Gay couples celebrate as New Zealand says yes to same-sex marriage

Engaged
Kiyo: On Wednesday April 17, seventy seven out of 121 members of parliament voted in favour of amending the current 1955 Marriage Act to allow same-sex couples to marry, making New Zealand the first country in the Asia-Pacific region to do so. This generated excitement, applause and the singing of a traditional Maori celebratory song from the public gallery.

Filo: That means New Zealand is now the 13th country to legalise same-sex marriages, after Uruguay passed its own law last week. Countries where such marriages are legalized include Canada, Spain, Sweden and Nigeria. Ahhh! Sorry we don’t do that in NIGERIA.

Gay right supporters celebrating
