Like most Canadians, I don't like to brag but I'm proud of this...

And I really hope the Supreme Court of the US makes it illegal to have laws against gay marriage.

Officially, Canada was the fourth country in the world to legalize gay marriage in 2005, but, thanks to a provincial law already on the books in Ontario, Canada actually performed the first governmentally-legitimized same-sex marriage in the world back in 2001. There may still be some who are opposed to same-sex matrimony, but every time a challenge to the law has come up, it has been struck back down. Oh, and it’s not just married couples who are all awarded the exact same rights regardless of sexual orientation; if any couple, LGBTQ or cis, chooses a common-law arrangement, they get — you guessed it — full acknowledgement, rights, and equality.
