nice, but does that mean that in like 3 years we’ll be back in 2001 according to this graph?

Why Northern Ireland doesn’t approve it in 2014 like Great Britain ???

I’ve always been under the impression that this had been done a long time ago. Crazy. Or maybe not. I suppose you can argue that the act of marriage has a religious background so while it’s ‘generally accepted’ that gay couples exist, marriage does not. Which wouldn’t even be such big of an issue if not for perks being attached to marriage. Like in Germany you save on taxes I believe.
I’d also be curious to see a similar graph for something related to trans right. From my own experience a lot of people seem way more accepting of LGB than the T or Q, so to say.

Are all that marriage or civil partnerships?
SinisterCheese on
There are people in Finland who to this day still bang on about “Real marriage” as in: “Gay people shouldn’t get married because the bible says so”.
In which case I have since the beginning fought them with this. “*Ok. Lets say gays can’t get married, but instead they get Plömplöm. Plömplöm includes all the same inheritance, tax, property and other legal rights including custody of potential children, and it is purely a legal framework… Lets sweeten the deal, people who are part of the Lutherian Church of Finland are not elligible for Plömplöm.*” For some reason…. they aren’t for Plömplöm either.
Hmm… Maybe it wasn’t about the bible and making Jeebus sad afterall?
(Those who don’t get the joke… I just took the things which belong to *marriage* as a legal structure and added a silly made up label for them).

The year 2016 is clearly marked, but has no new countries? Is this to signify the passing of Harambe?

Nice one Italy – keep dragging your feet.

Even Liechtenstein allows same-sex marriage and they have like 100 gays maybe meanwhile my country keeps doing r******d justifications on why it’s ok to discriminate certain groups of people.
I don’t even have to list those reasons here because in every country across the planet they use the same stupid arguments.
LyannaTarg on
And then there is us (Italy) where we are still waiting for a government courageous enough to do this…
If only the left was bold enough against these alt right parties… and if only the left will risk doing and talking about something good for a change instead of saying: “we are not them” maybe then we will have real progress.
Alas this will not be the case.

The Bulgarian Constitution says that marriage is an union between a man and a woman, so it won’t happen there.

For what it’s worth, we were at least the first (1989) in the world to recognize same sex relationships, giving 95% of regular marriage rights.
Not sure why it took so long for the last bit.

Has the Prince of Liechtenstein actually given his consent to that? Afaik he is extremely conservative and actually does veto some decisions made by parliament

Denmark should have an addendum: Same sex unions were legalised in 1989 (as the first country in the world).
The 2012 was just to update the law from differentiating between “legal union” and “marriage”, to that a union of two adults is always called a marriage, no matter the sexes of the two people.
