But maybe all the lurkers are from Ottawa too... :)

Congratulations, sir. I'm most impressed!

Probably not until all (or most) of us can simply accept everyone else for what they are. Which, human nature being what it is, will probably be a while, alas. On the bright side, there are people who get it. If you haven't seen it already, have a look a Dan Savage's 'It Gets Better' project at http://www.youtube.com/itgetsbetterproject. And on the subject of suicide generally, an ad from a Serbian group that also gets it: http://adweek.blogs.com/adfreak/2010/09/suicide-ads-projected-under-bridge-jumpers.html

But if she doesn't, the Gov't will presumably appeal that too, no? I hate to be pessimistic, but I really can't believe anything will change in practice until this has gone through the entire appeals process. And even then, as someone else noted, this ruling is based on the fact that prostitution is itself legal... which could be changed.

Indeed. Congratulations, and thanks to you - and all the other folks who have been here for a while - for making this a fantastic forum.
