Day in New Brunswick January

to Marry Day in New Brunswick
3rd
annual Valentine's Day actions & celebrations Within
hours of announcing the 3rd annual Valentine's Day of action and celebration,
gay marriage advocates in New Brunswick confirmed plans to take part in Freedom
to Marry day on February 14. Art
and Wayne Toole were married in Ontario after same-sex marriage became legal in
2003, however their home province has refused to recognize their marriage. Faced
with ongoing discrimination in New Brunswick, the couple have protested on a number
of occasions against the government. Art Toole was arrested
in September 2003 during one visit to a Service New Brunswick office. The
couple have announced plans to launch legal action in their province, but nothing
has yet been confirmed. | |
