[QUOTE]Originally posted by Jason Abbadon: [QB] [QUOTE]And what do you do when you want to effect change? You seek publicity. [/QUOTE]You seek to change the CAUSE. Lets say that the form is changed with no argument: the same core problem is still there- the lack of aknoweledgment for same sex couples. I imagine the hollow victory of winning so easily would garner no publicity for their cause. Put into medical terms, if you have a compound fracture and someone puts a band-aid on it, you're not really healed: the problem is just less obvious. These guys have a just cause but have little chance of making real change by protesting against this form's usage. Even if the US aknowledges their Canadian marriage as a courtsey to our northern brothers, it's not going to change policy regarding marriages in the US. It's a placebo at best and tilting at windmills at worst. As neither of these guys is an american citizen, their voices will carry very little weight with those that set US policy. I just think their efforts would be better served elsewhere (like working with gay rights groups in the US to promote education on how the more open-minded marriage laws work in Canada- eliminating legal oppositions to changing the law by demonstrating that it works).
