Thousands of same-sex marriages performed in Canada may not be legal: report
The government of Canada is reportedly arguing that thousands of same-sex couples who have travelled to this country to get married are not legally wed.
The Globe and Mail reported Thursday that the government is contending in a Toronto court case that non-Canadians gays and lesbians who have been married here since 2004 are only considered married under this country’s laws if gay marriage is also recognized in their home country or state.
The paper is basing its report on court documents filed in a Toronto test case. It was launched by a lesbian couple seeking a divorce. They were wed in Toronto in 2005, and cannot be identified under a court order. (Photo: Jim Young/Reuters)

Dear Mr Harper: I’m so sorry you and your first wife had a divorce, because she’s a lesbian. I know you’re bitter, now...
