Every man and woman who are contemplating marriage know they have to plan for it. So how does one plan a “same-sex marriage?” How does Bill get to “marry” Bob? Or how does Jane get to “marry” Jill?
First of all, a “right” has to be created that makes this type of coupling acceptable. So what better place to start than with the Charter of Rights and Freedoms? This document can give “legitimacy” to whatever a judge decides is an imaginary “right” in the Charter. Therefore, you need a judge with a vivid imagination. Once you have that judge he goes to “work” and “reads in” sexual orientation into the Charter - even though the words have never been defined, and were never in the Charter - and presto, as the magicians used to say, the door has been opened for “same-sex marriage.”
But, preparing for marriage takes money as any family knows. So where does one get the money to now push for “same-sex marriage?” Easy. Go see the friendly supportive liberal government who will hand out huge dollops of taxpayers' money. Just call this money an early “wedding” present for you to get your “same-sex marriage” agenda into the courts.
Now you are in the court and a judge rules that the definition of marriage as between a man and a woman is unconstitutional and that it violates the Charter of Rights and Freedoms. And presto, another piece of judicial magic has made the words man and woman into gender neutral language. You no longer have a he or a she, but a Me and a Me. What amazing people these judges are. They can read things not written, see things that are unseen and change words into the absurd. You really do have the “law” on your side.
Next, there has to be a “law” to punish anyone who criticizes “sexual orientation,” even though the words are invented and unexplained. How can this be achieved? Very easy. A politician with a predilection for this type of behavior brings forth a Bill in parliament called the “Hate Crimes Bill.” Other sheepish politicians support the Bill and presto, free speech is on the way to being a “hate crime.” Now it’s back to the courts again.
You take your “same-sex marriage” proposal into the courts and - presto again, the magical judges produce out of their judicial hats a “right” to “equality” for this type of “marriage.” He can “marry” HE and she can “marry” SHE. And anybody who laughs tee, hee, hee might no longer be free. Because laughing is now a hate crime you see.
Next, it is time to celebrate. All upcoming marriages usually have a little celebration beforehand, either a girls night out or a stag night. So what could be nicer than to have a party with some of the judges who gave judicial approval to your “same-sex marriage.” After all, it is common courtesy to show one's appreciation for all the judicial magic produced from their Charter hats.
Next make sure the government does not appeal the work of the judicial magicians. For if there is no appeal then this is a done deal. Heck, the government gave you the money to bring your “marriage” case to court. So why would they appeal? Smart people these liberal politicians, that’s why some people call them devious. They must be on your side. But they claim the Charter and the judiciary has spoken and that your “marriage” is a “human right.”
Next, the politicians now have to give birth to a Bill in parliament that gives “respectability” to "man to man" or "woman to woman" “marriages.” No problem, the politicians just can’t wait to get your “wedding” up and running, and down the aisle. All other business in parliament takes a back seat just to get your “marriage” on the books. You really are getting special treatment for your “wedding.” Who said politicians were incompetent? The speed that these people are putting into getting your “marriage” solemnized is amazing.
Still, there are the usual party poopers who are against your “marriage,” sixty six percent of the people according to a poll. These people want a referendum and are opposed to traditional marriage being changed. Not to worry, most of the politicians, your friends in positions of power - and most of the media - will come to your aid and declare any opposition is an assault on “human rights.” The justice minister will also go to bat for you and declare: “Rights are rights are rights.” And what could be wrong with that statement? He is the “justice minister!”
Next the government who always like to be seen as “tolerant” and “fair” decide to appoint a committee to go around the country getting submissions on the “marriage” bill. It is a foregone conclusion the “marriage” bill will be passed, but just to make sure the liberal government stacks the committee with “marriage” supporters. Now you know with confidence, everything is being arranged for your “wedding” day.
At long last, your long courtship of the politicians and judges is reaching fruition. Soon you will be able to sing: “I’m marrying my Bob and he loves his Bill. Jane is also marrying her lovely Jill. Who would have believed this would come to pass? It’s not a fallacy, that the law is an ass. Now we must find an appropriate carriage, for it takes a lot of planning for a "same-sex marriage.'"
