(Photo credit: Wikipedia ) The Bank of Montreal, Canada ’s fourth largest bank, has begun a process of requiring the businesses with which it works to conform to its pro-homosexual “diversity” standards. In an  October 9th email  to its legal suppliers, leaked by the Institute for Canadian Values, the Bank of Montreal ( BMO ) wrote that to show its “commitment to diversity and inclusion” it will no longer do business with law firms whose diversity standards are “not compatible” with the bank’s.

Don't like gay marriage ? Don't get one. My gay marriage doesn't change anything about your straight marriage . We're not altering the definition of marriage; we're expanding it. These new rights don't take away yours. So don't try to deny them to us . The startling rise in public approval for gay marriage depends on such simple appeals to intuition.

Besides, what consenting adults do in the privacy of their bedrooms is their business alone. To our highly individualistic Western culture , only libertarian arguments make any sense, even to many Christians. Personally we might say homosexuality is a sin; but what right do we have to impose our values on anyone else? If they aren't harming anyone else, then who can deny their gay marriages equal protection under the law? .

Regardless of the health statistics, relationship breakdown and multiple defacto relationships strewn across the landscape. There is no doubt that civil celebrants offer marriage services to the unsaved who do not wish to darken the walls of a church, because they have lived together in fornication and at some point want to legitimate their relationship often because someone maybe preganat. Some defacto's choose to use a cele
