GAY TRUTH

OTTAWA, February 20, 2012 ( LifeSiteNews.com ) – Canadian federal Justice Minister Rob Nicholson tabled legislation on February 17 to amend the Civil Marriage Act in order to allow foreign homosexual couples who parachute into Canada to take advantage of our same-sex “marriage” law to just as easily drop in for a divorce. Currently the law holds that foreign homosexuals who have been married in Canada since 2004, when same-sex “marriage” was effectively legalized, are only considered wed under Canadian law if same-sex “marriage” is also recognized in their home country or state. The Canadian Divorce Act also states that couples who come to Canada to marry must live in the country for at least one year before they can obtain a divorce. Rob Nicholson Bill C-32  proposes an amendment to the Civil Marriage Act that would consider the “marriages” of foreign same-sex couples who travel to Canada for the ceremony to be considered valid in Canada, “even if one or both of the non-residen

TORONTO, Ontario , February 14, 2012 ( LifeSiteNews.com ) – Should Canada ’s Christians have the right to defend their beliefs without losing their job? Damian Goddard Damian Goddard plans to put this question front-and-centre in May as he heads to the Canadian Human Rights Commission . Goddard was  fired  as the host of  Connected  on Rogers Sportsnet in May 2011 after he defended the long-standing definition of marriage through his Twitter account. He told LifeSiteNews on Monday that while he misses the job, he stands by the tweet now as much as ever. “I tremendously miss being a broadcaster.  But I will never regret tweeting the words ‘I completely and wholeheartedly support the traditional and TRUE meaning of marriage.’  Never,” he said. A devout Catholic and father of two, Goddard says he hopes his case will help spark a renewed battle against same-sex “marriage” in Canada after the unions were  legalized  in 2005. Though Canada’s majority Conservative government  opposed  sa

OTTAWA, Ontario , January 13, 2012 ( LifeSiteNews.com ) – In the wake of outrage over a government lawyer’s argument that same-sex “ marriages ” conducted for non-residents in Canada are invalid, Canada’s Justice Minister has declared that they are indeed legal and is pledging to fill the “legislative gap” that he says currently prevents those couples from obtaining a divorce in Canada . “I want to make it clear that in our government’s view, these marriages are valid,” said Minister Rob Nicholson , at one time rated pro-family, on Friday. Minister Rob Nicholson Furor erupted among media and activists Thursday after the Globe and Mail reported that Justice Department lawyers had argued that non-residents who came to Canada for a same-sex “marriage” are only legally “married” if same-sex “marriage” is recognized in their own jurisdiction. The statement came in a divorce case involving a couple hailing from Florida and the U.K. who were “married” in Toronto in 2005. Pundits, homosexu

OTTAWA, January 12, 2012 ( LifeSiteNews.com ) - A Federal Department of Justice lawyer has told a court that same-sex foreign couples that came to Canada to “marry” because their home countries do not recognize homosexual “marriage” are not in fact legally “married.” Federal lawyer Sean Gaudet made the statement at a court hearing into a divorce application by a lesbian couple, one from Florida and the other from the UK , who were “married” in Toronto in 2005, but never lived in Canada, and are now seeking a divorce, according to  a Globe and Mail report . Interim Liberal Leader Bob Rae Gaudet informed the court that foreign homosexuals who have been married in Canada since 2004, when same-sex “marriage” was effectively legalized, are only considered wed under Canadian law if same-sex “marriage” is also recognized in their home country or state, and that the Canadian Divorce Act states that couples who come to Canada to marry must live in the country for at least one year before th

Image via Wikipedia Canada ’s ruling Conservative party re-confirmed its support for true marriage at its national convention Saturday, but at the same time appears to have removed the onus from its newly-elected majority government from acting on the issue. The party’s constitution had said that a Conservative government “will support” legislation defining marriage as the union of one man and one woman. At their national convention in Ottawa on Saturday, party delegates voted to reword the policy to state that the Conservative Party simply “supports” legislation defining marriage as the union of one man and one woman. While the vote reconfirms the party’s support for true marriage, there are concerns that the change signals a softening in their stance, especially when combined with Prime Minister Stephen Harper ’s vow on the campaign trail in April that he had “no intention” of opening debate on same-sex “marriage” or abortion. “Our agenda is the same agenda with a majority g
