Canada: Gay Catholic Priest Marrying Partner

Father Karl Clemens, 70, Canada's first openly gay Catholic priest, is getting married today to his partner, Nick. He says he'll be the first man of the Catholic cloth to enter into a same-sex marriage in Canada, and maybe even in North America, according to the Edmonton Sun. "I'm not doing it to start a revolution,", Clemens told the Sun, "but if people want to exercise their right, and so forth, that's terrific. I feel very strongly about it. I'm leading the way, or pioneering, as it were, in something that I think is very important. It's a human right" Full Story from Examiner.com: http://www.examiner.com/x-4107-International-LGBT-Issues-Examiner~y2009m11d14-Former-gay-Catholic-priest-getting-married-today-calls-marriage-a-human-right
