Friday evening in Holyrood Park

It's actually just outside my door - in the middle of Edinburgh!

Norway finally adopts gay marriage law!

"Norway's parliament on Wednesday adopted a new marriage law that allows homosexuals to marry and adopt children and permits lesbians to be artificially inseminated. Homosexuality was illegal until 1972 in Norway, a country which has since become one of the most liberal in the world in the field." (AFP)

Norway is the sixth country in the world to introduce a joint marriage law. Hurray!
