As Canada's Bill C-389 — which would extend rights to employment, housing, access to services and protections from the excusing of violence for gender identity and gender expression — inches on toward Third Reading and a similar bill (ENDA) languishes in the US, the religious right south of the border is all a-panic over the repeal of Don't Ask Don't Tell (DADT).  And an oddly familiar argument is being thrust into the forefront.

They're afraid that straight and gay soldiers might have to shower together.  Openly gay congressman Barney Frank was confronted by CNS (which was formed to present a conservative bias in news) on the matter:

    "What do you think happens in gyms all over America?" Frank said when asked by CNSNews.com about the working group's recommendation that straights be required to shower with gays.
