There's nothing that warms the cockles of my cold, snarky heart quite like a wedding.
Especially one that demonstrates why Canada really is a pretty great place, and one that a big chunk of the Conservative party would have liked to prevent.
Congratulations to Mr. Brison and Mr. St Pierre.
This is disappointing.
It's particularly disappointing given that some Anglican churches have already been performing the blessings. If they're required to stop now, it would be a sad step backwards.
I think it's worth noting that it wasn't ordinary Anglicans, or even ordinary priests, who voted against the idea of blessing same-sex unions (not even marriages, mind you) -- it was the bishops, the folks at the top of the church power structure. I'm not entirely sure what to make of that, but it is suggestive. I suppose at the very least it suggests that if they have the vote again in a few years, the outcome might be a different one. (Never hurts to be optimistic, right?)
