No, in Germany gay marriage is not legal. But gays (and lesbians) can register a civil partnership here.

I know it's pretty sad that I can't say for sure–100% across the board, whether or not it is, seeing as I've lived here forever.
It's just I hear so many little blurbs about this state or that, which I really don't pay much attention to, and currently there isn't any need for my concern.
Guessing…I'd say, for the most part, I think it is recognized in some form or another, depending on the particular state, but I wouldn't be willing to "stake my life" on it. ???

Yes. In Brazil, same-sex marriage was legalized in 2013 by a Supreme Court ruling. However, it is not recognized in the constitution. Gay couples are provided the same rights as those of the "traditional" marriages, including adoption and surrogacy, but some local judges have refused to issue certificates alleging freedom of religion, which forces the pair to appeal.
Nevertheless, the country is a potentially dangerous place for the LGBT community due to its pretty conservative society, inefficient criminal justice system and homophobic police. If the same-sex legalization depended on a plebiscite, it would have hardly happened.

Malaysia - Absolutely NOT, as it is a predominantly Muslim country. In fact, like Kenya, "carnal intercourse against the order of nature" is punishable by up to 20 years in jail, and whipping. However, this provision is mainly only used for arbitrary political persecution.
Funny story… In 2010, the Film Censorship Board of Malaysia announced it would only allow depiction of homosexual characters as long as the characters "repent" or die. :cheesy2: :cheesy2:

still not in Australia go figure

Oh… quite shocked about the Australia thing since I've come to know of it as quite a liberal country (minus the Pauline Hanson thing)... I remember watching on TV that both parties were in support of gay marriage prior to the Federal elections... but I did some research after your comment and realized that that plebiscite is still not under way...
All the best in the near future..

Pakistan - Punished with imprisonment for life. But there is no case has been reported yet. While government has no issue what two guys are doing in a room or living together for their whole life etc.
Dating applications like Grindr is super popular here.. you will found hundreds of guys looking for sex all the time.. even sometime i have found 10-20 men within 2 KM ;D
-
Yes in Argentine. Once the marriage law was modified by the congress our lives have become in something alot better. Step by step our society has become to be open minded.
-
Sweden is one of the most gay-friendliest places in the world, so yes.
-
We have an charge name of anal sex here. So gay marriage is a thing far far away.
-
no , and i don't see any hope in any near future.. in china

It's not legal here in Hungary, and it's not gonna change for decades I guess. The current government introduced a new constitution a few years ago which says that marriage is between a man and a woman and families are made up of a husband, a wife and their children only, which is kind of infuriating and ludicrous. There was a case last year where a grandfather went to a pool with his grandchildren, and they weren't entitled to the family ticket because according to the law they are not considered a family…
But hey, there is civil partnership, which is only available for same-sex couples, and comes with almost all the benefits that a marriage would provide to a couple.
Also, you can adopt a child, but not as a couple, and you can't adopt your partner's children to become their co-guardian or something. Also last year there was an incident where a lesbian couple wanted to adopt a roma little girl with disability, whom nobody wanted. Everything seemed to go smoothly and the 3 of them had been living happily together for 2 weeks when child services took the girl away from them because of their "disturbing way of living".

It's legal in Slovenia. So legal that we had to vote do we want in marriage papers to be written partners as gay ppl wanted or as it used to be husband and/or wife. It's still done the old way. First one was at the end of February this year. There are still rules against adoption and insemination tho. They're legal in Austria as well.
-
No, it is illegal in Egypt
-
In Brazil it is. But life didn't get much better… this place is still hell for gay people, disguised to the rest of the world as an open and accepting friendly place.
true!
-
Yes, it's legal in the US…although my state was one of the remaining ones that didn't have it legalized until the supreme court stepped in.

In Australia, we have one of the most open and inclusive societies in the world. We have the biggest gay celebration in the world. We have free adoption and IVF laws. For women we were the first country in the world to give women the vote. Abortion has been legal since the early 80's. While being gay is still not totally accepted by the whole country, it is most cities and most country towns, there is very few places left where you will not find out and proud gay people, and a lot of couples with children. We have all the same rights as straights do except marriage. Gay people are recognized as being in a DE FACTO relationship (any couple living together for 2 years or more) the same as straight couples. Which means that the government lists you as being a couple and will tax you as being in a couple, but when it comes to other laws they don't. For example, If my partner were in hospital, i am not listed as his next of kin. So his mother or father could refuse me from being at his bedside in the hospital. Problem is that for the last few elections we have had a conservative government who are split up the middle in their party, but around 75% - 80% of the Australian public are for gay marriage. They just refuse to vote on it. All our media debates it DAILY and still they refuse to budge. It does make me angry, but it will happen in the near future. On reading a lot of your posts and hearing that its still not accepted to be gay, let alone get married makes me feel for you people, makes me glad that i live here. DON'T GIVE UP!!!!!!
