More and more same-sex foreigners are flocking to Canada to tie the knot.Foreigners are flocking to Canada to have legal same-sex marriages, according to a new report that shows more than half of recorded gay weddings were couples from abroad.
StatsCan data on 2003 nuptials, which included gay couples for the first time in Canadian history, found 3.5% of the 22,000 marriages in B.C. were between people of the same sex.
And nearly 56% of those were non-residents of Canada.
"Gay and lesbian couples have been coming to Canada since the laws changed in 2003, especially to the big cities," said Kaj Hasselriis, executive director of Egale Canada. (source)
