British Columbia OKs Gay Marriage
British Columbia became the second Canadian province to allow same-sex marriage under a court ruling, and two men were wed afterward in Vancouver.
An Ontario court issued a similar ruling last month, leading to more than 250 same-sex couples obtaining licenses to marry in Toronto. A British Columbia court earlier ruled in favor of same-sex marriages but gave the federal government a year to draft a law redefining marriage. Homosexual rights groups asked the court to reconsider the one-year delay after the Ontario ruling.
