| Description | A New Brunswick court ruling has made same-sex marriage legal in that province.
Court of Queen's Bench Justice Judith Clendening ruled that common-law marriage was the union of "two persons" -- not a man and a woman.
The ruling came in the way of a June 15 application before her by lawyer Alison Menard, who was acting on behalf of four same-sex couples.
"The point is that equal rights are now in this province of New Brunswick," Art Vautour-O'Toole told ATV News in Moncton on Thursday.
"People will be recognized, the ones that were married out of the province, and people can now go out and get married legally in this province. And to me, that's worth all the fight and agony that we went through." |
