Letter to Justice Minister
Dec. 14th, 2004 10:04 pmOooo, I'm in a snit tonight.
Dear Minister Cotler:
I read in the Toronto Star that you will be allowing civic officials the option of refusing to provide equal services to same-sex couples in the area of marriage, despite your claim that the government sees this as an equality and human rights issue. Can you please explain for me the difference between refusing to marry same-sex couples, and refusing to marry interracial couples? Why is one acceptable to your government and not the other?
I await your reply.
Sincerely
Cameron MacLeod
