It says that in Norway today it was decided that gays will have the same opportunity as everybody else to get married. Their marriages will be called just that - marriage, and no longer just partnership. It will also give gays the right to produce babies through in vitro. It's a good day in Norway!
It says that homosexuals and heteosexuals in Norway shall have the same rights to get married and have kids etc.
GREAT NEWS!!!!
I hope that happens in Sweden really soon!!!
it is in Norwegian, not Swedish, and it talks about the new marital-law that has been passed in Norway, allowing gay marriage. Thanks for the PR, Perez! Again: Norway loves you!
Good thing I read norsk.
Stortinget introduced a new law in Norway — the end of discrimination against same-sex couples. They can marry, adopt, and form registered partnerships, with the same legal status as heterosexual couples.
Congratulations, Norway!
It truly is a great day in Norway. (My country ) Gay marriage is finally a reality, and I applaude it! Finally gay couples have the right to be considered as adoptive parents, and female couples can go through with IVF treatments. Even one of our conservative parties was for the new law.
Oh… I seeeeeee… The whole Gay marriage thing… us British accepted that kinda thing ages ago… it's about time the rest of the world moved with the times!
Yay! I'm so happy, finally most of the people recognize that gay love is just as valuable and true as hetero love is. I'm proud of Norway today, and of the church who shows will to adapt to society today.
Now why can't the US get their shit together and let gays and lesbians marry in every state. When is this country going to realize that humans are humans, not black, not white, not brown, not gay, not straight, but human, and all humans should have the same damn rights, across the board.
its basically just saying the gay couples can get married…not just partnerships anymore….they used to travel to denmark to be artificially inseminated because they dont keep records or something like that of who the father is…so the children wouldnt question it i think…i cant really read it as well as i used to haha
Re: Elwoo –
seeing as how "america" is canada, united states, mexico, argentina, brazil, columbia, chile, argentina, peru… and all the other south american countries you would be WRONG.. in "America" we speak, english, and french, and spanish, and portuguese… in fact… in America,,, more people speak english then spanish, so, basically… you're kind of a dumbass.
why don't you go back to high school and try to be a bit less i'gnant
Re: Maria – Oh yeah, Americans really are dumb because we don't speak Norwegian. You're such a douchebag. I speak three languages and Norwegian isn't one of them. Does that make me dumb by your standards? Moron.
Re: Maria – Thanks for the translation…that was pretty frustrating not knowing what we were congradulating Norway for! Btw….you're pretty smart - are you multi-linqual or bi-linqual?
I am astounded at how stupid some people are. "It's all in Swedish or something"
Oh my god! Perez said it's from Norway. They speak NORWEGIAN in Norway and Swedish and Sweden. They are two different countries. How stupid can you be?!?!
Re: Maria – SHUT UP WOULD YOU. THERE ARE PLENTY AMERICANS WHO SPEAK MULTIPLE LANGUAGES ASSHOLE! I SPEAK FOUR, BUT SWEDISH AINT ONE OF THEM! WHY? CUZ ITS IRRELEVANT! SO AMERICANS ARE NOT DUMB, ITS JUST THAT WE DONT CARE ENOUGH ABOUT YOUR LANGUAGE THATS ALL. THE WHOLE WORLD TRIES TO LEARN OUR LANGUAGE THOUGH!
Re: Maria – Maria, no one in their right mind would choose to learn norweigan as a second language unless they were moving to norway. it is a language of absolutely no international consequence. english yes, but also french, spanish, chinese, japanese, hindi, even german would be more valuable than learning the bjorksa bjorksa gibberish of you and your clog-stepping, fish-slapping, turtle-neck-wearing people.
It says that gay Norwegian couples getting married will have all the same rights as straight couples. Gay "marriage" has been legal in Norway for years, but it used to be called partnership, not marriage.
Now it will be legally called marriage and gay and lesbian couples will be allowed to get married in church if they want to, instead of at city hall.
Gay couples will also be allowed to adopt, and lesbian couples will get free in vitro fertilization if they so wish. (Which straight couples do as well if they have truble conceiving).
I don't think americans should be learning norwegian, but it wouldn't hurt to learn some other important languages like spanish, french, german or chinese. I speak english, spanish, portuguese, dutch and french and I can't wait to start my mandarin chinese course!! North americans lack knowledge on things outside their country, which is a shame as believe it or not, America is NOT the centre of the world. Yeah, centre as in british english not center like the bastardized american version. Peace bitches!
wow, a lot of you are pretty ignorant and not because you don't speak other languages! who cares how many languages you do and don't speak. no, not all americans speak other languages, but a lot do. for those that do it is a great asset! but just cause you don't doesn't make you any less of a person!
I can just picture Perez sitting there and laughing at these comments, Thinking..Lets see how many idiots will reply back , saying " I can't read it". "What does it say" .. ohhhh nooooooooooo:( what are we going to do now.. WE CAN'T READ IT!!!!!

Re: DEZZ – English is not YOUR language, firstly it originated in Britain and secondly English is an international language.
And seriously, I mean I knew Americans were stereotyped as knowing nothing about international affairs but so many of you thinking that they speak Swedish in Norway that's beyond ridiculous.
Perez you got alot of balls to have that still printed in Norwegian.Americans can,t stand other peoples language and cultures,they can barely read English.They go ape shit when they hear Spanish for gods sake.As for the story,welcome aboard Norway,thanks for seeing that gay couples have rights too.Man America,you guys are so far behind the times.
actually, "America" IS shorthand for the USA, however, the rest of North, Central (which YOU forgot to mention), and South America are the rest of the AmericaS. Got it?
Perez if you think that this means that gay people can get married now, then your wrong. Thi hasn't happend yet. But because of the great demoracy in our country they probarbly will be able to after the hearinggs, and also because the three parties that are in the goverment right now are the one who started this and is supporting the idea. Just to mention it, lesbians can adopt in norway, but i don't thing male partners camn yet.
First, GO NORWAY!! They have always been very liberal and usually at the forefront with these types of things!! I am very proud of my heritage (Norwegian/Swedish) every day, but today especially so!!
Second - Norway and Sweden are two completely different countries.

Re: uggab –
Because it's a state by state thing. It's up to the state itself to decide.
@Dezz

RE: DEZZ
Americans are not dumb, just ignorant and ethnocentric.
Fan vad gött norge !!

Well, they did in some way.
Good thing firefox has a decent translator.
From what I got, they're allowing gay marriage and artificial insemination in lesbians?
it says that norwegians are allowed to get married according to the new partnership law. Norway rocks:)
I'm sory. I didn't see the words on the side of the article. Congratz to all norwegian gays and the rest of us to.
First, GO NORWAY!! They have always been very liberal and usually at the forefront with these types of things!! I am very proud of my heritage (Norwegian/Swedish) every day, but today especially so!!
Second - Norway and Sweden are two completely different countries.
Thanks for posting this, Perez!
Really wish i took Norwegian language classes at school now Perez xoxo
wow. thats great
as an American I am SOOOO shamed with some of the comments! *shakes head*
Also, I don't think it would hurt our country to make learning a second language MANDATORY as opposed to just an elective in school.
If you wanna read, google www.VG.No and press translate page right next to the link. very easy, breasy.
can gay people in america get married and adopt kids???
So Cornholio can get hitched in Norway, big whup. Stop killing whales for crying out loud. Eat a damn fish or a shrimp you bastards!
No habla Norwegian yo.
