States-righters might shudder, but here in Canada (so, no, I won't be at 
your bowling event) the parliament has just declined to reopen the gay 
marriage thing - so it's definitively settled now:-  Provinces have some 
regulations about marriage (who can be an officiant, etc.), but the 
definition of marriage is federal, and now it's any two people.  (Of course 
the more-than-two-people crowed, ranging from Mormon fundamentalists to 
up-to-date polyamorists are gearing up to lobby for broadening the 
definition of marriage even more...  I say forget marriage.  Any number of 
people of whatever genders should just go to a lawyer's office and draw up a 
contract that suits them.)

I'm not surprised that Canada has accepted gay marriage, but the land of the 
free (that's you guys) are lagging behind Spain (hey, it's so progressive 
these days that the Catholic church there supported gay marriage until the 
pope slapped them down) and South Africa.
