CANADIANS: SAVE MARRIAGE

URGENT! -- January 5, 2005

WITHOUT YOUR INPUT, THE DEMISE OF THE CANADIAN FAMILY MAY BE IRRETRIEVABLY DECIDED IN A FEW SHORT WEEKS.

PLEASE IMMEDIATELY FORWARD THIS E-MAIL TO THOSE WHOSE JUDGEMENT YOU TRUST.

Dear Friend;

With a view to equality, the Liberal government plans to introduce legislation next month to legalize same-sex marriage nationwide. They see this as a basic human-rights issue, and nothing Canada can’t handle.

But what if they’re wrong?

Pro-family groups and cultural experts across the nation and around the world warn that redefining marriage will have profound, far-reaching, and even drastic effects on the family. They say this is a decision that mustn’t be rushed through Parliament or foisted upon the people without their consent; that Canada’s children will pay a devastating price for it; that future generations of Canadians deserve better.

What if they’re right?

Consider this commentary, co-written by two McGill University experts on civilization (one of whom is gay).

“Most people like to consider their society a tolerant one, and this is certainly laudable. But no society could endure if tolerance were taken to its ultimate conclusion: the belief that ‘anything goes.’ In addition to tolerance - otherwise known as ‘love,’ ‘caring’ or ‘compassion’ – every society must be guided by wisdom. And that requires citizens to be as reasonable as they are tolerant. Canadians should think twice, therefore, before redefining marriage.” Katherine Young and Paul Nathanson, “The Future of An Experiment” in Divorcing Marriage: Unveiling the Dangers in Canada’s New Social Experiment (Montreal & Kingston: McGill-Queen’s University Press, 2004).

These are sobering words. More excerpts from Young and Nathanson’s discussion on how same-sex-marriage could hurt children, men, women, singles, society, religious communities, education, and even democracy are available here.

If Young, Nathanson, and the multitudes that share their concerns are correct, same-sex marriage must not go ahead without the consent of the people, after exhaustive public debate. There is much, much more at stake than just minority rights!

Why, although the Supreme Court of Canada refused to rule against traditional marriage, is the government rushing ahead with same-sex marriage?

Why, when Prime Minister Paul Martin promised a free vote on the issue, is he ordering all 39 Cabinet Ministers and 28 Parliamentary Secretaries to support the same-sex bill, even though some of those government MPs campaigned in defense of traditional marriage?

Why does the debate rage over the rights of adults, despite evidence from Scandinavia that same-sex marriage interferes with the needs of children?

Why, when the latest poll shows supporters and opponents of same-sex marriage almost evenly split, with fully 24% of Canadian voters undecided, are Canadians being denied a national referendum which would open the doors to full public debate?

These are pressing questions. They ought to be answered, along with a multitude of other questions about how redefining marriage could affect our society, our religious freedoms, and especially our children, for generations to come.

Whatever your personal leanings on same-sex marriage may be, we ask that you join us in calling upon Prime Minister Martin to put his legislation on hold, in the absence of a consensus. Pushing ahead with it now, in the present climate, could divide our country and undermine our democracy. Please ask him instead to enable the discussion that must take place by calling a referendum on the issue.

If we delay or do nothing, same-sex marriage will soon be entrenched in law, with all its attendant consequences, for good or ill. If even a fraction of the dire results predicted by social scientists and family advocates then come to pass, that could be devastating. Surely the issue deserves sober second thought – for the sake of our kids.

Um, if Canada legalizes gay marriages, do you think many of the American homosexual population will move to Canada? Hmmm. Maybe that wouldn't be such a bad idea!

If homosexuals do move to Canada the result will be an increase in virility in both countries.

My guess would be: no.

I don't think homosexuals want to live in a sort of gay "normal" marriage so much as they want to destroy the very concept of marriage itself. Moving to Canada doesn't achieve that for them.

I agree. Once gay marriage is legal, gays will lose interest. The point is to destroy marriage and force complete acceptance of homosexuality. Once gay marriage is legal, homosexuality as a normal choice will be taught in schools and parents will have no standing to object. It is already being taught in some schools, but at least parents can object and change it if they care enough to try.

That's it in a nutshell, I could not have said it better myself.

If you want on/off the list let me know.

School indoctrination is the only method of homosexual "pro-creation" (AKA recruitment), so there is nothing really stopping anything this class of degenerates can do to get your kids to believe that their mental disease is normal, and that if you think anything otherwise, you suffer from "homophobia" and should be roundly objected to.

Remember this post?

Your only refuge is home schooling or religious education (beware "celibate" priests).

Good luck avoiding the onslaught of the perverts.

Good post, before my time though. I'm just a newbie on FR.
