Women seek gay divorce in Canada
By Associated Press
Published July 22, 2004

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

TORONTO - Two Toronto women who were among the first same-sex couples to marry in Canada are seeking what might be the first Canadian same-sex divorce.

The women were married on June 18, 2003, a week after a landmark court decision legalized same-sex marriage in Ontario, Canada's most populous province. They had been together for nearly 10 years, but separated after five days of marriage.

The women are now seeking to change Canada's divorce law, which applies only to marriages between a man and a woman. Their identities have been kept secret by court order.

While more than 3,000 same-sex couples have married in the last year in Canada, the Canadian Divorce Act has not been challenged and amended to reflect the new reality of gay marriage.

"These people were legally married, but under the law of our land cannot be divorced until the Divorce Act is changed," said Julie Hannaford, a lawyer for one of the women. A hearing is scheduled for Sept. 13.

While the US are still debating " gay marriage ", we Canadians are already at the " gay divorce" stage ...

The article says that they're trying to change the law. Perhaps that's their only intent.

Looks like a duck

Quacks like a duck

It's a fucking duck.

I can see the point of challenging a law where you can get married but can't get divorced.
