Canada is a nice place to live, the people are generally friendly and understanding towards most ways of thinking and living life, we are generally tolerant and willing to accept what others might not.

Millions of my fellow Canadians are currently trying to wrap their minds and traditional thinking minds around the concept of redefining traditional marriage to include emotional and sexual relationships between individuals of the same sex, Mother Nature must be shaking her head, in Canada.

Traditional concepts of relationships and marriage have been the corner stone holding life and society in place for thousands of years around the world and this concept is becoming more exceptional every day. The need for marriage being driven by the need for the human race to procreate and continue the species has always been as basic as eating and excreting is for life and the definition of true marriage has always been a relationship between a man and a woman.

Previous and currently conducted studies all indicate that the best and most secure structure for the nurturing of children in human society is the traditional family unit of mother, father and progeny.

The liberal view in Canada of same-sex marriage being one of indivisible human rights has been seen as a mistake by many Canadians, no national or international body tasked with determining issues of human right has ever included the denial of same-sex rights as being a human rights violation and I doubt they ever will.

Do Canadians’ believe that deigning same-sex marriages constitutes abuse, torture, unlawful imprisonment, doubtful, but maybe with time our empathy for others will allow us to come to understand fellow humans deciding on a less traditional life style.
Are there going to be biological consequences for the human race due to untraditional choices such as same-sex marriage, probably, we just won’t know what they are until they hit us hard.

Many Canadians’ will be watching the growing power of the same-sex marriage pro-groups in Canada and probably wishing to keep their children away from such thoughts and I can hardly blame them, its hard enough to raise children in this world without having to deal with such biological-time bombs. Considering the liberal outlook of many of their fellow humans they will probably have to spend the time to make sure they explain the concept of same-sex marriages to their children, as parents today must with many controversial and possibly harmful concepts.

Parents in Canada have a battle ahead of them for the minds and thoughts of their children and the concept of same-sex marriages is just one of many issues the future will be throwing at them.

@Wale - Can you explain how the same-sex marriage would debase the institution of opposite-sex marriage? Can you prove that one person's marriage actually impact on other's? Can you explain it because I just want to know your views in detail.

Life is what life is, we can’t always fight everything we see as uncomfortable to us, tolerance is a necessity for life to continue on Earth, can we really rid the planet of everyone we dislike, or don’t want to know is around, hardly. Live and let live, but I can’t help but think that it will have consequences biologically for humankind down the road somewhere.
Change begats change, a absolute of life for sure, but something that needs to be monitored just the same.

Canadian government has come to understand that equal marriage doesn’t harm anyone. It is ok to make life better for some people. A generous and inclusive explanation of marriage actually strengthens the institution of marriage. Excluding same-sex couples from civil marriage is discomfort, resistance to change and moral judgment. Let them live how they want to live.

The institution of marriage in these countries is already in a free-fall downward spiral. Giving permission to same-sex marriage may have actually slowed the decline of heterosexual marriage in these countries.

It's ok, they accepted the same sex marriage but what about the question of divorce in such marriages? Divorce is an inevitable consequence of marriage, and divorces between gay partners would definitely raise legal and ethical questions in society.

The institution of marriage was created in the society to protect and promote procreation. It was aimed to promote a better standard of living throughout a child's rearing period. Now, the concept of same sex marriage would open up the institution for non-traditional purposes, it would certainly debase the institution of opposite sex marriage.

How can you go ahead and give a formal sanction to same sex marriage? Surprisingly, people here are talking about same sex marriage as an institution but I am sorry to say that no social concept until date defines same sex marriage as an institution. An institution comes across something which is generally accepted in the society irrespective the legal obligation. Here it is the law which sanctions same sex marriage but it does not mean that the society has accepted it .Thus, as per social rationale, it would be good to define it as same sex wedding, rather than impending to it as an institution.

Why are we so perplexed about same-sex marriages? I mean cant we just live and let live? It is time that we embrace such decisions with full maturity. I cannot help but praise Canadians on this front.
