I read your article in the Vegreville Advertiser and that was a very interesting spin you put on the issue of same-sex marriages. Giving same-sex couples the right to marry does not force others to perform same-sex marriages. Of course religious freedoms will be protected! But from what I'm reading, you're campaigning to protect these freedoms by spreading fear to religious communities and being discriminatory against homosexual couples. I, myself am catholic and I support same-sex marriages and I know others who although religious, believe same-sex marriages should be legalized. They know people aren't going to force their church to marry them.

I remember back when same-sex marriages was an issue under the Chretein Government and I had written you and the response I had received at the time was the conservative party believed it was a matter for Parliment, not the courts (which is a fair position to take). Now I see your true colours shine through on the issue.

I found your article disgusted me and I am sorely sorry others will read this propaganda and blindly follow you with your narrow-minded views.

I was so mad I forgot to add the pleasantries for the beginning of the letter and sign the letter at the end. In fact, I didn't even proof-read it. I just typed and hit send. Anyway, people like him makes me so mad and embarrassed to live in Alberta.
