Equal Marriage For Same-Sex Couples
equalmarriage.ca

Kevin Bourassa and Joe Varnell launched equalmarriage.ca after their historic Jan. 14, 2001 marriage. The web site is Canada's leading source of information about same-sex marriage.

"What's wrong with gay marriage?" A series of three, 30-second television and radio spots created by award-winning Toronto agency, Zig and produced by Industry Films, were made in support of equalmarriage.ca

The couple are co-authors of the critically acclaimed book Just Married: Gay Marriage and the Expansion of Human Rights (published by Doubleday Canada and the University of Wisconsin Press). Just Married was recently translated into French and published by Les Éditions Stanké. They write for a variety of adjudicated academic journals and commercial publications (most recently in the University of New Brunswick Law Journal and the international journal Feminism and Psychology). Their speaking engagements have brought them to Europe, the United States, and across Canada.

Kevin and Joe received a Distinguished Leadership Award last month from Philadelphia-based Equality Forum, the premiere international GLBT civil rights forum. (less info)
