The Legislature overrode Gov. Jim Douglas's veto making Vermont the fourth state in the US to allow same-sex couples to marry, and the first to do so without a court order - by just by one vote.
Iowa became the third state in the country to legalise same-sex marriage on Friday while Vermont's bill - although passed - is short of the two-thirds majority needed to override a promised veto by Republican Gov. Jim Douglas.
The Swedish Parliament on Wednesday voted overwhelmingly in favour of introducing a gender-neutral marriage law which will in fact allow same-sex couples the same marriage rights as heterosexuals.
It may be a case of all or nothing as the California Supreme Court considers eliminating the term "marriage" from state statutes and treat both kinds of couples - same-sex and opposite-sex - equally.
The California Supreme Court has to decide whether to defer to the voters of whom 52 percent support a same-sex marriage ban, or reaffirm their original ruling that preventing gay people from marrying is unconstitutional.
In the first known case of its kind in Asia, a gay couple and a middleman have been sentenced to jail for organising a bogus marriage between a Malaysian man and a Hong Kong woman to gain residency.
Gathered near Tiananmen Square, two lesbian and gay male couples in traditional white wedding gowns and black tuxedoes respectively held mock wedding photo sessions in front of curious and bewildered passersby.
Hello, nice to meet you. I'm Parker. I hope I can meet more people through here, and I hope I can find someone older than me. I don't like people younger than me. Because he is mature and steady, he has deep social experience and rich knowledge and experience. In mature and steady men, they are rich in ideas, respect and trust, and will not be as conscious as young people. Don't let me pull you down. lf you are young and want to communicate with me, please keep mutual respect, trust and understanding.

Let's bask in the sun. I'm a 65 year old gay man who's looking for friends. I'm single, dating, and ready to meet guys who are interested in the arts, exercise, and, to some degree, activism. I love living in Santa Cruz, California!
