Editing Homosexuality and Quakerism (section)

==== Canada ====
In [[Canada]], the main "umbrella" Quaker body, [[Canadian Yearly Meeting]], shares a similar view to the more liberal American Quaker groups, and stated in 2003 that Canadian Quakers "support the right of same-sex couples to a civil marriage and the extension of the legal definition of marriage to include same-sex couples." Since then a number of same-sex marriages have been performed at Canadian Monthly Meetings. CYM is a member of both FUM and FGC. As a result of FUM's position on homosexuality, there is ongoing debate within Canadian Yearly Meeting about CYM's relationship with FUM. Canadian Yearly Meeting in 2007 approved a letter to be sent to FUM stating that CYM has appointed a committee "to review the involvement and participation of CYM in FUM". In the meantime, CYM's financial contribution was earmarked for a specific purpose.<ref>[http://www.quaker.ca/cfriend/cfriend-2007.html#20074 The Canadian Friend – 2007<!-- Bot generated title -->] {{webarchive |url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080208051112/http://www.quaker.ca/cfriend/cfriend-2007.html#20074 |date=8 February 2008 }}</ref>
