MPs vote against revisiting gay marriage issue OTTAWA (CP) - The House of Commons has voted against revisiting the same-sex marriage issue, closing the door on the divisive debate - again. MPs voted 175-123 on Thursday against a Conservative motion calling for the government to introduce legislation restoring the traditional definition of marriage. Most Tories and about a dozen Liberals supported the motion. Most Liberals, a dozen Conservatives and all NDP and Bloc Quebecois MPs present opposed it. It's the second time the House has voted in favour of gay marriage. In 2005, MPs passed a law legalizing same-sex unions in the wake of court rulings that said barring gay couples from marriage was unconstitutional.

Right decision, right process. Now it's settled.
