canadian supreme court has a few gay friends, is totally cool with gay marriage and everything

Good news! As reported by the CBC, the Supreme Court of Canada has told the government that they think it's totally fine if it goes ahead with redefining marriage to allow for same-sex unions.
"We were just thinking it over and talking about it over at [Justice] Michel [Bastarache]'s house, and someone said, 'Man, I really can't see what's the big deal about two guys or two girls or whatever just being in love with each other, right?' Everyone else just answered, 'totally'," said Beverly McLachlin, Chief Justice.

"Plus [Justice] Marie [Deschamps] is gay, so no-one felt very comfortable opposing it in front of her."
