Gay Marriage on its Way in Canada

The final obstacle standing in the way of homosexual marriage in Canada has now been defeated. The land mark Supreme Court decision gives the Canadian Government the right to change the definition of marriage allowing marriage for both homosexuals and heterosexuals.

The decision will move Canada into the same ranks as Netherlands and Belgium allowing homosexual marriage, although Spain and possibly Germany will join soon.

Members of parliament are expected to back the change early next year, although church officials will not be required to marry such couples.

The Prime Minister also stated he will not allow Balkanization across his country. "I think we are a very mature nation, I think we can undertake that kind of debate," he said, Canada should not have "two classes of citizens."
