I love our species’ creativity in the face of bullshit authority. This is great.

Awesome!

It’s so nice that they were able to fly over a civilized country.

good for them! who the fuck is anyone to say two people who love each other cant marry.

American ingenuity.

Good for them. My best wishes and congratulations to the happy couple.

all the best for the couple.

I once maintained [in college, '61 > '65 - got me in deep dodoo, 2] that homosexuals were more creative and inventive than others on the planet. Once these guys and gals get into the services openly — look-OUT! they will out perform any X-Tian standard out there.

Clever, but sad that two people who love each other have to take these steps to get married.

while the halfwit right wing x-tians get all bent out of shape over this, I, on the other hand, am better, because two people commited their love for one another in an open cerimony.

This is life folks, not a dress rehersal, live it to the fullest. :)

The idea that Christianity is opposed to gay marriage is a sick, twisted and evil perversion created by the maniacal right-wing Fascist scum that have infested America like a cancerous disease. Jesus loves us all, and calls for equality for every human being; and YES, that includes the LGBTQ community. God bless these men and their marriage, and I for one wish them all the best of times in their future!

You sound Canadian.

I love it!!! Our country is so full of hate it is down right embarrassing. I can see Canada (Windsor, Ontario) from my office. (Yes, Sara I really can). I often look across the Detroit River with envy at how really free they are compared to us. Sad to say, most Americans have no clue how far we have fallen.

Sure, congrats may be in order if the couple lives in Maryland, Rhode Island, New York, Coquille Nation or Cherokee Nation. Although, they are denied federal rights and benefits and the limited rights they may have could be taken away from them.

Also, if they are from one of the 29 states that have Constitutional amendments which bar the recognition of same-sex marriage, or one of the 18 of states that prohibits the legal recognition of any same-sex union, or one of 14 states that have legal statutes that define “marriage” as a union of two persons of the opposite sex, then they had nothing more than a brief moment to recognize the freedoms that other countries have when compared to Americans, and then they went right back to being second-class citizens.

Looked at from another angle, 10 countries have fully legalized gay marriages, 5 others recognize them but do not enforce that they be performed by officiators, 18 other countries have Civil Unions and Legally Recognized Partnerships, and at least 40 other countries are competing with the US to be the next to end legalized discrimination based on sexual preference.

The fact that so many other countries have had people with enough ingenuity to overturn discriminatory laws before the US, and Americans can only get a two-minute taste of freedom that is quickly taken away from them is not really something to get patriotic about.

Canadian ingenuity to ignore and marginalize the bigots, and good for the couple that pointed this out.

I discovered Cnada on a trip couple of months ago. Absolutely loved it.

Look at it from the perspective that 2 committed adults found a way to thumb
their collective nose at antiquated and inappropriate public policy and have
a lark at the same time.
Good on’em

I laud Virgin Airlines to make this opportunity available for LGBT couples to do this. They should actually HAVE a flight that intentionally flies across Canada long enough to let several couples wed, and list it as such. I wonder if this would work for flights over states that permit Same Sex marriages? If we get California off the H8 warpath in December, we could have a good long flight for folks going to say, Hawaii or Japan.

Congratulations, may they have a happy life together.

That is So Cool !

Sarah Palin is familiar with Canada. She used to slip across the border for some of that FREEEE HEALTH CARE. At the Canadian taxpayer’s expense of course.

We used to visit frequently. It isn’t entering Canada that is the problem, it’s the hassle and 50 questions we have to go through to return.

Let us hope that the Wrong-Wing – set to run amok in the U.S. House of Reps in the next few weeks – won’t try to take disciplinary action against the pilots, or VirginAmerica airlines!

Way to go Captain! Hooray! Congrats and Mazel Tov too.

Just to be clear, the flight didn’t “veer” into Canadian airspace as the headline suggests. All airline flights go on strictly defined routes controlled by Air Traffic Control, which are defined before they even left the ground (although ATC can modify them in the air). Lots of flights to NY and New England cross Canadian airspace everyday as part of normal operations.

Lol. it would be nice if you had actually read the article before posting a comment.

What you will find within the article is this: “there was no “diversion” – this was part of the normal flight path. He actually was unaware of the reported celebration in the cabin (so reports that a pilot performed it are definitely not correct). That flight’s normal flight path (VX 28 SFO-JFK) does cross the Canadian border for a few minutes.”

Sound familiar?

When we flew from JFK to Long Beach, we were over Canada for over a half an hour (out through Watertown NY & back in over Michigan). If some couple got married …Good for them.

Now Now. We aren’t suppose to remember that.

They aren’t Christians. They wouldn’t know Jesus if he came up and bit them squarely in the AZZ.

Brilliant.

LOL good stuff!

Dog bless ‘em!

Yeah, it’s like … once one has seen the promised land, hasone become too
adulterated by a lack of hatred to be allowed to reenter.

Therefore, the headline is inaccurate and misleading. The headline must accurately reflect the content of the story: this is basic journalism. The definition of veer: “To turn aside from a course, direction, or purpose; change direction; swerve.”

The headline should be adjusted to properly reflect the facts.

Going through customs in another country is usually a pleasure, coming back into the United States not so much.

Good for them. The only thing that would have made this better would have been dropping “blue ice” on Utah.

Wow, you have to admit that is pretty cool. Very good timing!

Eh-men

“Canadian” Not so much, eh?

Well, kind of. Civilized enough, sure, but not without its own right-wing terrorists.
The truth of the matter is that the conservative minority government of Canada is rife with evangelical Christians from oil/cowboy country (think Texas north) who just laid a surprise three year extension to the Afghanistan mission on the public with three weeks notice and, though it was the Prime Minister’s right to do so, he refused to take it up in Parliament as demanded by the loyal opposition simply because he didn’t have to.
Moreover, the PM’s chief of staff is former president of Canada’s branch of Focus on the Family and, according to Marci McDonald’s book, The Armageddon Factor, the American evangelical organizations shovel tens of millions into Canada to influence its domestic and foreign policy such as undercutting health care, participating in America’s tragic foreign policy misadventures, seeking to trash existing abortion laws, gay marriage, deflecting responsibility from corporate polluters, etc.

So its not quite the tranquil democracy that it is cracked up to be.
But perception, they say, is everything.

Years ago it used to be like that. Only once in about 50 pre – 2004 trips had I ever been pulled over to second inspection. The Border Agent apologized but I had been flagged. A quick look through the car, pleasant smiles, and we were gone within 5 minutes. Today we spend about 5 minutes of questioning alone and watch many many more people being sent to second inspection.

Most people have enough dignity to not enjoy being hassled.

I sure like it there. Since I was drafted in ’66, I spec they’ll let me
move there. I’m gonna. With rand paul’s election and now O’Bama is begging
the republican’ts to kick his teeth in so he has an excuse to move back to
Chicago – I don’t think I have a choice.

Between me and my husband we’ve owned more MP3 players over the years than I can count, including Sansas, iRivers, iPods (classic & touch), the Ibiza Rhapsody, etc. But, the last few years I’ve settled down to one line of players. Why? Because I was happy to discover how well-designed and fun to use the underappreciated (and widely mocked) Zunes are.

Useful site. Nice piece of info, I absolutely enjoy reading your post.

Pretty impressive article. I just stumbled upon your site and wanted to say that I have really enjoyed reading your blog posts. Any way I’ll be coming back and I hope you post again soon.

Great site! I will need a bit of time to think about this stuff.
