The Boys in the Band

Now that Pierre Trudeau has had his eternal rest disturbed this week with that unilingual anthem business, we may as well evoke him again as we recall his words those decades ago, “The government has no business in the bedrooms of the nation.”

That was about 27 years ago when he was decriminalising certain aspects of homosexuality. Homosexual issues have been front and centre ad infinitum since. Now that the Parliament has finally voted on the same sex marriage issue this week and made it perfectly legal to say “I do” to your lover, can we now please all have a little holiday from gay issues?
