Now there are four

Spain just legalized same-sex marriage, becoming the third (Canada still has to pass bill C-38 through their senate) or fourth (apparently the Canadian senate always approves bills that are passed through the house of commons) country in the world that doesn't discriminate in issuing marriage licenses.

The hall of fame now contains

  1. the Netherlands
  2. Belgium
  3. Canada
  4. Spain

Note that the United States isn't on that list; in the self-proclaimed "beacon of freedom and democracy", the bigots are trying to write discrimination against gay people into the constitution.

Some is forgetting Denmark which was the very first country in the world to legalise same-sex marriage back in the 1990s

But don't Denmark (and Norway and Sweden) allow a civil-union style of arrangement instead of marriage? Civil Unions are an acceptable alternative, but separate but equal arrangements are almost never actually equal.
