On Gay Marriage in Canada

I hadn’t planned to blog on this issue at all, but then I noted this blog entry on the subject, which hits on a facet I haven’t heard mentioned before – but he’s got a good point. I remember reading the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms when it came to being in 1982. I don’t remember which section or clause prompted it, but I remember thinking at the time that this Charter would one day be used to defend gay marriage in Canada, which the Supreme Court of Canada said was okey-dokey as of Thursday. The thing about what Colby Cash is saying is that it has the same “thin edge of the wedge” kind of ring to it – maybe it will be a further 22 years, maybe not – but this ruling could be used to defend polygamy.
