Gay Marriage In Canada Preserved!

[bjarvis]

The House of Commons in the federal Parliament of Canada voted at 3:25 PM this afternoon on a resolution whether to revisit the issue of gay marriage. It would not have affected marriage per se, but could have opened the door to a renewed long & painful debate.

The vote was 175 to 123 against re-opening discussion. Gay marriage as an issue for Parliament is closed.

PS. Hmm... seven abstentions. I wonder who...

Well, that's good. I had hoped (or naively wished) that the vote would be more lopsided than that, but it's enough to be conclusive.
