That's great to hear. Now more countries need to follow them.

Here is a nice timeline http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Timelin...e-sex_marriage
I like that my country Denmark was the first country to give the same legal rights to gays
I thought we allowed marriage in the church aswell as i know some have been married there, but i cant find it on the timeline.

And this is good for Norway!

*high five*

But sadly the Swedes have better rights for couples. The only difference between a straight marriage and a gay marriage in Sweden is the name. Sadly in Denmark the marriage is a little limited. Not much but a little.

I hear Sweden's right behind.

Wikipedia has already colored Norway a lovely, lovely shade of purple in their same-sex marriage article.
