Heartiest congratulations - your ...I'm dazzled. Heartiest congratulations - your immense hard work in the vineyard of the Lord has borne wonderful fruit. <br /><br />I know that on your side of the Atlantic, in the midst of the week's euphoria, it will be difficult to look elsewhere - but there has been more good news also, that is not American.<br /><br />The French government has stood firm against strong conservative opposition - and Catholic bishops - and confirmed that equality legislation will proceed next year.<br /><br />Spanish courts have roundly rejected an appeal by the conservative government, that the Spanish legislation is unconstitutional.<br /><br />The New Zealand parliament is engaged in committee stage hearings on their legislation, which is likely to pass next year. One of the witnesses was a Canadian cleric who testified that Canadian experience was that gay marriage strengthened the society.<br /><br />Add in Finland, which is sheduled to legislate next year (including provision for gay church weddings),and Colombia, which is obliged by court order to make provision, and that's at least four countries that will in 2013 add to the existing eleven).<br /><br />For good measure, at the other end of the scale there's even good news from Africa: Malawi is proposing the decriminalization of homosexuality.<br /><br />It's been a great week.
