VANCOUVER, July 8, 2003 (LifeSiteNews.com) – The B.C. Court of Appeal has ruled that the province must force through same-sex marriages immediately, not wait until next year as a previous ruling provided.  “The reformulation of the common law definition of marriage as ‘the lawful union of two persons to the exclusion of all others’ will take immediate effect,” the ruling declared yesterday. In an earlier decision, the Court rewrote the definition but also suspended the requirement for implementation until July 12, 2004. The delay has now been quashed.  For Globe and Mail coverage:  https://www.globeandmail.com/servlet/story/RTGAM.20030708.wmarr0708/BNStory/National/  For related LifeSite coverage:  https://www.lifesitenews.com/ldn/2003/jul/03070702.html
