Canadian court rules federal law against gay marriage discriminatory.
(From Agence France Presse)
The top court in Canada's western-most province ruled that federal laws preventing same-sex marriages are discriminatory and violate the Canadian constitution.
Three justices of the British Columbia Court of Appeal ordered Canada's federal government to change the legal definition of marriage.
Like courts in other provinces, the BC court set a deadline for the change of July 12, 2004.
While the federal government defines marriage, Canada's 10 provinces and three territories are responsible for registering the unions.
Several gays who attempted to register marriages and were denied have filed suits.
With the new BC ruling, gay rights groups have now won in three provinces, including Quebec and Ontario.
