Canada, I love you.

I was awake at 4.00 this morning due to a nightmare I had. Those occur rarely enough that they always take me by surprise when they do. But anyway, it disturbed me enough that I didn't/couldn't go back to sleep immediately so, well, it seems I was lured to the lj side of the force, finding myself cruising my flist at 4.45 am. Okay, why not.

But the very good side of the story is that I read about The News before they even made it here - I mean, everyone was busy being asleep here while Canadians were busy showing their awesomeness once again, as well as their respect for, you know, people - so I woke up to the wonderful news that Canada's House of Commons passed landmark legislation Tuesday to legalize gay marriage, granting same-sex couples legal rights equal to those in traditional unions between a man and a woman. Can't say I'm surprised - I have a lot of faith in Canada, as it happens *g*

This is another step, it means it's still going forward, this is just... beautiful beyond words - and it certainly gives you hope *g*

Oh and since I was at it, I also sorta read some new Numb3rs slash [Larry/Charlie] namely Making Out and its sequel Dinner For Four by miriam_heddy and really I'm enjoying that author's work a lot. I'll send feedback when I am 100% awake.

Okay so now, I think I'll try going back to sleep *rubs eyes tiredly* I could sleep in today, might as well try to take advantage of it and go back to Morpheus' arms.

One day I will live in Canada and be happy. Very very happy. Such a beautiful place. :)

It's true that on one side of the border you have the US that are apparently going as far as attacking queer or not-straight-enough literature, and on the other, you now have the legalisation of same-sex union. I mean, apparently it's not 100% done-done but everyone is saying it should hold. Talk about a difference. And I took the American example because this book thing really disturbed me, but France is still against same-sex marriage so we're not ahead either *sigh*

Damn, no, Spain was about to do it and it got rejected at the last minute it seems. So, Netherlands and Belgium it is around here - sorry *g*

Hopefully more and more countries will get with the program and hop on the bandwagon *is hopeful*

That's wonderful news about Canada, it must have been great being there to see the news break. Though maybe it would have been better if you'd been in bed *g*

Lets just hope other countries follow now.

And now, Spain belongs to the very selective group of Countries That Allow Same-Sex Marriage *g*

It was about nothing in particular - it's one of those nightmares that don't sound like nightmare when you describe them, except they were, you know? *g*

And really? Nifty coincidence...
