And Iceland Makes -- Hmm, How Many Now?

Same-sex marriage is now legal in Iceland.

The nation of Iceland, which is the only country with an openly gay head of state, voted unanimously on Friday to legalize same-sex marriage.

The Althingi parliament voted 49-0 to change the wording of its marriage legislation to include same-sex couples.

It looks like we're getting left in the company of such progressive nations as Saudi Arabia, Iran, and the Vatican.
