Australia’s first same-sex wedding
Australia’s first same-sex weddings can take place this
weekend after the nation’s highest court decided to rule next week on the law
allowing gay marriage in the national capital. The Australian Capital Territory
government, which administers Canberra, passed legislation in October that
allows same-sex couples to wed in ceremonies equivalent to those heterosexual
couples are entitled to under federal law. The first weddings are scheduled to
take place in Canberra on Saturday, the first opportunity under the legal
conditions. Ivan Hinton and Chris Teoh, who attended the court hearing, plan to
marry on Saturday.
