New Brunswick joins the list

Same-sex marriage is now legal in New Brunswick.

It's possible - and I fervently hope this happens - that within a week or two, this court ruling will be superseded by a federal law declaring marriage to be a union of two people in all provinces and territories of Canada. But even so, it's important to know that over the past two years, every court which has been asked to rule on the issue of same-sex marriage has found that under the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms, it is unconstitutional to discriminate against same-sex couples by refusing them the right to marry.
