Happy Pride Day to all
Item: "For the first time in the two years since gay marriage was declared legal in British Columbia a same-sex
couple has divorced."
The two women were married in 2003, when the province's top court struck down het-only weddings. But of course, divorce was still only for straights because the law works that way. "In granting the divorce order on Wednesday, B.C. Supreme Court Justice Laura Gerow struck down the old definition of a married couple as being a man and a women under the province's Divorce Act. Gerow ruled the definition was unconstitutional."
It's Canada's second same-sex divorce; the very first was in Ontario -- they were women, too. And oh yes. By legal fiat, all these gals can only be known publicly as initials -- no real names.
Because we're out and proud.
