I thought I supported that...
I've always in theory, supported Same-Sex marriage, or at the very least, some sort of 'equality' in terms of benefits, survivor-rights, etc.
And maybe its just because I'm blindly partisan, but my view keeps shifting back and forth lately. When a Liberal MP speaks out against SSM, I generally feel sort of impressed in that liberal's "abilitity to take a stand", "speak out against the party line", etc. I really don't know why! Because I'm actually on record supporting SSM.
And even when the conservatives are standing up against SSM, I generally hope that they "win". When I step back, and think about the situation logically, I always go back to supporting the legislation, but when I'm "not thinking actively" I always fall back into a feeling of hoping that the SSM legislation fails.
Maybe its just because I'm bitter enough to hope that poor Paul Martin always fails? I guess that's basically it.

Hehe. My own opinion is that the Government should get out of the marriage business all together. Marriage survived thousands of years of no government regulation of relationships - relationships will likely thrive if beurocrats stopped wanting to regulate them.
