Stephen Harper says he will reopen the gay marriage debate in the fall.

I’m with Layton on this one: “[T]he courts have decided, the Parliament has decided, couples are getting married and the idea that we would go into the House of Commons and roll the clock back on an issue of human rights makes no sense to me.”

Let’s hope lots of other people are with Layton on this one too. My suspicion is that Harper is doing this not because he wants to, but because he has to show his supporters that he’s “doing something” on this issue. Hooray for playing politics with other people’s rights!

Also, score one for the boys in red: Gay Mounties to Wed in Halifax
