Same-sex marriage has been legal in Quebec since March 19, 2004. Quebec became the third Canadian province (after Ontario and British Columbia) and the fifth jurisdiction in the world to open marriage to same-sex couples. Court rulingOn March 19, 2004, the Quebec Court of Appeals ruled similarly to the Ontario and British Columbia courts, upholding Hendricks and Leboeuf v. Quebec and ordering that it take effect immediately.[1] The couple who brought the suit, Michael Hendricks and René Leboeuf, immediately sought a marriage licence; the usual 20-day waiting period was waived, and they were wed on April 1 at the Palais de justice de Montréal. The Quebec decision meant that more than two-thirds of the Canadian population were living in provinces where same-sex marriage is legal. Subsequent cases, as well as federal legislation, have expanded this number to cover the entire country. Provincial legislationCivil unions{{main article|Civil unions in Quebec}}In 2002, the National Assembly of Quebec unanimously legalized civil unions ({{lang-fr|union civile}}) for both same-sex and opposite-sex partners.[2] The law included the right for couples in civil unions to adopt children jointly. MarriageIn November 2004, An Act to amend the Civil Code as regards marriage ({{lang-fr|Loi modifiant le Code civil relativement au mariage}}) was enacted, replacing the words "husband and wife" ({{lang-fr|homme et femme}}) with "spouses" ({{lang-fr|époux}}).[3] Quebec became the first province in Canada to bring its laws in line with the legalisation of same-sex marriage and add a gender-neutral definition of spouse in its marriage laws. Public opinionA 2017 CROP poll showed that Quebec had the highest popular support for same-sex marriage in Canada, at 80%. Nationwide, 74% of Canadians found it "great that in Canada, two people of the same sex can get married". 26% disagreed.[4][5] References1. ^Same-sex marriage in Quebec 2. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.assnat.qc.ca/en/travaux-parlementaires/projets-loi/projet-loi-84-36-2.html |title=Bill n°84 : An Act instituting civil unions and establishing new rules of filiation |publisher=National Assembly of Quebec |accessdate=February 12, 2016}} 3. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.assnat.qc.ca/en/travaux-parlementaires/projets-loi/projet-loi-59-37-1.html |title=Bill n°59 : An Act to amend the Civil Code as regards marriage|publisher=National Assembly of Quebec|accessdate= February 12, 2016}} 4. ^[https://sondage.crop.ca/survey/start/CAWI/blogue/19-tabl-En.pdf I find it great that in our society, two people of the same sex can get married, CROP Panorama] 5. ^[https://www.crop.ca/en/blog/2017/207/ Are you in favour of same-sex marriage? 74% of Canadians and 80% of Quebecers support it (and Death in Venice by Benjamin Britten)] External links
