Description
December 17 Winnipeg Chief County Court Judge Alan R. Philp ruled that a homosexual couple cannot be considered married because they are of the same sex. The ruling ended the appeal by Richard North and Chris Vogel, married in a Winnipeg Unitarian Church on February 11, 1974, to legalize their union by having it recorded as a vital statistic. The appeal had been launched after D.W. Matheson, Manitoba's recorder of vital statistics, refused to recognize the marriage.
