"The Norwegian government has introduced legislation allowing same-sex couples to marry and have joint custody over children."

it is very sad that our European conterparts are more accepting people than the countries we fought so many wars to try and get away from. makes me want to move there very badly. i liked this quote:

Family Issues minister Anniken Huitfeldt in introducing the bill called it "an historic step towards equality."

She also had a message for some members of Parliament who claimed the bill would weaken tradition marriage.

"The new law won't weaken marriage as an institution," Huitfeldt told Parliament.

"Rather, it will strengthen it. Marriage won't be worth less
because more can take part in it."

and i agree whole-heartedly
