The thing is, it's become "the issue" worldwide, too. As in: even in countries that already have equal marriage and have for years. And this means that there are certain segments of the queer community in Canada that think of this country as a place where we now "have rights" (and often in smug contrast to places where we "don't have rights") so there's no real incentive to do anything about say, the workplace issues that very much still exist here.
And yes, I realize those are probably people who never would have been particularly activist to begin with, but still!
