Let me give you the charts:
1. Netherlands
2. Belgium
3. Spain
4. Canada
5. South Africa
Notice anything? Still Guessing? Today, South Africa has officialy more equality and more rights than America. DID I HEAR THAT CORRECTLY! Yes you did, A country with apartheid and deep discrimination just a few years back now has MORE RIGHTS to its citizens than do America.

The South African Constitution Court ordred that the Government Legalize GAY MARRIAGE. The Constitution of South Africa forbids discrimination against gays and lesbians, and South Africa has been extremely friendly towards gays. BUT TODAY THEY ARE AHEAD OF THE CURVE!

The Following countries will also deal with Gay Marriage Issues. Both Norway and Sweden's governements have promised to introduce legislation. Israel's Supreme Court will hear a case about Gay Marriage Recognition for Gay Marriage done abroad. In Israel only Rabbi's do marriages, but the Israel Government has always recognized marriage done abroad since Rabbi's don't marry Christians or Divorcees etc. Israel already has Civil Partnership for Gay Couples. Both Israel and South Africa are seen as ahead of curve for Gay Rights. Exspecially in their regions, but also on a global scale.
