Ontario gay marriage
From CBC News: "Gay activists celebrated Friday as a panel of judges ordered the Ontario government to register gay and lesbian marriages, the first decision of its kind in Canada. . . . In a unanimous ruling, the panel of three judges said that prohibiting gay couples from marrying violates the Charter of Rights and Freedoms. Some constitutional experts predicted the decision would have a ripple effect across the country." (Link snagged from Soapboxgirls.)
