The most beautiful part is how it's such a non-issue there. Can you imagine if the President (any president) were to divorce their spouse and marry someone of the same sex? The shit storm would be absolutely epic.

I know. I kind of want to move to Iceland now, especially after seeing this (not gay related, but pretty funny)
