Glad to see more states granting first-class citizenship to same-sex couples. It's been such a non-issue here in Canada for a while I had to look up when exactly we legalized same-sex marriage. Apparently we are technically the first country to 'legitimize' it, according to wikipedia: Almost makes me feel patriotic. On a side note, I wonder how many gay people are now going to be getting the nudge from family and friends. Anyone in a long term relationship has probably had someone close to them ask the old, "So when are you two gonna ..." with a sly wiggle of their left hand.The decision by the Ontario government to recognize the marriage that took place in Toronto, Ontario, on January 14, 2001, retroactively makes Canada the first country in the world to have a government-legitimized same-sex marriage
