I just have to point out one mistake in that article. It´s not only Belgium and the Netherlands that have legalized gay marriage. In Germany we have what is called a registered partnership, which is in fact marriage with some limitations that the government is trying to get rid of. Unfortunately they need the opposition´s approval for that.
May I also add that the mayors of our two biggest cities, namely Berlin and Hamburg are gay as is the chairman of the liberal party. It´s not a big issue over here anymore and I like that.
I think unless they actually call it 'marriage' (as opposed to domestic partnership) the reporter wasn't counting it. It's nice to know that it exists in Germany, though.

It must be nice to live in an openminded society.
