Gay couple prepares for Alberta's first same-sex wedding

Gay couple prepares for Alberta's first same-sex wedding A couple preparing for Alberta's first gay marriage say they won't allow opponents to ruin their wedding. Mickey Wilson, who is marrying his partner this summer, said, "We're not stupid. We know (a protest) could be a reality, but I choose not to live in fear. I choose to live as if society afforded me all of the rights that everyone else gets." Meanwhile Alberta Justice Minister Ron Stevens has conceded that the province will be powerless to block same-sex marriage once the new federal law is in place. Alberta has been the rare and most vocal provincial opponent of gay marriage. (Thanks Lance)�
