They are lobying the governement to make them accept the change THEY want in a religious ceremony. Hence the lobyists, marches, debates etc.

Civil marriages have nothing to do with religion. The Canadian government is not going to demand any church perform same sex marriages. It's not lobbying the government that brought about this change, but rather a Charter of Rights and Freedoms challenge. The supreme court made the ruling.

The sacred meaning of marriage. Not just Christianity either, for all religions who use marriage as a blessing from God.

Again it's a civil marriage, not a church marriage with a blessing from god.
I don't see marriage as a religious ceremony, but that's just me.
