I'm surprised that no one has commented on the fact that gay marriage is now legal in 30 states and the District of Columbia. I think it's great!

Discuss.

It's a nice change of pace.

It expands my opportunities for places to live and go to grad school. Not that these states are inherently safer as a result, but the opportunity for legalized partnerships is comforting.

"People often say that same-sex marriage now is like interracial marriage in the 60s. But in terms of public opinion, same-sex marriage now is like interracial marriage in the 90s, when it had already been legal nationwide for 30 years (http://imgs.xkcd.com/comics/marriage.png)."

I'm surprised it all happened so fast (in a good way). The first few states were a slow matriculation, and then - BAM - before I realised it, it had almost reached all of the States. Fantastic stuff, such a shame that Australia is backwards as fuck.

Maybe I'm childish, but Finland might get a chance next year, after the government that this lady is in changes.

We're getting a new government next year too. I hope it's better than the current one, or at least not worse.

Best Wishes 2015!

Päivi Räsänen is the main reason why so many people in Finland have signed out from the Finnish Evangelical Lutherian church. Those people think she represents the view of the church. As for myself, I already signed out in 2003 :P

THE EVANGELICAL LUTHERIAN CHURCH OF FINLAND THE BEST CHURCH EVER

Hurry up and legislate that shit into law, I wouldn't mind living in Australia!
Except for the scary giant monsters that live in your continent. I mean, they're practically Pokemon.

I hate this myth Americans have about Oz being a hostile dangerzone filled with giant, venomous creatures. I've been to Oz and this is categorically untrue.

For example, the runway I landed on had very few spiders on it. And the woman at passport control did not attempt to fill my abdomen with her eggs, so that wasn't too bad.
