Few Gays Opt to Marry

Despite the example set by these Royal Canadian Mounted Police officers, less than one-in-20 gays took advantage of Canada's decision to legalize marriage in June 2005, according to a census a year later.
Gays make up just 0.1% of all married couples, a proportion which is consistent with other countries that permit same-sex marriage.
In other words, the definition of the most important heterosexual institution was changed to satisfy one couple in one thousand.
This information is crucial to Americans where only Massachusetts permits same-sex marriage but as many as eleven other states are considering it.
In terms of numbers, Statistics Canada calculated that about one percent of the Canadian population are gay or bisexual, well below the estimates we normally hear. (StasCan Daily "Community Health Survey" , June 15 2004, p. 9) This works out to 316,900 people. The 2006 census found 7465 married same-sex couples, fewer than 15,000 men and women.
Roughly a quarter of Canadian gays (75,000) prefer "common law" relationships. There is no way to gauge their permanence or exclusivity.
The vast majority of homosexuals don't want gay marriage. It is being foisted on them and on society by elite social engineers using the media, government and a few activists. The goal is to undermine heterosexual marriage by obscuring its true character. The purpose is to destroy the family and render society more vulnerable to world government dictatorship by the central bankers.
GAYS DON'T WANT MARRIAGE
The majority of gays regard same-sex marriage as a diversion from more important issues.
This view is expressed by Gareth Kirby in an editorial in Capital Xtra, an Ottawa gay newspaper, Oct. 18, 2007.
"Remember the headlines...that claimed we were flocking to city hall and churches to get the deed done as courts legalized same-sex marriage in province after province? ...It was a lie. Very few among us are eager to embrace marriage rights...
"Didn't we just spend a decade and by some estimates $2 million to wage wage this fight? Didn't we just put all our other major issues virtually on ice because some couples, a few lawyers, and a couple of out-of-touch lobby groups decided that same-sex marriage was the only thing that really mattered...
"Marriage is a heterosexual institution designed by the church, endorse by the state, with the intention of controlling the sexuality of women and by extension, their husbands...
"I don't expect the wedding rate will pick up. We have something better in our relationships, something that allows for a variety of friendships, fuck buddies, lovers, sisters and ex's. We don 't put all the pressures on one person...
"We don't need the limitations of marriage. So we're taking a pass. But what waste of time and money, and a tragic diversion of focus, in that decade-long fight."
As Kirby suggests, being gay is about not marrying and being monogamous. It is farcical and tragic that heterosexual society should be sacrificed on the altar of gay marriage. Marriage-minded gays should be given a separate status with equal benefits and responsibilities.
THE MEDIA LOVES GAY MARRIAGE
The Canadian media has ignored the tepid gay response to marriage and tried instead to create the impression that traditional marriage is on the rocks. The fact the mass media is singing from an identical song sheet is further proof that it is directed by the central banking cartel.
In an article in The Hill Times (Sept. 24, 2007) Tom Korski writes:
[The media] "depicted gay Canadians enthusiastically embracing traditional roles at the exact moment the rest of society spirals into family dysfunction."
'Thank heavens for gay marriage,' wrote Globe and Mail columnist Margaret Went. 'Without it, the most ancient of our social institutions would be in even worse decline than it already is.'
Other journalists advised readers "the nuclear family is fading away," (Edmonton Sun) and that "same sex couples are taking the reins" (CTV.ca), or mocked the myth of the perfect family," (Vancouver Sun) and lamented "there is no such thing as traditional family anymore." (Moose Jaw Times Herald)
In one comically inelegant phrase CTV National's Lloyd Robertson told viewers, "If you're part of a so-called traditional family where the children are raised by a mother and father who are married, you seem to be in a declining breed." (End of Korski)
Meanwhile the gay lobby behind the legalization of same-sex marriage is releasing statistics that exaggerate the number of gay marriages by about %65. This lobby is called "Egale" and it is funded by IBM and a number of other anonymous corporations, as well as by the federal government.
CONCLUSION
Today, people who advance in the fields of government, education, media and big business generally belong to a colonial elite. They represent the London-based Masonic-Zionist central banking cartel which is colonizing us all in a 1984-style "world government." They are waging psychological war on society to undermine our ability to resist.
The nuclear family is the basic building block of society. We derive our identity, meaning, values and security from it. Heterosexual marriage is the basis for raising the new generation to be productive responsible citizens. It is based on the exchange of female power for male love which awakens the man's protective and constructive instincts. It is an essential step in our personal development and fulfillment.
The promotion of gay marriage has nothing to do with the welfare of homosexuals. As with feminism,it is designed to increase sex-role confusion, divorce, and depopulation. By conflating hetero and homosexual marriage, straights are being encouraged to emulate gays, who generally are not monogamous and do not have children. This is part of a wider attack on our gender identity (i.e. masculinity and femininity.)
Did we need to legalize gay marriage to accommodate one couple in one thousand? No. The central bankers
legalized it to destroy the nuclear family and change societal norms. By arresting our personal development, they are ensuring that humanity remains under their tutelage, a perpetual under-achiever.

A few years ago, when the Gay Marriage laws were still being debated, I had the opportunity to witness from my highrise apartment, some 50,000 Christian protesters decend upon the streets surrounding Vancouver's Court House - it was quite the sight to see, and then around 50 gays showed up, two were dressed in a tux/wedding dress and they held a mock wedding trying to enrage the Christian crowd, but the crowd stayed peaceful, although the Police did show up. At any rate, for the Courthouse being only 2 blocks from Davie Street (the heart of the Gay Community), the pittance of activists out of the thousands of gays in the immediate area illustrates how few consider it to be an issue.
I have discussed the issue with some of my gay friends, and it seems to be only a few of the very young in the community that are for gay marriage - they are also the most loonie and flamboyant of gays. Many of those that I know are very low-key normal people who are doctors, stockbrokers, lawyers etc, and this crowd is NOT too keen on the idea of gay marriage, and expressed concerns about homosexual relationships becoming the gong-show which heterosexual relationships have become.
Many have been married heterosexually before, and are fully aware of the myriad of laws that the government has imposed upon heterosexual life via marriage. Before gay marriage, gay relationships were pretty free from all of the BS we deal with in straight relationships. A well to do gay man would often take in a "room-mate" for a while, and have serial relationships of this nature. But, with making gay relationships "equal" to straight relationships, many of these people are worried about having to fork over money to their common-law lovers, and all of the other laws which the government has introduced into relationships. It seems that those who are most in favour of gay marriage are also often the poorest with the least bright futures - and the more affluent gays are well aware of this. They are aware that gay marriage also means gay divorce.
The more affluent gays are also aware that government laws have seriously hampered hetero relationships, and are in no way keen to have their lifestyle hampered in the same way. Many find the gay "lifestyle" within the community to be refreshing, as it is so different from hetero lifestyle, and they fear that gay marriage will alter the state of their community. There are some that have been in long term relationships, but most are not. Even though they are fairly low key and not flamboyant, they still enjoy the ease of promiscuousness in the community, and the multiple sex partners. Many are quite aware that gay marriage/hetero relationship laws descending into the gay community could have an effect of ending their chosen lifestyle.
