(Halifax, Nova Scotia) In what may be Canada's highest profile gay wedding of the year two Mounties will wed next month in Nova Scotia.
It is the first same-sex marriage within the RCMP. and the couple will wear the distinctive scarlet dress uniforms the force is known for worldwide the Chronicle Herald newspaper reports.
Const. Jason Tree, 27, and Const. David Connors, 28, met while in high school. They've been a couple since their university days eight years ago.
In an interview with the Chronicle Herald Tee said they have never experienced a problem on the force. They are so well liked members of the force, also in their dress tunics, will form an honor guard at the wedding.
"This is a first for us," RCMP spokesperson Sgt. Skidmore told the paper. "Certainly, the RCMP welcomes a workforce that is representative of Canadian society, and that is the case here."
Canada last year became the fourth country in the world to legalize same-sex marriage. The legislation was passed by then Prime Minister Paul Martin's Liberal government. The new Conservative government has pledged to overturn the law.
Prime Minister Stephen Harper has said he expects to introduce the bill in the fall.
Earlier this week Canadians for Equal Marriage, a national group that supports same-sex marriage said that a survey it conducted of Members of Parliament oppose re-opening the marriage debate.
Before he could put a repeal bill before the House Harper would need approval of a majority of MPs to reopen the issue. CEM's poll showed that 158 MPs would vote against re-opening, 137 would vote for it, and 12 are undecided or will abstain. |

Headline in the Chronicle Herald yesterday was pretty good: "These Mounties Get Their Man"

I wonder if Harper will be able to repeal that law.
Once that gate is opened, it'd be tough to close me thinks. |

| That's too funny because Mounties don't tend to be very liberal. Remember the stink that some of them raised when Sihk mounties were permitted to wear turbans? |
