    So will Norway.. Norway is already including gay issues, hoomophobia, relationships etc. in school books.

    Also, our government wanted the kids in kindergarten to read "gay fairytales" with two princes or two princesses. This was VERY controversial, and the whole bible belt of Norway accused them of "making the kids gay", same old crap from the christians. They even made a facebook group against it. Oh no! Gay fairytales, the horror! LMAO.

    I want to move to the Netherlands when I grow old! :grin:
    Well, if the gender-neutral marriage gets working here in Finland, I might not.

    Yep...same old crap. Love is love and kids understand that very well. I have parents in my daycare who are perfectly fine with me teaching their children that not all families are the same. (!)(!)(!)
