Equal Marriage rights for gays

Post by MiM » Fri Nov 28, 2014 11:00 am

In about half an hour we should now, how the Finnish parliament voted on this question. The polls say this proposal should go forward, but it will be tight. :nervous:

Thousands of people are currently peacefully demonstrating for love in front of the parliament building. The demonstration is covered live on the national TV-channels website. This is bigger than football, and even hockey!

"The unprecedented outcome marks the first time that a citizens' initiative has received lawmakers' blessing to be written into the law books. It also allows Finland to finally catch up with its Nordic peers, all of which have already legalised gay marriage. "

All Swedish men are gay. The Finns were afraid they would come and marry the more handsome Finns.
