolish Ban on Same Sex Marriage. Interviewed on Larry King Live.

It's about time that the USA joined the rest of the modern world (Belgium, Canada, Netherlands, Norway, South Africa, Spain, and Sweden). No same sex couples and gays and lesbians are not asking for you to take up the metric system (heaven forbid), but just to recognize equal human rights. Canadian society hasn't imploded as a result of Legal Same Sex Marriage in Canada.

There is no way that two people of the same sex getting married can impact your hetrosexual marriage execpt to potentially offend your delusional beliefs in an imaginary invisible friend in the sky.

The very same paragraph in the Canadian Constitution that protects Native North American rights also protects the rights of humans to marry each other if they so choose.

On July 20, 2005, Canada became the fourth country in the world to legalize same-sex marriage nationwide with the enactment of the Civil Marriage Act. Court decisions, starting in 2003, each already legalized same-sex marriage in eight out of ten provinces and one of three territories, whose residents comprised about 90% of Canada's population. Before passage of the Act, more than 3,000 same-sex couples had already married in these areas. Most legal benefits commonly associated with marriage had been extended to cohabiting same-sex couples since 1999.

Same-sex marriage was originally legalized as a result of court cases in which provincial or territorial justices ruled existing bans on same-sex marriage unconstitutional. Thereafter, many gay and lesbian couples obtained marriage licences in those provinces; like opposite-sex couples, they did not need to be residents of any of those provinces in order to marry there.

A draft of what would become Bill C-38 was released on July 17, 2003, by the Minister of Justice, Martin Cauchon. Prior to its introduction, he submitted the bill as a reference to the Supreme Court, asking the court to rule on whether limiting marriage to heterosexual couples is consistent with the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms and if same-sex civil unions are an acceptable alternative. On December 9, 2004, the Supreme Court of Canada ruled that the marriage of same-sex couples is constitutional, that the federal government has the sole authority to amend the definition of marriage, and the Charter's protection of freedom of religion grants religious institutions the right to choose not to perform the marriage ceremonies of same-sex couples if they see fit.

Same-sex marriage will someday be as commonplace as interracial marriage.

- could do the same and stop bashing or scolding them, it'd work itself out. You don't have to scream the Word of God at them. If they know it already, then shake the dust off your feet and keep it moving broski. If they are going to Hell or whatever may happen, why do you care? As long as you're doing what God says and tells you, you'll be fine; as long as YOU get into HEAVEN, why do you care about anyone else going or whatever? Stop wasting your time on them; they don't wanna hear it.

Really now... Now frankly, I'm the type of Christian who could care less if they get married or not. I have my reasons for not supporting homosexual marriage, and no, they are not primarily religious-based. Am I going to go out and gay-bash or have I ever done so? No. Do I have to support it? No. Am I going to tell them they are going to hell or going to pay? No.

Frankly, if they are or aren't, I could care less. Not my soul. Not my problem. Now if only my other fellow God-believers
