| Rev Brent Hawkes Metropolitan Community Church Of Toronto Wednesday Dec 6, 2000 Thanks to Rev Brent Hawkes of the Metropolitan Community Church Of Toronto for your Christian stand and spiritual eyes with regard to your decision to begin performing same-sex marriages. This respect, loving-kindness, and equal dignity being extended towards alternative lifestyle couples is an answer to prayer. I hope other Christian denominations likewise will be so moved to take up this wonderful procedural stand towards justice and social equality for all alternative lifestyle Canadians. May God richly bless you and those who follow His vision. Dan Hanewich Courtice, ON Published in Toronto's Xtra No. 425 Feb 08/01 issue |
| Svend Robinson Ottawa, ON Friday February 16, 2001 Thank-you Svend Robinson on behalf of all Canadians, alternative lifestyle Canadians, their families, friends and all our communities for your visionary leadership in presenting your private members bill approving gay marriages into law (February 14th, 2001; Marriage Bill, Feb 22 Xtra). Your leadership wisdom and action is a true Canadian contribution and significantly grants respect and purpose for all. You have clearly advanced our Canadian legacy. History will record Svend Robinson and every supportive political party as having presented Canada to the world as a truly wonderful, shining example of human rights, respect and equal dignity being extended towards all. I have never been so proud to declare myself a Canadian with a brilliant future, as now. Thank you again! May God richly bless you and those who follow His vision. Sincerely, Dan Hanewich Courtice, ON Published in Toronto's Xtra No. 429 Apr 05/01 issue |
