A Happy Day in Portugal
I mentioned earlier about the progress being made in Portugal. Their move towards marriage equality became real today, with the marriage of Helena Paixao and Teresa Pires. Congrats to them! Let's hope that Portugal continues towards full marriage equality and that other countries do, too.

Praise For Portugal
Good news. Portugal is taking a step towards marriage equality.
Now, Portugal needs to move forward and legalize marriage for three or more, and consanguineous marriage. The country has no laws against consanguineous sex, but hasn’t reached marriage equality in that area, either. One step forward towards full marriage equality – let’s keep it going.
Portugal's President Anibal Cavaco Silva says he will sign a law legalising same-sex marriage passed by parliament earlier this year.
The law had been fiercely opposed by conservatives in the Catholic country.
The ratification will make Portugal the sixth country in Europe to allow same-sex marriage after Belgium, Spain, Norway, the Netherlands and Sweden.
