The Highway Forums General Discussion Open Forum Supreme Court gives go-ahead for gay marraige

Henry,

I believe you are correct in what you are understanding of this situation. And, that is exactly what I tried to say also, although perhaps not as clearly as I could have. <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/giggle.gif" alt="" /> What needs to happen before this ruling will be binding upon ALL Canadians is that the Legislature must vote the Bill into law. Until that happens, and I have no doubt that it will happen, Provinces are not under any obligation to accept Gay marriages as legitimate and thus anything to do with such "partners" claiming: benefits, community rights, etc., can be rejected. After the Bill becomes law, then Gays will have the exact same "rights" and privileges as heterosexual couples; married and/or common law. <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/rolleyes2.gif" alt="" />

In His Grace,
