    We're not even 15 days into 2018 and this year is already shaping up to be a huge year for LGBT rights, and especially marriage equality. If the European Court of Justice affirms this decision by the advocate general (as it probably will), add another 6 countries to the list of those at least recognizing same-sex marriages to be equal.

    Canada legalized same sex marriages more than a dozen years ago. We withstood the assaults from the religious right, the social conservatives, and people who were just plain homophobic. Contrary to their predictions, the sky did not cave in, and today people could care less about it. Congratulations to LGBT people living in the EU. You fought for it, you earned it, you deserve happiness.

    I thought rulings by the EU Court aren't necessarily binding. Are they?

    This is pretty great news. I can't wait to see cute LGBT+ wedding pics from the EU.
