ANOTHER COUNTRY

Yes, Canada now has marriage rights for all its citizens, equally. I don’t know what’s more remarkable: that it happened or that no one really noticed. In a few years, I confidently predict this will be a complete non-issue. What will be dicussed is why so many otherwise reasonable people got so enraged by the prospect of gays being brought fully into the fold of family values and social responsibility. (This piece by Julian Sanchez on gay adoption shows how irrational and hostile to children that opposition in America can now be.)
