So supporters of traditional marriage from south of the 49th are supporting traditional marriage supporters here. Fantastic! Bring it on!
Of course, as reader John Spence (from CBCWatch.ca) points out, they must have run out of typewriter ribbon when writing that story because they didn’t mention anything at all about who’s supporting the gay ‘marriage’ industry, which despite the tiny numbers of gay people, is a huge industry—make no mistake about it.
The Gay ‘marriage’ industry gets supported by YOU—the Canadian taxpayer— and other groups who tow the liberal-left line.
An article by Real Women of Canada explains:
WHO IS FUNDING HOMOSEXUAL ACTIVISTS IN CANADA?
The Canadian Taxpayer
It seems that Canadian taxpayers, whether they like it or not, are generous funders of the homosexual activists.
The homosexual lobby group, EGALE, (Equality for Gays and Lesbians Everywhere), attributes generous financial support from the federally funded Court Challenges Program, which in turn is funded solely by the federal Heritage Department. EGALE refers to these two government agencies as its “Platinum” supporters. But that’s not all, Status of Women Canada also contributes to EGALE, as does the National Film Board, which recently completed a film in support of same-sex marriage. All this funding comes from the pockets of Canadian taxpayers.
Where would EGALE be without this support? Certainly not before the courts on a regular basis, seeking, from the obliging judges, legal recognition and privileges, such as benefits for their relationships, and legal sanction by “marriage” of their partnerships.
Also, where would the activists be without the Liberal government’s political support of these activists? The Liberal government stacked the House of Commons Justice Committee with homosexual sympathizers in order to pass NDP Svend Robinson’s motion against appealing the bizarre decision of Roy McMurtry’s Ontario Court of Appeal (see REALity, July/August 2003, “The Sordid Story of How the Same-sex Marriage Issue was Manipulated in Canada,” p.4). In 2003, the government completely reversed its policy from opposing same-sex marriage to total support of it, and the current Minister of Justice has stacked the Supreme Court of Canada with the hard-line feminist supporters, Judges Abella and Charron, to ensure that its own political agenda in support of same-sex marriage be approved. Further, the Liberals pushed through Parliament the notorious Bill C-250 that amends the Criminal Code to give special protection from so-called “hate propaganda” on the grounds of sexual orientation. This amendment will effectively shut down public debate on the homosexual issue and infringe freedom of religion and speech in Canada.
Homosexual activists have been successful on the political scene and in the courts only because of the unconditional support they receive from the Liberal government and its funding agencies.
Unions
With the funds they receive from compulsory union dues, Canadian unions are financially backing homosexual activists, and are also granting them special benefits and recognition in their collective agreements. EGALE lists as its “Gold” supporters, the following unions:
Canadian Auto Workers Union
BC Teachers’ Federation
Canadian Union of Public Employees
Elementary Teachers’ Federation of Ontario
Canadian Labour Congress
Canadian Media Guild
Health Sciences Association of BC
SE-UQAM (Le Syndicat des employees and employÃ
