Since Canada has legalized gay marriage, should the Canadian flag now become the symbol for the gay movement ?

What does a flag have to do with the legalizing of gay marriages???? Canada legalized the marriages which I say is about time, Canada itself isn't gay the people living there are. They were granted rights equal to straight people and depending on what organization they belong to some have a flag which they display to let others know how proud they are about their beliefs. I don't think the US will be putting up any flags which stand for anything but freedom.

No! That is what America is all about: religious tolerance and diversity!\n\nOur Flag unites us. Religious sectarianism divides us.

It can also mean a flag.

I think that we should fly the St George Cross everywhere, all of the time. Football has just commercialised the St George Cross, especially the different designs they put on it. I have seen it with "ENGLAND" emblazoned on it. I have seen it with the Three Lions Plonked in the middle of it and many other symbols. The St George Cross is our Country's National Flag and NOT a commercial emblem. Fly the Flag and be Proud to be English. If you defaced any other country's national flag there would be uproar!

Yes, in all provinces. And in Spain, and South Africa. \n\nThe Columbian Senate just considered and passed a bill, though it hasn't become law yet.\n\nMexico City is now recognizing same-sex domestic partnerships.\n\nIn the Netherlands, gay marriage has been legal for years.\n\nIn Israel, the Supreme Court ruled that the state  must recognized same-sex marriages solemnized in other countries, so that a couple married in Canada will also be considered married in Israel.\n\nIt's just America that doesn't get it.

I personally think the idea of two flags is cool. It shows you aren't forgetting your heritage but you are embracing and loving your new home.

I think the answer can be really simple.  If the flag is burnt because of the country it represents (in this case, America) then it definitely wouldn't be OK to Americans.  It's the reason behind the action and what it represents.

The rainbow represents the diversity in our culture. and freedom from persecution.  it came about after Stonewall (that is a mile marker in our struggle to gain visibility in our society).  we also have a more ominous symbol. that is the pink triangle that represents our turmoil from the Germans along with the Jews the wore the star of David

I Suppose You Would Like To Make Our FLAG "BETTER" Too??\n\nWould You Like It "updated too to show what is going on"\n\nI DONT think it represents America better overall.

Move to Vancouver Canada.Canada is gay friendly and you can legally get married here.We are after all the best country in the world even if we are rated #6. Than again I hear Toronto has a big gay community.We have the best drag queens and killer gay pride and hey I'm not even gay and I know this then again I have a ton of gay friends.Good luck anywhere you decide to go!

The gay marriage amendment, whether to put discrimination against gays into the constitution.  \n\nIt was a sham, a ploy, a ridiculous waste of time to divert the public's attention from real issues that Congress should be dealing with.  \n\nLike lately, Frist introduced a bill to ban flag burning.

you said it well. you are soooo right. god bless you. it should only be American flags in America. if they want to be here. then they should abide by the American ways.

the current hullabaloo is the hysterical last gasp of religious whackos trying to impose their own opinions on the rest of us. soon enough, the sham of the "ex-gay" movement will be widely known--because of the numbers of "failures." and as more and more people get to know perfectly normal gay folks, there will be fewer and fewer people who can find it in their heart to justify what is clearly illegal discrimination. and Pat Robertson won't have a leg to stand on when god doesn't smite down the countries who welcome and celebrate gay folks as full citizens. \n\ntwenty years ago, did anyone even think that gay marriage could be on the public agenda?

No.  If gay people want to be responsible and be married, I see no issue with that. \nI will vote for any that comes out against amnesty for illegals.  So very few have done that.

Gay marriages have been made legal in Canada for the past year.  The New Prime Minister Steven Harper has promised to hold a "free vote" on this subject...it was the last government (Liberal) under Paul Martin that made it legal and changed the whole definition of marriage.  I don't see the point of a "free vote" now; it's too late to take it back now and will just cost a lot of tax money to hold it.
