Norway Proposes Gay Marriage Measure

OSLO, Norway (AP) — The Norwegian government proposed a marriage law Friday that would give gay couples the same rights as heterosexuals, including church weddings, adoption and assisted pregnancies.

The new legislation would replace a 1993 law that granted gays the right to enter civil unions similar to marriage but did not give them other benefits enjoyed by married couples.

I want my marriage rights!

For my people a beautiful day, she is dawning. Go Norway!

Since most states are too chickenshit to follow Massachusetts's lead, it would be nice if the more liberal chickenshit states would pass legislation that would somehow recognize marriages performed in other states. And think of all the pink dollars that would be headed Boston's way. Or maybe Cape Cod's.

Including assisted pregnancies?

That would cut down on our shopping time!

Frankly I'm surprised this hasn't happened sooner. Ja, Norge!

Maybe they'll let me move in. But isn't immigration banned? I'll just explain that my great-grandparents accidentally got on the Ellis Island boat, not the harbor tour boat like they intended.

Peace bee unto your hive and your rights for living in love and happiness and all things medical and spiritually blissfull...
how's that for putting a good lip service to bigotry and intolerance????

If someone wants to say God only loves men and women with babies and a white wedding tell them to move to China and have one kid each and ask the Chinese to send one family here preferably gay that will not only work for labor rates that are appreciated on both sides of the aisle but also may bring back instant karma and get rid of the perpetual religeous right death bullets of intollerance.

There ya have it... hot or cold christians.... and remember that Jesus said to love your neighbor like you love yourself... especially if they slap you in the cheek... remember to turn the other cheek also!!!!

.....AND no usual s&m jokes if it doesn't fit the bride and grooms wedding planner for gods sake!!!!

phew.... i love to yell when given the power to love everybody...metaphorically that is...

the joking ghost of a reformed spirit that could be resurrected in a play about sum-sara in a turn around seen by mr. breakwaith....

Plush Rumbah-Hum-bOg!!

p.s. oops!! did I not think through the issues of international foreign trade rates for market capitalist freelance news corpororations retaing lots of huge legalists copywriters for the pharmacutical insurance peddelers??

p.p.s. this comment should help the guilty complexes.... don't steal!!! not bikes... not candy.... not cheese and definately not bb's from an old story from 40 years ago.... minors watch out for creeps digging ditches in the obituaries!!!!

Your registry alone would be worth changing the laws to make this matrimony happen.
