Stephen Harper has made his personal views in opposition to same-sex alleged 'marriage' crystal clear on countless occasions including voting against it, along with all but 3 members of the CPC caucus, when the former Liberal government brought the issue before the House of Commons.

Personally, I'd just as soon not see it come up for a vote until after the next election when we'll hopefully then have a strong majority in Parliament.

My reasons are twofold:
Our government is making important progress in numerous other equally important areas (e.g. introducing many new anti terrorism & anti crime laws which are expected to soon pass into law) to deal with the overall distraction of fighting a battle which it may well not win on this issue. which may well not win

As a practicing conservative Catholic, I'm no doubt just as opposed to every aspect of the radical homosexual & feminist agendas - as well as to this one particular facet of it - as you are. However, for the reasons above & because a Parliamentary loss on a vote on this issue would amount to a massive setback, I rather wait until I'm absolutely certain we have the numbers to win.

If a vote were held in the House tomorrow, its result is currently literally too close to call so, I'm prepared to wait until the odds are better & I'll be surprised if Stephen Harper isn't as well.
