It seems soon more countries will be added to this list/map. After France, England and Wales made a big step forward today in legalizing same-sex marriage. Now come on Obama!
The map looks better than the list, thanks to Canada.

From the guardian website;
Quote:• MPs have voted for the gay marriage bill by 400 votes to 175 - a majority of 225. Such a large majority probably increases the chances of the bill being able to get through the House of Lords this year, without the government having to rely on the Parliament Act to push it through in 2014..
• More than half of the Tory MPs who voted chose to oppose gay marriage. Initial figures suggest that 139 Tories voted against, and only 132 voted for. Technically this is not a rebellion, because it was a free vote. But it is a severe embarrassment to David Cameron.
