This morning I spied an article about Portugal and permitting gay marriage (after I saw one for a Seattle guy being beating out side of a Filipino community center, but I digress). I thought it was rather cool and picked this from the article:
Gay marriage is currently permitted in Belgium, the Netherlands, Spain, Sweden and Norway. Canada, South Africa and six U.S. states also permit it.
Now, I’m not going to get married anytime soon (I think you have to date someone on a regular basis for that to happen) – but I think that’s cool that these guys are the front runners in equal rights for all men and women.
Quote from the Prime Minister (Socrates) of Portugal: “It’s a slight change to the law, it’s true, but it is a very important and symbolic step towards fully ensuring respect for values that are essential in any democratic, open and tolerant society: the values of freedom, equality and non-discrimination.”
