'The bill will become law in a month's time, making Spain Europe's third nation after the Netherlands and Belgium to allow same sex marriages.'


More good news! Yay today!

Very impressive that Spain in particular has done this. That said, my own position is that nations should only ensure that 'non-traditional' couples are not disadvantaged legally or financially; terminology is unimportant. If 'marriage' as a term in itself is religious, then who gets to be married is down to the church, irrespective of how progressive, loopy, or plain backwards they are.
