"Homosexual unions are totally lacking in the biological and anthropological elements of marriage and family which would be the basis, on the level of reason, for granting them legal recognition. Such unions are not able to contribute in a proper way to the procreation and survival of the human race.
The possibility of using recently discovered methods of artificial reproduction, beyond involving a grave lack of respect for human dignity,(15) does nothing to alter this inadequacy."

The Knights and the lesbiansSounds like a revision to the Arthurian Legend.

The Knights, adhering to church teaching, which is against homosexual marriage, cancelled a rental contract that had been signed, returned the couple's deposit and paid for both the rental of a new hall and the reprinting of wedding invitations after Ms. Chymyshyn and Ms. Smith complained that invitations listing the hall's address for their reception had been mailed.

Knights of Columbus ~ private organization ~ members only.
Knights of Columbus Hall ~ private property - no dykes.

The real problem is the whole concept of laws against discrimination.
A free people doesn't need the some government bureaucrat to decide for them what is a "bona fide and justifiable reason" to discriminate. The should be able to buy, sell, rent, hire from whomever for whatever reason they wish.

"Canada is a country where minorities are protected"
Calling people a 'minority group' because they do evil deeds while the vast majority of people do not do evil deeds is a slap in the face of
legitimate minorities.

To: FixitGuy
Apparently the K of C weren't thinking either....they signed a rental agreement without knowing the particulars.
A simple "Who's is the lucky couple" might have saved some of this....

Ms. Smith as being comparable to a hypothetical case in which, if the Knights ran a daycare, they refused to accept the children of a lesbian couple.Maybe this could be solved by just informing the lesbian couple that the children will be taught Judeo/Christian moral values. As for rental of the hall, they shouldn't lose but I bet they do. Part of the coalition to legalize gay marriage are people who see it as an opportunity to suppress religion and morality. Many liberals view religion as the greatest evil (people who otherwise believe there is no such thing as good and evil -- figure that one out).

I think they knew exactly what they were doing. They wanted to make a big show and sue. They arent really stupid enough to not know what the Knights of Columbus was.
