Same-Sex Marriage a Civil Right? 'Vile and Disgusting' Said Harper | The Tyee

Same-Sex Marriage a Civil Right? 'Vile and Disgusting' Said Harper | The Tyee:

Okay. Here we are a dozen years later. Why hasn't Harper used the power of his majority government to bring his itched-for debate about same-sex marriage to Parliament by introducing legislation making such unions illegal again in Canada? After all, Harper has yet to proclaim that LGBT people deserve the same rights anyone else.

His zip-lipped reluctance to revive the fight probably has something to do with the fact that a strong majority of Canadians think same-sex unions should have the full legal weight of heterosexual marriages. Such support zoomed from 39 per cent in 2004 to 62 per cent in 2012, according to the polling firm Ipsos Reid.

Amazing what a civil rights struggle can accomplish, regardless of politicians who pander to a base on the wrong side of history.
