Denmark Becomes Eighth European Nation to Offer Full Marriage Equality

Today the Danish Parliament voted 85 to 24 to offer full marriage equality to its gay citizens.  Denmark was the first country in the world to offer registered partnerships back in 1989.

Prime Minister Helle Thorning-Schmidt posted the following on her Facebook wall:

‘Today we allow homosexual couples to enter into marriage on equal footing as everyone else – something that Socialdemokraterne has fought for many years’.

Congratulations Denmark!  They join Belgium, Sweden, Norway, Spain, Portugal, Iceland and The Netherlands.   Read the full article from Gay Star News here.
