As a US citizen, I don't know if this will actually work, but at least the folks in Alberta putting up a fight.

YOU GOT THAT RIGHT

Our Priemer, Ralph Klien says that it will Not happen in Alberta. And he has a huge majority of the populace behind him. Tell me, are there not a large number of States in the US that have legalized same sex marriages.?

I'm not an expert on the topic...but I think only the state of Vermont has
passed anything resembling anything close to real "same-sex marraige".
IIRC, most of these ceremonies are performed for couples from states other than VT.

I think (and am fully open to correction), but the "gay weddings" you see,
especially the mass ceremonies in places like San Francisco are just
"show" marriages, not recognized legally.

Amazing as it will seem, California passed a "protection of marriage"
(as in only for man-woman union) a few years ago by state referendum.
I think it passed with something like 65-70% of the vote.

I suspect this didn't get that much national press coverage, nor a court
invalidation...the gay-agenda parts of the national media doesn't want the
rest of the USA (or the world for that matter) to know that the concept of gay marriage
doesn't even fly with 50% of Californians.

I give the gay Nazis credit. Just like Adolph and his buddies, they know how
to hang on and bid their time on their way to seizing power over matrimony.
