Why Thee Wed?

This National Film Board documentary examines the legal and social questions that surround same-sex marriage in British Columbia. Eight couples challenging the Canadian law on same-sex marriage are profiled. The interviews with these couples put a human face on this topic, and include some discussion of the role of marriage and its desirability for gay and lesbian couples. This video would be a good fit for Social Justice 12 classes discussing same-sex marriage from a Canadian perspective.
