    Well, from my perspective as a Canadian citizen. I CAN say that Gay Activism does in fact create this erosion to religious freedom. I see it first hand.

    It's alright to discriminate against Christians in the work place and in the public but it's not ok if it's the other way around. What would happen if Christians were to start screaming that they're being discriminated against because of who they are and what they believe and the life they choose to live.

    It seems to me that there is this double standard that's being created whereby Christians are losing their right for religious liberty. But in part, I don't know much about the US but as I've said before I think the US has been more vocal in fighting for religious freedom.

    I know Canada as what's called The Cry Canada. The web site has a pretty cool video on it. I just love the video. It also places within me hope to see revival come to Canada.

    But here's a question that I've often pondered....

    Would you believe that giving same-sex couples the ability to be protected legally in their union to be redefining marriage?

    Would society have to redefine marriage to give legal protection to same-sex couples?

    Thanks for adding a Canadian perspective. If you search my blog categories for marriage or public policy you will see what I have written in the past on the issue and that will answer your ending questions. Especially the older posts.

    Perhaps, maybe .... I seem to read through a lot not just your blog but nothing seems to quite answer my questions. At least in a way that seems satisfactory. I see opinions. I see opinions that some people base from Judeo-Christian morals. I see people enter into moral debates and often times with little regard of the other person. I've made that mistake a number of times myself when voicing my opinion on what I believe to be moral and what's not moral. It's trying to get into the head of a Republican or Conservative that can't seem to be moved. That could actually be a good thing in many ways.

    Thanks :)

    Dear Author,

    I am contacting you on behalf of Yes2Marriage.org, the campaign to p rotect marriage between one man and one woman in Florida. Thank you for posting support of Amendment 2 in the past on your blog or writing an editorial supporting Amendment 2. This will be a very close vote in Florida and we need a lot of help and support from writers and bloggers like yourself if the truth about Amendment 2 is going to get out to Florida voters.

    We are organizing a “Blog and Editorial Writing Team” to help get accurate information about Amendment 2 out to the public. Would you please consider serving on the Yes2Marriage.org Blog and Editorial Team? Can you please provide me with an email address so we can send you breaking news and updates during these final 2 months of the campaign? Our opponents have close to 3 million dollars to spend spreading misinformation and lies about the Marriage Protection Amendment. That is why we must work strategically with you and other bloggers to correct that deception and make sure people understand that Amendment 2 does one thing only: it protects the definition of marriage between one man and one woman.

    I hope to hear from you soon because I want you to be one of the first to hear and report on some of the exciting developments with the Yes2Marriage.org campaign in the coming weeks. You will also want to visit www.Yes2Marriage.org regularly for vital updates. Thanks again for the important role you play in getting the facts and truth out to the public. You may contact me at rappelo1@aol.com.
