[quote:4ae742cddf="游客"]謝謝你的回復. 用游客只是怕注冊的麻煩, 反正游客也可以發貼的,倒不是對你不尊敬. 就算取了個名字, 你還是照樣不會認識我. 話雖如此,下次我取個名字又何妨?
人們對於自己不熟悉的東西有擔心是常情, 讀了你的回復我理解你的擔心和憂慮. 如果關心相關報道就會發現, 現在一些研究經過跟蹤調查已經證明同性家庭收養的孩子長大後和通常家庭的孩子一樣心理健康. 其實就算是通常意義上家庭的孩子, 出的變態凶手,人格不健全者還少嗎? 關鍵還是要看家庭雙親如何教育.
此外,"加拿大的同性婚姻合法化後,一個不同的詞匯的定義,享受的應該是完全相同的權利", 對此我表示懷疑. 既然權利完全相同, 就沒有必要再區分開來. 否則長久以後,難保不淪為二等婚姻名詞. 我想,同性婚姻合法化的運動者正是預見到了這一點所以才要求使用相同的一個婚姻名詞.
感謝你對同性婚姻合法化的支持! 你以前的文中有我說的歧視, 那是因為你缺乏了解, 但我始終相信你是一個出色的評論家, 所以我才願意和你心平氣和的交流.畢竟良好的交流是互相啟發促進最好途徑.
最後我要說的是,能夠生活在加拿大這片更加寬容的美麗土地上, 是我的幸運. 我為加拿大的平等寬容而自豪.[/quote:4ae742cddf]
[b:4ae742cddf]Ottawa can't ensure religious protection in all same-sex fights: Cotler[/b:4ae742cddf]

OTTAWA -- Liberals will tweak their contentious same-sex marriage bill but[b:4ae742cddf] can't guarantee ironclad religious protections, admits Justice Minister Irwin Cotler[/b:4ae742cddf].
Churches won't be forced to perform gay weddings, he says.
But [b:4ae742cddf]it's beyond his legal reach to protect provincial marriage commissioners or religious organizations who turn away same-sex couples, he conceded Wednesday.[/b:4ae742cddf]
"That's right," Cotler said, when asked if his hands are tied by jurisdictional limits.
Ottawa has the authority to define marriage, but provinces have the power to solemnize weddings.
A range of conflicts has already emerged.
Human rights challenges are underway in cases where religious groups refused to rent halls for gay celebrations.
[b:4ae742cddf]Marriage commissioners in several provinces, including Manitoba and B.C., have stepped down after receiving provincial orders to perform same-sex unions against their beliefs.

"These are very significant issues," says Conservative justice critic Vic Toews, a vocal opponent of the bill.
"We are opening up a Pandora's box, and this minister has steadfastly refused (to concede) that there are any problems.
"Now, as the evidence is piling up, he's beginning to wake up."
The bill is expected to pass the Commons in a vote as early as next week. It must also clear the Senate which plans to sit into the summer to consider it along with two budget bills.
If it becomes law, Canada would be just the third country in the world after the Netherlands and Belgium to legalize gay marriage.
Toews and other critics say crucial details must be worked out before the bill is enshrined in law.
He says Cotler must "deal with each of the provinces in terms of enacting corresponding legislation that will protect religious organizations and those who object to same-sex marriage for reasons of conscience."
Derek Rogusky, spokesman for Focus on the Family Canada, says those who oppose gay weddings are uneasy.
"Faith-based groups are not all that confident if their rights are going to be left up to the courts," said the senior vice-president of the conservative family values group.
Equality protections tend to trump religious freedoms in legal fights over gay rights, he said.
The divisive debate continues to expose deep rifts among political parties and Canadians in general.
Nearly three dozen Liberals are against changing the definition of marriage to allow same-sex weddings.
Former Liberal Pat O'Brien's decision this week to bolt the party because of his concerns about the bill pushed the minority government to consider amendments.
Cotler says any changes must be consistent with the need to balance equality rights and religious freedom.
