EDIT: On the BBC article about it, my city's ex-mayor is quoted! I was in a concert with him once.

Which ones are the first two?
Posted by Angiomorphism (Member # 8184) on :
Belgium and the Netherlands
Posted by Corwin (Member # 5705) on :
D'uh! I knew about the Netherlands, but didn't think that Belgium is as liberal as them. Well, woopty-doo! (enthusiastic one, in case you're wondering )

Hey, didn't King of Men say it was generally legal in Scandinavia at one point?
Posted by Puppy (Member # 6721) on :
Or maybe it's just never been ILLEGAL there. Those crazy Vikings ... Posted by Angiomorphism (Member # 8184) on :

You know, I've an image of hordes of angry Canadian bigots fleeing into the U.S. to find that they're only moderately nicer than your average American.

Well, I guess we will see you in the first wave then....not that you are a bigot about same sex marriages, but you obviously are ( ) one about the US.... Posted by digging_holes (Member # 6237) on :
No, that "woopty-doo" was the opposite of enthusiasm.
Since I've already been branded a bigot for opposing this completely misguided piece of legislation, I don't see why I should now prevent myself from saying that this is the very first time in my entire life that I have been truly, genuinely ashamed of being Canadian.

Well, I'm going to voice my extreme pleasure in this for passing. Good for Canada.

yeah.... Posted by digging_holes (Member # 6237) on :
Danzig, I don't know if you were trying to be funny or not. I'll give you the benefit of the doubt. That site is extremely insulting, offensive and hateful, and has no place in any type of respectable discussion. I'd rather you not link to it.

Yeah, what you said.
Yo Canada! I think marriage is a good thing (I'm married and it has been a positive thing all around). I would encourage couples with a serious committment to each other to get married already. Whether you are gay or not, whether you think homosexuals are cool or icky, marriage is an institution that strengthens society. What could be wrong with that?
