Update: The same-sex marriage fallout

1. Chief Justice Beverley McLachlin, standing in for Governor General Adrienne Clarkson, has given royal assent to Bill C-38. It's now the law of the land.

2. Despite the futile objections of Premier Ralph Klein, Alberta, Canada's most conservative province, has issued its first marriage license to a gay couple.

3. Predictably, the Vatican has denounced the legalization of same-sex marriage in Canada. Not that it really matters. Canada has moved ahead on this vital human-rights issue, and there's no looking back.
