Nunavut should recognize same-sex marriage

Every person should be recognized as equal citizens in Nunavut and Canada. Policies of exclusion perpetuate violence, discrimination and isolation. That is why I hope the Government of Nunavut will move to allow same-sex marriage in the territory.

Homophobia is no different than racism, and just as destructive. The Nunavut government should embrace equality by joining the many other regions in Canada that have legalized same-sex marriage.
