gay marriage in Ontario

[jawnbc]

Yup, the courts ordered the province of Ontario to immediately start issuing marriage licenses to same-sex couples. Which they did. And to retroactively any same-sex marriages conducted by churches that perform same-sex marriages. Which they also did.

And 2 guys jumped right on it and got married to one another. Today. Legally.

While I doubt I'd ever do it, I'm darned glad to have the right.

Most days I'm grateful to be Canadian. Today even more so.

I'm in total agreement. At some point I do plan on having my relationship "blessed by the state", but either way.. I'm glad I do have the choice, should I want to go forward with it or not.

Not only that, but it also brings a certain air of responsibility to our relationships. As for legitimizing them... I'm mixed on this one. I could have a partnership ceremony anyway, without my relationship being sanctioned by the state. For me, it's about celebrating my life with my partner. :)
