actuality eight of Canada’s ten
provinces and one of its three
territories had already legalized gay
marriages before that point but the
National ruling meant that anyone
nationwide could participate at the end
of that same year the civil partnership
Act came into effect in the UK and while
it allowed same-sex couples to enter
into legally recognised civil union
they were not considered marriages per

married unless there is a good reason

a good reason if it ever was number
