Check out the list - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Recognition_of_same-sex_unions_in_Europe. I reckon when it hits 50:50 throughout Europe, the EU might finally start using the ECHR to pressure their remaining members.


Even though I don't really see that happening I'm kinda hoping that it will. Considering that all either big countries or rich countries in EU are working towards equality. Spain has it, France has it, UK almost has it, Germany Bundesrat passed the initiative to Bundestag, Finland is working towards it, Luxembourg is working towards it... So what's exactly left in EU? Conservative Slavs, Italy and their clergy, conservative part of Baltic region, Hungary, Grece... And that's kinda it.

I know that we here in Croatia have a new "Family law" in works. It was already supposed to be in front of the parliament, but considering the current economic struggles and local election that will be next month, it has been delayed a bit. The law should introduce something inbetween civil union and full marriage, that will apparently be called life partnership. The parliant is currently controlled by liberal majority, and even though they do support "gay adoption" it will not be part of this law. the explanation is that the community is not yet ready for it. I think that they are taking the wrong approach. They should just introduce the full marriage considering that they have enough votes to amend the constitution. The nationalists and church would be loud for some time, but it would blow over. And since everybody is on their best behavior to show to EU that we are not savages, it would IMO go rather "civil". (The accession process is almost done, I think that only Germany and Denmark are left, and here are plans for 1. July entry celebrations already in works. YAY! more pointless spending...)


It would be great to go straight for marriage, but things like this "life partnership" do end up helping. At least here in the UK, we got civil partnership first and now we have more leverage when going for marriage (amazingly the world didn't end after all).

Another one adds to the list - I called France to be the next one somewhere! I must be some kind of oracle. :)

Ohhh Axum- while I'm here, can you upgrade me to the LGBTA list? xD

Also, retagging! Man, what an eventful post

First, Yoshiya, then you... intriguing.

Are you insinuating what I think you are insinuating there?

Totally.



Signature goes here!

Haha, it's not like that. It was more of a case (for me at least) that knowing I wasn't the only person I knew that was that way inclined made it easier for me to accept it myself. Previously I'd felt slightly weird being the only person that I knew well that was thinking about being bisexual. (I didn't even know Radish was bisexual until his first post in this thread).

Besides, Radish already has a gf.

Pretty much this, although I've been bisexual for years so I'm surprised that the first you figured of it was in this thread xD maybe if I was single, but I'm really happy with my current relationship so yeah :D

Oh trust me, me and DT thought it might be the case seeing how you reacted but we never had any confirmation.

Reacted was the wrong word but I realised too late haha. I meant to say behaviour (although reaction wouldn't be completely unrelated for example the way you reacted to porn and the way you reacted to me when I originally said I might be gay (about a year and a half ago now O.o))

Oh I said something about nobody is 100% heterosexual, didn't I? xD I guess that's as good a hint as any! I don't remember anything about porn though ahah- but I'm sure I said something somewhere along the line- I never really tried to hide anything :D

Is there a male equivalent for "butter face" ?



He doesn't row.

Jakobs. We know if you've got wood in your hand, you're happy.
