Yay! Now it just has to pass through the House of Lords and we'll be one step closer to equality.

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!
Quote:Netherlands (2001) 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..
lol.
Gay marriage legal in South Africa?!?! A country in which homosexuals fear for their lives, are regulary raped and oftern emigrate.
Double-post because of a shared enthousiasm. The admin will fix it.
Until then; From the bbc-website; Quote:South Africa, in November 2006, became the first African country to bring in marriage for gay couples - despite homosexuality remaining taboo in large parts of the continent.
Want me to merge this thread with the one I posted?
Actually, I don't care :-) the message comes through. Delete this one, or yours or whatever :-)

Commons may have passed it, lords, may be a bit more challenging.
"Religion is regarded by the common people as true, by the wise as false, and by the rulers as useful" - Edward Gibbon (Offen misattributed to Lucius Annaeus Seneca or Seneca the Younger) (Thanks to apophenia for the correction)
'I am driven by two main philosophies: Know more about the world than I knew yesterday and lessen the suffering of others. You'd be surprised how far that gets you' - Neil deGrasse Tyson "Sometimes I wonder whether the world is being run by smart people who are putting us on or by imbeciles who really mean it." - Mark Twain RE: Legislation for gay marriage is approved in the UK House of Commons!

Hey, if it goes through: good for them
Please give me a home where cloud buffalo roam
Where the dear and the strangers can play
Where sometimes is heard a discouraging word
But the skies are not stormy all day
