The same-sex survival guide
How to defend traditional wedded bliss
By Lorrie Goldstein—For the Toronto SunThe next few months are going to be dangerous ones for those of us who support the traditional definition of marriage as the union of one man and one woman.
Herewith then, a survival guide for avoiding the slings and arrows of Paul Martin, Jack Layton and the liberal commentariat.
(1) Beware of any journalist who claims that he or she knows what a future Supreme Court will do on any given issue such as: “The Supreme Court will never force religious institutions to marry same-sex couples against their will.” Journalists pretending to be legal eagles are like pit bulls pretending to be brain surgeons. You don’t want to be around to see the results.
(2) In any discussion of same-sex marriage in the liberal media, count on their side to be represented by 134 constitutional lawyers and 268 spokesmen for Egale Canada, and our side to be represented by Billy Bob Baggins of Backwater, Sask. and the Very Rev. Homer Phobia of the First Church of Hairy Muffins.(3) Avoid, at all costs, the CBC. If they come at you with a microphone, run.
(4) Expect Liberals to say they know you’re personally struggling with this difficult issue about 10 minutes before they call you a bigot.
(5) Expect NDPers to skip straight to the bigot part.
(6) Expect to be portrayed as part of a dwindling minority of Neanderthals who would have kept slaves in another life, even though, as a COMPAS poll this week confirmed yet again, Canadians favour retaining the traditional definition of marriage by a margin of almost two to one over those who want to change it.
