Entry: Marriage, Freedom, Discrimination Link: http://www.takimag.com/blogs/article/marriage_freedom_discrimination#21866 Post contents: Church groups in my nation unsuccessfully resisted gov't-approved "gay marriage" two years ago (it is now legal in Canada) because of the real fear that pastors and priests would one day be commanded to officiate in these ceremonies, or else face the wrath of human rights tribunals. The Justice Minister at the time dismissed these fears but refused to provide legal protection for padres who might turn down the chance to bless these unions. After all, perhaps the Minister thought, Canadians are too moderate and compassionate to use these tribunals against refuseniks in the church. Ahem. Sent at: 2008 07 09
