In an earlier post today, about a Scotland brewery’s decision to create a special, non-gay beer for Vladimir Putin as a way to raise money for marginalized peoples around the globe, I mentioned that Scotland’s parliament was having its final reading of a bill to bring marriage equality to that country.

Same-sex couples in England and Wales will be able to tie the knot next month. The Irish government last fall announced a referendum on whether to extend marriage rights to gays and lesbians will take place in 2015.
Congratulations to all our friends in Scotland!
