The sexual orientation of individuals has always been a sensitive issue. Yet, the new millennium has arrived with significant mentality changes, and the inhabitants of Montreal are among the most advanced people in this respect.
Canada is in fact the 3rd country, after Belgium and Netherlands, which grants same-sex marriage rights. In addition, it’s only in Canada that we did not impose the condition which obliges the couple to live there in order to be entitled to get married on this territory.
Today, Canada in general and especially Quebec are recognized for their tolerance for differences around the whole world. Me Leopold Lincà, notary in Montreal, is a professional and a specialist civil marriage and civil union celebrant. Quebec is one of the destinations sought by homosexual couples since gay marriage is normal here; more precisely, it became normality after the passage of the Civil Marriage Act on July 20, 2005.
According to the Institute of Statistics in Quebec, almost 15% of same-sex marriages come from outside Quebec.
In other words, after the Civil Marriage Act came into force in July 2005, all Canadians were given the same rights, regardless of their sexual orientation. The equality of rights for both heterosexuals and homosexuals is guaranteed in the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms.
