Canada Puts Gay Marriage Back on the Table
Canada’s Parliament is bringing the divisive issue of same-sex marriage back to the floor of the Commons, a member of the government told Reuters Canada on Wednesday.

The ruling Conservatives promised the vote as part of their campaign in the run-up to the January 23 election, which they won with a minority of seats.

Pro gay-marriage activists said to Reuters Canada that they are confident that a majority of legislators will vote against reopening the issue.

Prime Minister Stephen Harper promised during the last election to hold a free vote that would give MPs a chance to revisit the question of gay and lesbian marriage.

1. Since Catkiller/homophobe Frist isn't running for president
maybe Harper will invite him up for some good ol' merkun-fundie gay-hatin' knowhow.
