So I guess Ireland won.

Up next, I'll predict Germany.

It is worth noting that the Norther Ireland Assembly voted against same-sex wedding one month ago (it was a tied vote: 49 No -47 Yes).

If it doesn't have UN membership, it don't count as far as I'm concerned.

The United Kingdom legalised it between the previous post and this post (well, England, Scotland and Wales).

Well, Merkel has ruled it out for now.

Australia might be if Labor's SSM bill manages to get somewhere.

Ireland didn't win. Finland beat it in changing the law first, and the United States should beat it in having nationwide gay marriage take effect.

I'm cautiously hopeful, and if it does play out that way it will be interesting to see if we did it before or after the US.

It seems that the timing of whatever comes out of this renewed push will happen after the Winter recess and before Parliament rises for the year in early December. My gut feeling is you'll see the decisions made with a date set for the votes in October. But who the hell knows what could happen.

As the only major differences between "Ehe" und "Eingetragene Lebenspartnerschaft" are adoption rights and the name now, but the latter being of high symbolic value for the CDU it won't happen. In case of adoption right, the Constitutional Court will strike again, soon, on it's path to marriage equality (they have done it several times before).

As of now, Germany is the only Western European EU member state without SSM. But as I can't see the Union lose its dominant position anytime soon or doing a Tory on it (which will be impossible due to CSU pressure), it will stay like this for quite some time.

Austria and Italy don't have SSM as well.
