Spain set to back gay marriages
Spain set to back gay marriages

parliament is expected to vote for a second time in favour of legalising gay marriage.

The move will overrule last week's rejection of the bill by the upper house, the Senate.

The bill will then become a law in a month's time, making Spain Europe's third nation after the Netherlands and Belgium to allow same sex marriages.

A Roman Catholic group has presented MPs with a 600,000-signature petition opposing the legislation.

3. Great for Spain
but it is also scary at the same time. To see that many people protesting against GLBT-folk gives me the chills. How far would they go in taking out their anger on gays?
