Well, less actually.
Way less.
Conservative MP Jason Kenney says gays have every right to marry whoever they want -- as long as it isn't someone of the same sex......"The fact is that homosexuals aren't barred from marrying under Canadian law,'' Kenney said.....Former NDP MP Svend Robinson -- an outspoken gay rights advocate and Canada's first publicly declared gay MP -- was once married to a woman, noted Kenney. He also said that NDP MP Libby Davies was once married to a man.
Davies, the Vancouver MP who is openly lesbian, corrected the record Sunday to say she's never been married, but did live with her male partner for 24 years until he died of cancer in 1997.
"I thought I'd heard it all,'' said Davies. "I wouldn't expect too much out of Jason Kenney on this (subject), but this is absolutely absurd.
"If there was an award for making an idiotic statement, this guy would get it.''
Perhaps we could pay for it with a copper slug instead.
