If the anti-gay groups really want to see what same-sex marriage has done to families and the institution of marriage, they only need to look at Canada, which is celebrating 10 years of gay marriage. Families haven’t dis-intigrated, straight marriages still thrive, and the world hasn’t come to an end. I appluad all those couples who set the stage for the fight for all of the rest of us to be able to enjoy marriage equality!

Two same-sex couples who became the first in North America to be legally married have renewed their vows in Toronto, a decade after they made history.

Anne and Elaine Vautour, along with Joe Varnell and Kevin Bourassa, took part in a group ceremony in Toronto on Friday night to commemorate their respective weddings in 2001.

But while we are celebrating, we need to also recognize that gaining the right to marry, doesn’t liberate the LGBT community. Even today, 10 years after same-sex marriage, transgender persons have no rights or protections. The anti-gay forces are working especially hard to keep it that way too. Wile we must keep pushing for same-sex marriage, and we must celebrate where victories have come about in that regard, we must also double our efforts for the full equality of everyone.
