It's "Same-Sex Marriage in Canada" Thursday
Sorry to those of you who may not be interested in the same-sex marriage debate going on in Canada right now, because that's the theme I've picked for today's posts.
First up: Gay Marriage in the Military!
Considering that homosexuals were banned from the military up until 1992, they've come a long way baby. The first same-sex marriage ceremony to be performed on military soil went down on an airbase in Nova Scotia on May 3rd.
Names haven't been released, but the base's chaplain said that the two married were a sergeant and a warrant officer. Apparently there wasn't a dry eye in the house.
The military has said that it will perform same-sex marriages in the seven provinces and one territory where it's currently legal.
And for those who don't know; Alberta, New Brunswick, P.E.I., Northwest Territories and Nunavut are those that don't allow same-sex marriage at this point. Though, Nunavut recognizes same-sex marriages performed elsewhere. Half way there Nunavut... keep 'er going.
