WHAT THE FUCK????

SCUMBAG STEPHEN HARPER.

Wow. Thats some amazingly fucked up bullshit.

Right?

Seriously...? ._. Well there goes my plans....*sighs* that makes me incredibly depressed...

The article it's self, like many GLTBQ magazines is a bit over dramatic, but the fact that it's now....gone..Is immensely distressing and depressing.

Wellp isn't this going to make them loose money? Because I know a pretty good number of Gays go to Canada to marry and now they are just gonna say fuck it and not go. Good Job Canada

It's not so much that he cares about the money as much as he probably thinks it's "immoral" or some shit.

This is why I dislike conservatives, they always want to add religion, their own religion into things and ignore everyone else's ideas and opinions :/ Can we just skip to the day where Gays are finally accepted...

I don't think its religion in this case with this"thing" there's lots of people that hate gays just because they can... its still stupid though

This.

What ever happened to secular governements?
o.o; Or at least.. Non-judging.

*There's a difference between non-religious and anti-religious.

Fucked up shit going on. More to say when I get to a keyboard.

Great I can't get married in the united states and now canada... anyone can tell me were I can marry now this sucks!

You can get married in New York, they allow it :3

That's very far but glad to know *hugs*

If i am correct Iowa allows it too, which would be closer for you, but you might wanna double check *hugs* ^^

Massachusetts has legalised gay marriage.

This makes me ashamed to live in this country, I believe all marriages should be allowed, this is very discriminating and wrong to make gay marriage illegal and disallowed, I sure hope this is changed in the future.

so much for canadians being super laid back?

and yeah that guy is a bastard,

like he knows anything about love, soulless peice of shit

infact, that now makes him the same as africa, where in africa gays are killed/ hunted on site,

well done you self absorbed peice of shit!

Wait a minute.

This is different.

It's not that gay marriage is illegal.
What the thing says is that you can't travel to Canada to get married..
I think.. o.o;

I read the article you provided and that seems to be the case.

Yes, that's just not right. It's stupid! Is that the best you can do with your majority, Mr. Harper? Get out of Sussex Drive!

It's absolutely fuckin' retarded.

Can't complain too much though. o.o; The world IS moving forward. Not too much longer now before everything is a bit more "liberal"..

Thats disgusting, i'm straight myself but i still think same sex marriage should be legal. Feel really sorry for gay couples in Canada who are or want to get married.

If it helps anyone here I have the list of states that you can get married Massachusetts, Connecticut, Iowa, Vermont and New Hampshire. California is a maybe... I hope though

Yoou can in ct? Wow I've lived here my whoole life and thought you couldnt. Shows how much I know

Its okay I don't keep track of news here either I just look it up glad to help you a bit

Glad im in MA where 3/4 of the state population is all for gay marriage, i know MA wont ever outlaw it, but Canada doing it is just plain fucked up

Thats fucked up

CANADA!!!!!!!!! NOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WELL THAT DOES IT!

Wow. So you wake up one day and, "Oh no, it seems you were divorced."
That's fucking garbage.

That's it, We're moving to Australia!

I'm tired of living here in the US!

OMGOhNoes!

This is just absurd. >w<

As horrifying as this sounds now it will not be able to be passed in law by government. The Canadian government would be infringing on the human rights of its citizens if it was passed. What will occur is that it will be seen as an infringement of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms and be squashed. I will try to see my teacher tomorrow who is a lawyer to see what he feels will occur.

This is so stupid. If 2 people are in love, and over 18, why couldn t they get maried? It s their choice, not everyone else. You don t like gay's? ok, i m cool with it but don t try to make that illegal. Goes the same for lesbians.

did we build a moon base yet, because I would love to live on it right about now.

I'm actually quite curious what political factor was breathing down Harpers neck for him to make a very backwards decision like this .....

I'm not wondering if it's not something along the lines of how some places in Vegas wont marry certain couples due to their home country / nationality...

I think Amsterdam has this too ... not recognizing marriage legally if it's performed there for out-of country couples...


Still.. this IS quite dismaying for quite a few people .... tho it would make a modicum of morbid sense ... if it's not legal where ever some one may be .. it's just not legal..... so what would be the point for the couple to come to Canada, if it'd never be recognized back home anyways ...

Sorry if I misread some of that article, I've been up for a long time today and very tired. To my understanding this only applies to couples who got married in Canada but do not reside here. I didn't think it said anything about gay Canadian couples couldn't marry. I mean no disturbance if I am completely wrong about this as it's late and I'm very tired. Could be that I read it wrong or missed a part but sounds to me like Canadian gays can still marry.

I did some reading up on this the other day. I believe it applies specifically to people who previously got married in Canada who reside in (or are citizens of?) other places which do not recognize gay marriage. This all came about from a couple's attempt to get a divorce here, then being told they could not because they lived somewhere which did not recognize their marriage, despite getting married previously and paying the fees associated with licensing and whatnot.

I'd class it less as hostile government policy and more as an issue of a legal grey area resulting in a boneheaded move by some court official that backfired when people were willing to fight on the issue. Thus I get the impression that people are blowing it somewhat out of proportion, as much as I'd like to nail down the Conservatives over it. <a href="http://www.reuters.com/article/2012/01/13/us-marriage-idUSTRE80B20U20120113">This article</a> implies that regardless of any potential fishy intentions leading up to this point, the government is not interested furthering any controversy over the matter and will be clarifying the legislation to ensure these marriages are fully recognized within Canada regardless of the homeland of the people involved. Though we'll see how things actually pan out over the next few weeks, fingers crossed.

This hasn't changed my feelings about Steve, about whom you can read all sorts of fascinating details at http://shitharperdid.ca/

HTML FAILLLL why can't I edit or at least preview my post, FA? Yeah I'm a noob. Anyway, here is the proper clickable link to the article I referenced.

Well that seriously sucks. At least those that are residence of Canada aren't affected. But it's still not fair to all those that went there to get married.

That dipshit got me in trouble last night. >:C

It's time to overthrow the Prime Minister.
