Ah Subby...The Tory party's official position is that gay marriage is accepted and won't be changed.

They wanted a free vote (that Martin didn't have), had their free vote last year and have moved on. Seriously, whether individual MPs like it or not is irrelevant. The party/government's official position is that gay marriage is here to stay.

Oh yeah, I know it's not going anywhere. I just said they don't really like it much. - Subversive Sep 4, 20:20 2
- It really never ever was Harper's personal issue. I think he was arguing for the base at the time. - Name Withheld By Request Sep 4, 20:22 1
  - Harper played it smart, like Reagen said. Gave enough token opposition to appease the right wing religious types, then let it die. - Subversive Sep 4, 20:24
