OPPOSITION TO GAY MARRIAGE GROWING
Out in West Palm Beach reports:
TORONTO (AP) - As gay-rights activists head to Ottawa for the final stage in their long battle to legalize same-sex marriage nationwide, Roman Catholic clergy are crossing the line that separates church and state to demand that legislators defeat the proposition.
They have pledged to bring the debate to their pulpits on Sunday and have called on Prime Minister Paul Martin to consider the moral consequences of allowing homosexual unions nationwide. Gays and lesbians can already marry in seven provinces and one territory, including Ontario, British Columbia and Quebec.
