Portugal, as expected: BBC News - Same-sex marriage law backed in Portugal's parliament

Re: More marriage for teh ghey
 

Two steps forward and one step back.

Re: More marriage for teh ghey
 

Yeah...

Well, it's not back, just not forward.

Re: More marriage for teh ghey
 

How is it not forward?

Re: More marriage for teh ghey
 

Because gay couples would still prohibited by law from adopting.

Re: More marriage for teh ghey
 

I'm still missing something. They couldn't previously marry or adopt, right? So being able to marry is a step forward, no?

Re: More marriage for teh ghey
 

That's the two steps forward that PW was talking about. I was just saying the step back is not really a step back.

Re: More marriage for teh ghey
 

:yeahthat:

On the other hand, an argument could be made that it's not really full marriage rights if even married gay couples are barred from adoption.

Re: More marriage for teh ghey
 

Yeah, it's unfinished.

Re: More marriage for teh ghey
 

Ah, gotcha.

Re: More marriage for teh ghey
 

That's why I said two steps forward, one step back. It still is going forward though, now they need to work on full rights. It always seems that is the way these things go--baby steps, with a lot of faltering. But each step forward is that much closer to full rights. So while it's good news to hear, it's not completely finished.

Re: More marriage for teh ghey
 

It's settled, then. Portugal has taken no more or less than a single step forward.

Re: More marriage for teh ghey
 

Portugese gay men?

I can picture that.

Re: More marriage for teh ghey
 

Suddenly I can't picture anything else.

So I've never understood why Doctor X capitalizes those letters. I must have missed that episode of Seinfeld. Can someone explain?

Re: More marriage for teh ghey
