BY LifeSiteNews.com WHITEHORSE, July 15, 2004 (LifeSiteNews.com) - The Yukon Supreme Court told a homosexual couple Wednesday that their “marriage,” planned for the weekend, is legal. Justice Peter McIntyre ordered the territory to change its legal definition of marriage to say, “The voluntary union for life of two persons, to the exclusion of all others,” calling the old definition “discriminatory.” The Yukon government subsequently issued a marriage licence to Stephen Dunbar and Rob Edge. The Yukon government was also ordered to pay costs for the legal proceedings. Dunbar decided to sue both the Yukon and Dominion governments in February, after being denied a marriage licence from Yukon authorities. Dunbar and Edge argued the Yukon was “stalling,” when the government said it did not have the authority to grant the licences until the Canadian Supreme Court had made a decision in the matter, expected later this year.  The Yukon now becomes the fourth Canadian jurisdiction to allow homosexual “marriage” after Ontario, British Columbia and Quebec.  tv http://www.lifesitenews.com/news/canadas-yukon-territory-forced-to-legalize-homosexual-marriage-by-judicial-/
