Same-sex couples still 'husband and wife' in Nova Scotia
Gay couples wanting to get married in Nova Scotia this fall will have to be declared husband and wife at least until the province gets its paperwork finished. Some of Nova Scotian same-sex couples who fought for the right to be legally married are angry over the terminology. Same-sex marriages have been legal in the province since a Nova Scotia Supreme Court decision last month. Five other provinces and territories had earlier delivered similar court decisions.
