First it was the Netherlands, followed by Belgium in 2003. Canada followed suit yesterday and today we have Spain.

BBC reports on the state of gay marriage around the world.

It will be interesting to see the rate of progress in this movement of prodding countries in granting and recognizing the rights of gay couples globally. There is so much cultural history and identification in marriage as between a man and a woman only. However, we don't have a uniform definition of a form of marriage globally. In some place it is between one man and one woman only, and in some it involves more than a pair and these differences reflects the diversity in socio religious aspect of the community they reside.

I predict that gay marriage will be granted in most of Western world quite rapidly (except in United States) and extend to only a handful of South East Asia and Latin America countries.

Homoesexuality still doesn't receive acceptance in a lot countries. Heck, you can even be persecuted for being gay, which I think is a gross injustice.
