    Denmark is reaching the same level of equality granted in the Netherlands, Belgium, Spain and Great Britain. In three of those four countries, it is legal for gay and lesbian couples to wed. In all four, it is legal for gay couples to adopt children. Denmark is a very progressive country and will soon have marriage equality too.

    Wow. How sad that children winning something like this is considered negative by some people. I am always amazed that people can put bigotry and hatred above the needs of a child.

    It's a slow process getting equal rights for everyone. Fortunately, even a few to the right of the middle are starting to come around (as evidenced by the few politicians who went against the party line to vote in favour of this).
    Sadly, though, from being at the forefront of a lot of issues like this, we here in Denmark have since fallen a bit behind lately. I hope it'll change back and we can once again be seen as a forerunner for human rights.

    As for some of the specifics of the article, we're now in the same unfortunate boat as e.g. Spain, Netherlands, Sweden etc. where, even though this law has been passed, most countries who put up children for adoption still won't accept homosexual couples as parents.
    But it's a start...
