Is it actually going to come up for a vote anytime soon in Finland?

I only included them as an option because of they're the last Scandinavian country that doesn't have it and a gay man came in second in the last presidential election.

I hadn't heard any concrete legislative news though.

It was stuck 9-8 in a committee vote in March, but it will return soon in Parliament. Finland has a ctitizen initiative process and Parliament MUST debate laws if they are signed by more than 50,000 persons. They got 150,000.

Luxembourg is pretty weird. They have coalition between a social democratic party and a liberal party who have nothing ideologically in common except gay marriage (and the fact that they both have gay leaders). What else have they got to do?

A coalition between a social democratic party, a liberal party and a green party.

I'm surprised the Christian Democrats voted for. Only the 3 ADR MPs (some hard right party, reminds me of UKIP) and one Christian Democrat voted against (Ali Kaes, North, got the 4th seat on the 4 seats CVP got in North). Also means than all East MPs voted for (ADR has 2 MPs in South and 1 in Center).
