EXACTLY! PANDORA’S BOX IS NOW WIDE OPEN.

Daphne Gilbert, a law professor at the University of Ottawa, said the argument promised by Mr. Blackmore’s lawyer is predictable but without merit. The monogamous aspects of formal same-sex relationships are “actually in keeping with our view on marriage,” Prof. Gilbert said

So who’s view of Marriage wins? I guess it is anyone’s guess..
If Marriage means everything then it means nothing.

If Marriage means everything then it means nothing.

Well said.

Daphne Gilbert, a law professor at the University of Ottawa, said the argument promised by Mr. Blackmore’s lawyer is predictable but without merit. The monogamous aspects of formal same-sex relationships are “actually in keeping with our view on marriage,” Prof. Gilbert said.

You gotta love Professor Gilbert's "view". She arrogates to herself, not to the people (since I assume just as in the U.S., gay marriage in Canada has never been approved by the people but instead established by court fiat) the wisdom to come up with a new "human right" that not only overthrows every tradition since the dawn of man but also flies in the face of just plain common sense. Then she insists only her "view of marriage" is correct!

I also wonder if even this "view of marriage" could be remarkably flexible, changing dramatically when faced with the much more substantial case of millions of Muslims now residing in North America instead of the relatively puny population of fundamentalist Mormons.
