Re: For al those thinking of going to Ontario!
It is only funny, well mildly amusing at best, if you think it is OK to call a homosexual man a fag. Would you call him that to his face?
And, before you all jump on the "PC gawn mad" bandwagon, there is a difference between being PC and treating people with a modicum of decency and respect.
As far as I am concerned, anyone who thinks this sort of "humour" is funny is a bit of a ****.

I have obviously been in Canada for so long that I am losing the famous "British Sense of Humour". So, perhaps you can help me out and explain why calling someone a fag is so hilarious.

But I do recognise that it is a term used.
So accepting that it is a term used, albeit not an acceptable term, I can still see the humour in the sign that highlights marrying someone of the same sex is a relatively new concept and by no means common, whereas the smoking of a cigarette is extremely common but is now greatly frowned upon and restricetd.
It's quite funny.

Nobody is being called a fag. I don't approve of calling someone a fag.

So I am not alone in the real world? Extremely gratifying....

Would I laugh at a joke about a woman? Of course, if it was funny. Would I laugh at joke about a woman where the woman was only referred to in derogatory terms like bitch or slag? No.

I guess if you read the bible, Im sure its not politically correct to marry the same sex.
