"The gallery at the Norwegian Parliament erupted in applause and cheers on Wednesday with the passage of legislation allowing same-sex couples to marry.

Parliament voted overwhelmingly to approve the bill, despite opposition from the Christian Democrats and Progress Party."

SvarSlettthat's fantastic. do you feel especially proud to be norwegian?
SvarSlettsince i was complaining about oslo being so hot.... my karmic punishment was to return to 98 degree heat in the states.
Yes, bravo Norway!:-) Do I feel espescially proud to be Norwegian? Not really - it's about time they did this! Spain, a deeply Catholic country beat us to it. That is more impressive, I think!
