VoyForums Announcement: Programming and providing support for this service has been a labor of love since 1997.

We have even fought hard to defend your privacy in legal cases; however, we've done it with almost no financial support -- paying out of pocket to continue providing the service. Due to the issues imposed on us by advertisers, we also stopped hosting most ads on the forums many years ago. We hope you appreciate our efforts.

Luckily in Canada, the term gay marriage means the exactly the same as heterosexual marriage, before the courts, so an emplyer can't balk at a person specifying same sex partner as next-of-kin.

Legally we need gay marriage/civil unions/whatever you want to call it to have the same legal rights as marriage. They should be getting the same federal benefits, the same tax benefit/penalties, etc. Anything else is discrimination.
