Portugal backs same-sex marriage

In mild procrastination of remaining course work: a short blog post.

In the week when New Jersey has shot down gay marriage, Portugal parliament backs same-sex marriage. Sadly, they didn't think too much of letting married gays adopt though.

Quote: "The ratification would make Portugal the sixth country in Europe to allow same-sex marriages after Belgium, the Netherlands, Spain, Sweden and Norway." England may not be on the list, but civil partnerships here = equal rights so I'm not complaining too much; and I'm still calling our civil partnership a wedding.

Next week, no more MA for me = more time to write about wedding schtuff. Oh, and work. Alex is busy as ever with placement but somehow we find the time. Happy weekend, y'all.
