In Favour of Marriage

Well I just discovered that being an occasional blogger has its problems. For instance, I haven't logged on in a while and totally forgot my login and password sequence. Of course, due to age induced short term memory loss this could happen at anytime.It has been a wonderful sunny and warm (15C) weekend here. Today managed to do a little puttering around the outside of the house in prep for even warmer days when I can sit outside and master the role of 'porch monkey'.

Yesterday's highlight was a trip downtown to participate in the march supporting the traditional definition of marriage. I'm glad we went. I guess the humourous part was that we were two divorcees, living common law, marching in support of marriage. I guess my main reason for being there is not that I am against gays having unions, I just don't want it called marriage. Changing the definition of marriage for the majority, just to satisfy a very small minority doesn't make sense to me. All rights attributed to marriage are already provided to gay unions. There is no need to change the meaning of marriage. I specifically don't think that it is right that, if Bill 38 passes from now on when I am asked 'are you married' the answer will no longer imply to the opposite sex.Well, all in all it was a great day with beautiful sunshine and a nice lunch in Darcy McGees.Picks can be seen at http://www.flickr.com/photos/withatwist/sets/221255/
