This From Canada

Politicians are fearful of taking on this debate. Yet it must happen. Marriage is between one man and one woman. In the US, this issue needs to be put to a constitutional amendment vote sooner rather than later. Or pehaps our genetic tampering will make the problem moot?

'Everybody I've talked to is getting just hundreds of letters and calls about it,' admits Liberal MP Roger Gallaway, who said that his riding office has been overwhelmed by constituents upset that the courts seem to be in charge of the country's definition of marriage, not federal politicians.

'People are frustrated. It's fine to say that this is about churches.

But it's not about churches; it's about an attack on the system of law making and public policy making in this country. We might as well fold up Parliament and let the judges run things.'
