Scotland to legalize Gay Marriage

That's right folks. Another glorious Western nation has fallen victim to the unscrupulous, evil, Gay Agenda.

EDINBURGH, Scotland — Scotland becomes the 17th country in the world to legalize same-sex marriage, after the Scottish Parliament on Tuesday passed the Marriage and Civil Partnership (Scotland) Bill by an overwhelming majority.

105 Members of the Scottish Parliament (MSPs) voted in favor, 18 objected and 0 abstained.

Five last minute amendments putting limits on the Marriage Equality bill, by Christian MSP John Mason, were rejected.

Secretary for Health and Well Being, Alex Neil, stated during the vote: “Scotland is a nation that cherishes love. I commend this bill to the chamber, and invite MSPs to support it.”


Yea or Nay, NSG? And will this trend continue?

I made its own topic because I knew it'd get buried in the Mega Thread.

Great news :)

Really, the world needs to let them have the same rights as heterosexual couples :)

Scotland isn't a sovereign country as the article implies. But, it is a good thing that same-sex marriage was legalized there.

They can't exactly blame bad weather in Scotland on gay marriage. It's always terrible.

Happy that its the case, legitimately happy this time, since there doesn't seem to be an ulterior motive for the action as was the case down in England.

[insert overly excited comment here]
Your nation is like a son. What it does right is your merit, as well as what it does wrong is your fault. When you praise it, be lucid and avoid exaggeration. Praising it too much can make it indolent. On the other hand, when you criticize it, be harsh, but do not ridicule it. Do your best to improve it, not through derision or disdain, but through good examples and dedication.
