Ricky commented on the article |Manuel Berlanga's posts come down to one thing. He wants to discriminate. Marriage will always be wrong for Gays as it will make him feel less of a married person if is or should marry someone.
That's hardly a rational thought. The same argument allowed for Blacks to sit at the back of a bus, use separate bathrooms and swimming pools. It seemed to make some white people feel better and above someone, namely black people.
I'm not suggesting this person is racist, just pointing out that there is always a way to be irrational when it comes to recognizing someone else's attempt to exercise of their rights.
The other arguments he has posted are straw men. The idea that if Gays are permitted to marry then clergy will be forced to marry them comes from those in conservative religious circles as an attempt to inflame peoples passions.
No clergy or religion in Canada is compelled to perform marriages to anyone, let alone same-sex marriages. The Canadian law ensures that clergy or religions opposed to same-sex marriage for any reason can not be compelled to provide them.
Same-sex Marriages in Canada have been happening for several years now and guess what. No clergy or religion has performed a wedding for a same-sex couple or anyone else for that matter, that they did not want to perform.
