Quote of the day: one for Mark’s collection
“At the end of the day, no argument in favour of exclusion can withstand what people see with their own eyes - that it is wrong to treat people they care about in a way that diminishes their personal choice.”
Alex Munter, the national spokesman for Canadians for Equal Marriage.
He spoke as the Canadian House of Commons passed a bill granting same-sex couples equal rights to those in traditional marriages.
Canada became the third country, behind Belgium and the Netherlands, to put the liberal fetish for “rights” and “personal choice” above the practical politics of promoting the known best medium for raising whole, contented human beings.
