"any restriction to same-sex marriage to be unconstitutional" July 12th 2002 Toronto, Ontario, Canada Eugene Hyun | Aug 2nd, 2002
"Toronto - An historic judgement was delivered today at Osgoode Hall, when a decision from a three-justice panel was released which unanomously declared any restriction to same-sex marriage to be unconstitutional. The court gave the Canadian government up to 24 months to take legislative action to remedy the issue and declared that any remedy has to treat gays and lesbians with full equality. They declared an end to treating gay & lesbian families as second class."
I'm very happy for the city of Toronto on its ruling. Now it is up to the Ontario (provincial) and Canadian government.

Where's the love? Racquel Merritt | Oct 14th, 2003
I loved your article, and have often times questioned the same questions you addressed. America bases itself on equality and freedom yet there are so many of us still living in captivity. And many religions voice themselves on love and brotherhood, but they are quick to disown homosexuals. I am not a lesbian, but i think everyone deserves the right to be treated with respect, reguardless of their sexual preference, race or anything else. I just ask our nation, where is the love?

As a heterosexual person, I dont want to be homosexual but after reading this I dont oppose to it as much as I used to. I think lesbians and gays should get the same rights as heterosexuals but they dont. Same-sex couples aren't allowed to get married and therefore, they dont have the same and equal rights as people who are "straight". This is probably becasue tradidtion defines marriage as a union between a man and a woman for the purpose of rasing children. This statment about "tradition" will soon no longer work. These "tradition" excuses also opposed against abolishing slavery, allowing women to vote, interracial marriage, women serving in the military and African-Americans to join sport teams. Shouldn't homosexuals enjoy what heterosexuals enjoy in thier relationships? This does not nessasarly mean that all churches have to let lesbians and gays marry. The law heterosexuals are not looking for is the right to get married im any church tehy want but the actual right to be a legal union and the benfits provided to couples from the government. People agree on equailty, like african-americans having the same rights as white people but they dont agree on homosexuals getting married? This makes no sense. You cannot agree to one strand of equlity and not to another. This is a question I am asking the global community: shouldn't homosexuals be treated with dignity and respect? Don't they still have hearts? This is discrimination and it's wrong. Fight for justice.

That puts it into perspective quite nicely. I wouldn't recomend it for discussions with just anyone, however; some people take their beliefs about serious topics to a very violent level... 0.0

Hi! I liked the honesty of your writing, and the questions you have posed. I dont know what is right and what is wrong...but maybe its high time we humans came out of our comfort zones...

I really don understand how same sex marriages can work?? as in it sounds funny and awkward to me, and infact the bible quotes and even says, "a woman shall leave her parents and join her hasband to become one" then how do we say this??, its just doesn't make sense. To me i can consider same sex as friends but not marriage partner for God's sake. God said Go to the world and multiply, how do same sex couples then do this?? Nway all in all its an individual decision, but i think the world is coming to an end, THIS ARE THE LAST DAYS
