First same-sex marriage in Quebec
Quebec has recorded its first same-sex marriage.
The first same-sex marriage in Quebec has taken place.
Longtime partners Michael Hendricks and Rene Leboeuf made history when they tied the knot in Montreal on Thursday.
Dozens of gay activists, friends and journalists watched the tuxedo-clad couple walk down the aisle at the Montreal courthouse, nearly six years after Hendricks launched a legal battle for the right to marry.
Last month, the Quebec Court of Appeal told him he had that right.
Quebec is the third province, after Ontario and British Columbia, to declare same-sex marriages legal.
