| Message | I'd like to point out that the government allows all adults to enter into marriage contracts. If this bill passes, it would allow all couples except lesbian ones to divorce. This is bizzarre. I understand the Liberals proposed a change to that law, but those bills should have been combined to prevent the possible obsurdity of this bill passing while the other might fail. I urge all parties to vote no on this bill. |
