Iceland unanimously votes for gay marriage

[dbackjon]

Iceland, the only country in the world to have an openly gay head of state, passed a law on Friday allowing same-sex partners to get married in a vote which met with no political resistance.


The Althingi parliament voted 49 to zero to change the wording of marriage legislation to include matrimony between "man and man, woman and woman," in addition to unions between men and women.

Iceland, a socially tolerant island nation of about 320,000 people, became the first country to elect an openly gay head of state in 2009 when Social Democrat Johanna Sigurdardottir became prime minister after being nominated by her party.

Shoot, the gays have it great and are doing everything in their power to screw it up.... You get to screw a guy and when you're tired of it you just throw him out and go find a newer, younger, tighter and less emotional one.

No so if you're married... if you want to trade the wife for a newer, tighter model with less mouth and attitude you have to hire an attorney and have your nuts ripped out through your wallet over a one or two year process.

Be careful what you wish for boys...

It's only been two months since the District of Columbia legalized same-sex marriage, but local attorney Lawrence Jacobs is already cautioning his clients: Marriage may be allowed, but divorce will be much harder to do.

While the District and five states have legalized same-sex marriage and consequently allow divorces, granting same-sex divorce elsewhere is often murky. As married same-sex couples cross into states that explicitly ban or don't recognize gay marriage, they face a dilemma.

"Be careful what you ask for," says Jacobs, who consults and represents gay couples considering marriage. Jacobs married his partner in Connecticut in 2009. "When you break up, you may have a nasty fight in a court with no rules."

States across the country are grappling with their stance on gay divorce. The Texas attorney general is resisting a gay divorce approved by an Austin, Texas, judge involving a lesbian couple. Two months ago in Pennsylvania, a judge denied a divorce for two women who were married in Massachusetts. Rhode Island's top court rejected the idea of allowing gay divorce several years ago.
