Prime Minister Paul Martin will cast same-sex marriage as a minority rights issue when he opens a landmark debate Wednesday in the House of Commons.

The controversial matter is finally before Parliament after years of court battles and untold debates in coffee shops and living rooms across the country.

The Commons showdown will begin with the rare sight of a prime minister leading the charge in a parliamentary debate on a government bill.
