Great news – Iceland becomes country number 9 and place number 11 to support marriage equality. The vote was unanimous in the Icelandic parliament, and a great personal victory for Johanna Sigurdadottir, the world’s only openly lesbian Prime Minister.
For a country battling many great problems to make the effort and take the time to deliver this victory is a wonderful statement – it proves that anybody can do equality. It shows that so many other countries - from Australia to Denmark to Japan to Poland – really have no excuse for their inaction.
