I had to cheer on the United Church when a similar discussion occurred up here. Same-sex marriage had been legal here, but the Tories wanted to ban it again, and the United Church said that since they included the sacrament of Same Sex marriage, banning it impinged on their religious freedom.
Not that I especially think church policy should dictate secular politics, but it was nice to hear that one from the other side for once.
