"I 'm not Canadian , but I suspect you greatly underestimate the amount of under-the-radar opposition and frustration about gay marriage in your country . Polls often do n't give an accurate picture of the full situation . You have a significantly liberal govt and liberal media that even goes so far as to stifle and prevent free speech on this issue . I 've read the views of many religious people in Canada , and a lot of them feel that they are truly being persecuted and oppresed by tha lack of free speech your govt . gives them on this issue . One reason it appears `` dead `` is that your govt . stifles free speech about this issue . You 've lost religious freedom in an overboard attempt to provide `` freedom `` in another area . You should have found a way to have both ."
"So now it 's a massive nation wide government conspiracy to stifle free speech ? Canada stifles and oppresses religious freedom ? Honestly Jyoshu , where do you get this stuff ? This is utter BS , if you can find ANY proof of the Canadian gov't stifling free speech on this issue , religious freedom , or any other issue for that matter , please post it . If not , retract your BS statement , and admit that it 's a fabrication . I honestly do n't think I underestimate it at all . I come across a very broad spectrum of people in my line of work , from one end of the scale to the other . The most common negative response I get is from those that are opposed to homosexuality in general and respond along the lines of `` I do n't like , I do n't want to see it , but rights are rights , as long as it does n't negatively affect me , I do n't have a problem with it/I do n't really care. `` I have come across a couple of people who were strongly opposed to the use of the term `` marriage `` but were fine with allowing homosexual `` civil unions `` . I think you overestimate how big of a `` moral issue `` this really is for most people . Waxy"
