Homosexual marriage II

[GreyMouser]

Is it okay to interrupt and post something about homosexual marriage on this thread?

Prime Minister Stephen Harper said he will respect today's vote against revisiting debate on same-sex marriage, and considers the matter closed.

MPs voted 175-123 on Thursday against a Conservative motion calling for the government to introduce legislation restoring the traditional definition of marriage.

"We made a promise to have a free vote on this issue, we kept that promise, and obviously the vote was decisive and obviously we'll accept the democratic result of the people's representatives," said Harper. "I don't see reopening this question in the future."

Though the Conservatives had to intoduce this to fulfil a campaign promise, their hearts weren't in it, and Harper wanted to get it over with with as little fuss as possible.

Latest polls show support at 58%, a 3% gain since the legislation was first introduced, while opposition has dropped by the same amount, to 36%.

I suppose we can expect total societal breakdown in the imminent future.
