I'm not sure that all Western European coiuntries do permit same sex marriages?
regardless what the answer is, the gays issue does not show up in election campaigns. (and neither abortion or assult weapons)
But that begs the question; European countries have gay people. Why is there a clammer here for same sex marraiges and there isn't in European countries?
Well, is it that there's nobody wanting same-sex marriages in Europe or is it that it just doesn't make American headlines? It's legal in two European countries and it would seem to me that others would want their respective countries to legalize it.
Honest question; I really have no idea.
