Please Join Us in Apologizing to the World

We Canadians have a unique opportunity to support marriage and the family around the world even as we work to restore marriage here at home. We can each do that by personally endorsing the Apology to the World that United Families Canada and other pro-family groups are sponsoring.

Apologizing is the responsible thing for us to do because our action in becoming only the fourth country in the world to legalize same-sex marriage is having negative impacts far beyond our own borders.

A number of Canadian pro-family groups (listed below) are joining with us in sponsoring this Apology. We are asking pro-family Canadians to add their personal endorsement of the Apology by also signing in support of it.

You can easily do that by following the simple steps below.

We are especially anxious to have as many individual Canadians sign the endorsement by the time we present it to the World Congress of Families IV to be held in mid-May in Warsaw, Poland. This Apology will be a powerful tool that these pro-family leaders can use to protect marriage in their own countries and avoid the mistakes we have made.

Step 1

Enter the information in the boxes below. (Each person in a household should individually endorse it.) To protect your privacy, only your name and province will ever be attached to any copy of the Apology we distribute. We will not sell, trade, give away or otherwise transfer any other personal information to another group.

Read the Apology to the World, if you have not already done so, to be certain that you agree with it.

Apology to the World

To the world's leaders and people,

We, the people of Canada who support marriage solely as the union of a man and a woman, apologize to the people of the world for harm done through Canada's legalization of homosexual marriage.

We are grieved and troubled as we consider the impact this is having in weakening the fundamental institution of marriage in countries and cultures around the world. We understand that because Canada does not impose citizenship or residency requirements in order for same-sex individuals to be "married" here, couples are coming to Canada to seek legal sanction for their homosexual relationships with the intent of returning to their own countries to challenge those countries' legal definition of marriage.

We understand that Canada is seen by people around the world as a country in which public policy is developed carefully and judiciously. It would, therefore, be a natural assumption that in legalizing homosexual marriage our government and courts thoroughly considered the implications of this action through proper and extensive study of social sciences and facts. But it is essential that the people of the world understand that this was not the case. Our government and courts only considered adult "rights." Among other things, the impact on children's rights, children's education, parental rights, religious rights, adoption, the economy and family law were never fully considered. Changes were thrust upon us by court actions followed by a vote that did not allow for a free vote of every member of our federal parliament.

Our warning to you, the people of the world, is to learn from our mistakes and avoid repeating them in your own countries.

Forewarned should be forearmed.
