Canadian Gay Marriage Bill Goes To Parliament Today

http://www.365gay.com/newscon05/02/020105canMarr.htm

The Canadian government will introduce its same-sex marriage legislation in the House Commons today as the opposition Tories and conservative church groups ratchet up the rhetoric.

But, as the Catholic Church and evangelical Protestants flood Members of Parliament with postcards calling on them to support traditional marriage Prime Minister Paul Martin's parish priest says he supports gay marriage.

Rev. John Walsh, of St. John Brébeuf parish in Martin's Montreal riding of LaSalle-Émard says the Catholic Church has to open its arms to gays and lesbians, and that all he is being asked to do is to respect civil gay marriage.
