| Description | Gay couples across Canada are rushing to the altar, worried that a possible Conservative government will reverse the legalization of same sex marriages.
David Lockwood and Jason Cass got married Wednesday in Toronto.
"We decided Saturday night (to get married) Wednesday afternoon. The election is Monday. We wanted to do it before Monday," Cass said.
Conservative Leader Stephen Harper said at the beginning of the election campaign that he would allow a free vote on the issue if the Conservatives form the next government.
Pastor Mickey Wilson in Edmonton is scheduled to marry five same-sex couples in 10 days. |
