Is gay marriage legal in your country?
-
nope and frankly for me personally there are far more important issues to tackle in my book
i get angry when the government of this nation talks about having Same-sex marriage plebiscite
that's 600 Million dollars AUS that can be spent in other areas far more important.Australia is unlike the US , we already have firm laws that protect all its citizens , even before US legalised same sex marriage we had and still do have a lot of laws protecting defacto relationships that includes gays.
so the horror stories you hear about one partner dying , making the other homeless,doesnt happen over here.if people want to have a civil marriage , then just make it law get it over and done with , just don't waste money on this nonsensical issue that only benefits a privileged few.
marriage , be it same sex or otherwise has never had a trickle down effect for anyones rights. as an institution its based on unequal rights anyway,by its very nature its "we have rights afforded above yours".
to say it can have an effect on other areas is like using the failed statement and excuse that giving the upper elite more tax cuts means that wealth trickles down , that is bullshit , same as the bullshit that same sex marriage will be the panacea for all issues that non heterosexuals face. -
Yes (finally) but with fierce opposition
-
Not yet, only civil unions
-
Yes - Belgium here. But it might be difficult to marry a foreigner, especially a non-EU one.

If I understand the legalities corerctly it's actually illegal not to perform "gay" marriage here. (Though we just call it "marriage" regardless of genders now). A priest would have the right to refuse on personal grounds but the church itself cannot deny it, they'd have to call in another priest.
At least that goes for the state churches. Personally I wouldn't set foot in one, there are plenty of other religions or civil marriages that are the exact same in the judicial sense and you're still married. Just not in a building symbolic of thousands of years of oppression..
Well, my view anyways. No offense intended. -
in Mauritius, gay marriage is not legal. my country is way backwards in terms of lgbt rights. the last gay pride was marked by radical islamists counter demonstrating to share their hate and ignorance - i guess inspired by that piece of trash called quran. disgusting quranimals.

Oui
-
The country where I came from, although one of the most gay-friendly country, we are still predominantly a Catholic country, so no but there are law being passed through congress to make it legal :cool2:
-
Yes
-
homosexuality is a crime here
-
Portugal: yes. And adoption by same sex couples.
-
Nope.
-
iam stay in Holland (amsterdam ) everything is legal ;D
-
Nope and probably never will be , though i don't give a shit if it is , a lot of my friends want to get married
Australia is super conservative , many people don't realise that we are more conservative as a western nation than any other
hell even XXX porn is illegal here -
Yup.
-
Not by a long shot, for now it will remain a "wishful thinking"
-
iam stay in France (Paris ) everything is legal :cheers: :hug:
-
Very much so in the UK and should be everywhere else!

Greetings from Montreal. In Canada gay marriage was legalized in 2004, here in Quebec. I got married in November of 2004 to my hubby.

As far as I know, in Mexico we only have Civil Unions (or partnerships).
Recently they wanted to legalize gay marriage and adoption but of course, being the religion-plagued cesspool Mexico is, groups have started to march on the streets against it.
I don't really care if they change civil union to 'marriage' as long as they offer me the same rights and privileges (of course I'll be willing to assume the obligations too)
Regarding adoption…meh...personally I don't want other people's children I rather use a surrogate to get my own.
