Canada's Supreme Court Allows Same-Sex Marriage
Here is the whole article:
Religious Groups Not Required To Marry Gay Couples
POSTED: 10:39 am EST December 9, 2004
Canada's highest court said Thursday the government can redefine marriage to include same-sex couples, but it added that religious officials cannot be forced to perform unions against their beliefs.
The ruling brings to the final stages a long, bitter fight over whether gays and lesbians should be allowed to marry in Canada.
Judges in six provinces and one territory have already overturned the traditional definition, allowing thousands of same-sex weddings.
Canada would join Belgium and the Netherlands in allowing gay marriage if the government acts to make it legal nationwide.
The legislation also needs approval of the House of Commons.
