It’s a good day to be gay in Norway! The nation’s parliament voted 84-41 today to legalize gay marriage and adoption, a direct reflection of the public’s progressive politics. Here’s the nitty-gritty:
Norway’s parliament on Wednesday adopted a new marriage law that allows homosexuals to marry and adopt children and permits lesbians to be artificially inseminated.
After a heated debate, the members of parliament adopted the text by a vote of 84 to 41.
The three centre-left coalition parties in power and two opposition parties, the Conservatives and the Liberals, voted largely in favour of the law, while the Christian Democrats and the far-right Progress Party voted against it.
Norway thus became the sixth country in the world to grant homosexuals the right to marry on an equal footing with heterosexuals, according to Norwegian television TV2.
…
The most controversial part of the law is that which gives lesbians the right to be artificially inseminated. The sperm donor must be identified so that the child can seek out his or her biological father at the age of 18.
Yeah, a barely legal bastard child sounds bad, but then you can just have them make up for all the chores they missed!

Hey Churchill, I hope your head doesn’t explode, but did you hear Norway was going to allow gays to adopt African children and use African sperm for the artificial insemination.
Actually, I hope your head does explode you RPS (racist piece of shit).

The “Conservatives” voted for + the “Progress Party” against?
That trips me out, just going by their names alone.

Oh dear another country gives Jesus the finger! I’m sure wherever he’s at up in the sky he’s an emotional wreck.

I’ve been to Norway. It’s a beautiful country. But, my clearest memory is that the country is full of lefty loons. This proves it.
And, Jason, while you were likely being sarcastic in your remarks above, I’m sure that Jesus truly is hanging his head in shame wondering why his flock has gone astray…….

Welcome to the future, Norway!!!
“The three centre-left coalition parties in power and two opposition parties, the Conservatives and the Liberals, voted largely in favour of the law, while the Christian Democrats and the far-right Progress Party voted against it.”
I do love a democracy. 7 parties sharing power!
The poor USA are still stuck in a 2-party system and that might be the root of their problems.

Wow, this is fantastic news! Yay for Norway! Now what about the other Scandinavian countries? And Australia and New Zealand? (I believe Argentina might be next…)

Being a Norwegian I am proud that my home country has passed this act. The only real opposition against the law comes from the religious right (a group I normally affiliate with).
Now I pray that Sweden may follow (they are working on it). Denmark, where I live, has no plans for the immediate future. But Denmark’s civil unions are not particularly discriminating, the major difference is that it is not called marriage (the Church of Denmark even has it’s own liturgy for blessing civil unions, something that will not happen in my home country for at least 10-20 years).

And there’s something wrong with Leftist Loonies? haha

I´m fed up of conservatives spreading lies.
Are Norwegians use African sperm from children? Ridiculous. But this is the way they have to act to make people be shocked and reject social progress, as knowledge and reason knock far-right supporters out. The only way to stop progress is by manipulating information. I once heard -when the Netherlands passed euthanasia- that aged people were searched for and locked in lorries to get euthanasied. I have lived in the Netherlands and all this stuff make me laugh. Poor bigots, always fighting against time and future !!

We REALLY must cease using an anachronistic and offensive word like “bastard” in relation to children.
If for no other reason than it paints the one who uses in his true colours.
There are several other words that might be said to have a similar effect…

I reserve the use of “bastard” for people whom I dislike, but not fatherless children.

Norwegians are hot!
