Equal Marriage Clergy Endorsement Statement

Clergy who are licensed by provincial authorities to perform marriages are invited to sign onto the following statement in support of Equal Marriage.

For many Canadians, marriage is a profoundly meaningful way to demonstrate love and commitment. Denying anyone that choice is simply not fair. Same sex couples should have the freedom to marry in a civil ceremony and to have that marriage legally recognized, and religious communities should have the freedom to perform or not perform such marriages. Please scroll down to see the endorsements and notices concerning public viewability.

EGALE will forward signatories of the above statement to the House of Commons Standing Committee on Justice and Human Rights. Also check out our Equal Marriage Campaign (www.egale.ca/equalmarriage.asp). Please be assured that none of the information you provide will be used for any other purpose or passed on to any other organization however the information you provide here can be freely viewed on the Internet. You have been asked for an e-mail address for verification purposes only.

The latest endorsements are at the bottom. For more info, see our Marriage FAQ on our Equal Marriage page (link above) or contact egale.canada@egale.ca.
