    seems like Europe is wayyyyy ahead of Asia, which could only mean it would be decades before any positive progress can be even made

    As much as that is happy-making, it is still sad. "The land of the free, and the home of the brave.." still cannot accept what it does not know and brave up and say "We allow gay-marriage!"

    About 502 million people have marriage equality, or 7% of the world.

    We actually legalized gay marriage here in Norway in 2008, but it didn't come into effect until 2009. That's why it says 2009 most places, but it actually happened in 2008.
