Denmark to legalize gay marriage!

From The Advocate, it appears that Denmark is on the verge of legalizing gay marriage.  Another win for marriage equality!

According to the Copenhagen Post, the government plans to introduce a bill after the New Year that would allow same-sex couples, who are currently entitled to the civil status of “registered partnerships,” to hold weddings in the Church of Denmark and be considered “married” under the law.

Not surprisingly, this has made some religious people mad.  Because people falling in love and committing themselves to each other is just too much love to be allowed to go unchallenged.

Also:

Civil unions between same-sex partners became legal in Denmark in 1989. Recent polls show that almost 70% of the population supports allowing same-sex couples to marry in the church. 

Nice!  Way to go Denmark!
