Good for Canada

Ontario will register same-sex marriages

Personally, I think Vermont's "civil union" approach is good, because marriage has religious aspects I don't think the state should be getting into. That said, I know plenty of long-time gay couples, and it seems entirely unexceptionable to me that they should have "equal rights" for normal things like hospital visitation and inheritance. What could be possibly be the problem with that in a society with any concept of justice?
