Sweden Gets Equal Marriage Rights

April 3, 2009

Ja!

Sweden’s parliament voted to legalize same-sex marriage on Wednesday. The vote—which, despite its date, was no April Fool’s joke—passed with an impressive 226-22 support, making Sweden the seventh country worldwide and the fifth country in Europe to provide equal marriage rights to all citizens. The law comes into effect May 1st.

Neat! And I didn’t think it was possible for more gays in Sweden to sing “I do I do I do I do I do” then there already were. Congratulations, you guys!
