    This makes me happy. Yet, I am wondering why it took so long and why this is still such an issue in many countries...

    Woke up here in Oz today and guess what???
    The sun is still shining, the Earth is still spinning and my hetro marriage has not been affected at all!!!!
    So glad we finally pulled our finger out but still a little embarrassed that it took so long and cost so many millions to make such a simple, obvious decision....
