Two gay RCMP officers plan to marry this summer.
Our rightwingers must be going nuts.


"Two RCMP officers will finally get their man this summer, when Const. Jason Tree and Const. David Connors walk down the aisle and exchange vows.

It will be the first same-sex marriage in the Mounties' history.

"I'm a little nervous, as can be expected of any newlywed," Connors told CTV News.

3. They look Faboo in Red.

Please as a straight guy the RCMP in their dress uniforms almost
seemed like a gay pride parade.

Boots, hats, stirrups, leather belts, and very well groomed strong men
living out in the woods with each other.
*********************************************************
BTW i wish all the best too. Look how much more "grown up" the Canadians are:

Even in the small Nova Scotia fishing town where the officers live, residents couldn't care less about the marriage.

"There's nothing wrong with that. If they can't find a woman, they go for the men," one resident joked.

Another just said: "It doesn't matter."

16. Right, because it shouldn't matter.
Unfortunately, our idiot Bahble-thumpin' monarchy can't just leave it at "I don't like gay people". They want to send them all to an island, outlaw it completely and force THEIR beliefs on you whether you like it or not.

6. A happy love story always brings a smile to my face.
I feel sorry for the many people who have grown so twisted inside they can rejoice in the pain of others and be upset by someone else's joy.

I wish these gorgeous guys peace and happiness.

14. Canada is so sane.
Saner than the US, which I guess isn't saying much, though. Sigh.

15. "Mounties Mounted"
A quote from my wife. Rather harsh I'd say.
