This Is a Historic Day

Later today, the Swedish Parliament will end marriage discrimination in this country. A massive majority is expected to vote in favour of the proposed new gender-neutral marriage law. Voting is scheduled for four o’clock this afternoon.

Today, 1 April 2009, will be a historic day. For the fist time since Sweden became a Christian country, same-sex couples will be able to marry. The new marriage law will come into effect on 1 May.

If I’m not too drunk on champagne, I will post a comment once the decision has been taken.
