It's completely serious, and I would support him if there was some way I could. I happen to agree with him. Secular conservatism doesn't have to be based upon religious fanaticism. My religion leads me to support the right of any feeling being to wed whomever or whatever it chooses.

The robot issue is a moot point, since there are no emotion-capable machines presently in existence, but they key here is that being a conservative doesn't automatically mean opposition to gay marriage.

Conservative Party leadership Tony Clement promises that Party members will have free votes on issues of conscience, such as gay marriage and the legalization of marijurana. Clement, as a conservative, opposes both, and I, as a conservative, support the former.

Religion has no place in secular government.
I agree with that completely. But he's still goofy looking. Clement makes me nervous, not in a good sense either. I'll have to look him up some more then. He makes interesting points. The robot thing though still makes me laugh ;p his points on marriage are a positive for me and also I praise you and agree with you that religion has no business rearing its ugly head in politics. *nods*
