You are correct... the newspapers do not have seperate sections for traditional and same-sex wedding announcements (although I can't recall seeing the National Post print any same-sex announcements...) I'm sure the same is true for Spain, The Netherlands, and Belgium - in that wedding announcements include all weddings...
As for Civil Unions in the EU (notable exceptions being Ireland & Italy), New Zealand, South Africa, Israel and a smaterring of individual states and/or provinces I'm pretty sure the above applies as well
Oh for interest sake he is a link to a map generally covering laws applying to homosexuality:
