Passing on the news from lj: nadjalee
Norway has granted equal marriage rights to same sex couples. This means there are now 6 countries in the world who grants equal rights: The Netherlands, Belgium, Canada, Norway, South Africa and Spain.
In the USA two states does this; Massachusetts and California. Most states have banned equal marriage though so there is quite an uphill battle there. ;(
