June 28, 2005 - Same Sex Marriage Law Passes in the House of Commons
The House of Commons voted to adopt controversial legislation that will make Canada the third country in the world to legalize same-sex marriage.
The bill will become official once it receives approval in the Senate, likely within days. With it the barriers to gay and lesbian weddings will be removed in Alberta, PEI, Nunavut and the Northwest Territories — the last jurisdictions where courts have not yet struck down the marriage law.
The legislation applies to civic weddings at public places, like city halls and courthouses. No religious groups will be forced to sanctify same-sex marriages if they don't want to.
