	Real Women of Canada - Newsletters - HOMOSEXUAL LOBBY GROUP EGALE HITS TURBULENCE
		The 2,500-member Ottawa-based homosexual lobby group, EGALE Canada (formerly called Equality for Gays and Lesbians Everywhere) has happily romped through the courts due to the generous funding it receives from the federal Court Challenges Program.
		Buoyed by this success, EGALE geared up this spring for a further attack on the traditional family, by petitioning the courts to grant them the right to enter into legal marriages.
		The Court Challenges Program funds only EGALE in these cases, whereas the homosexual/ lesbian petitioners in BC, Quebec and Ontario have had to forage around to find their own money to cover the costs of their lawyers and other court expenses.

		The Criminal Code provides that it is a criminal offense in Canada to advocate or promote the killing of members of identifiable groups based on colour, race, religion, ethnic origin, or sexual orientation with the intent to destroy that community.

		Egale Canada is a national organization that advances equality and justice for lesbian, gay, bisexual, and trans-identified people and their families across Canada.

		Two years ago, on September 16, 2004, Manitoba became the fifth jurisdiction in Canada to recognize equal marriage for same-sex couples.

	Life on Brian's Beat -- Same-sex Marriage in Canada
		Egale, the national LGBT human rights organization says the hearings have become little more than a forum for opponents of gay marriage.
		It declared Canada's definition of marriage invalid and demanded it be immediately changed to refer to "two persons" instead of "one man and one woman." It ordered the Toronto city clerk to issue marriage licences to same-sex couples.
		In Canada, I take it that the call is to unite in opposition to legal changes that would extend civil marriage to same-sex couples across the country.

		Egale Canada gets practically all its budget from supporters like you, people who believe in our work and who are committed to equality for LGBT people and our families, across Canada.
		We are facing huge, well-funded opponents to equality: MPs who have been fighting against us for years; right-wing religious organizations, often receiving help from the United States; and now Prime Minister Harper who will use government resources against us.
