Subject: Thank you for voting against re-opening equal marriage.
Message: I'm writing to thank you for voting against re-opening the divisive equal marriage debate.

Thanks to you, Parliament has decisively rejected the motion and convinced Mr. Harper to publicly state that the issue is settled, and that he will not bring it back, even if he wins a majority sometime in the future.

A clear pattern has been established in the three votes that have been held in Parliament since the courts first ruled that excluding same-sex couples from civil marriage violates the Charter. This is a pattern of growing acceptance of equal marriage, a pattern that reflects Canada’s growing consensus on this issue.

In the not-too-distant future we will look back and wonder how it was that this was even an issue. We will be proud that Canada chose to continue its long tradition of inclusion and respect for diversity, and refused to turn back the clock on equality. And hopefully, one day, the idea that someone would hide their sexual orientation or their gender identity will make no sense at all.

I look forward to that day.
