It looks like Scotland will be beating the rest of the UK to the finish line when it comes to being the first country to embrace the future of human rights and legalize gay marriage. This controversial move is being supported by both rights groups and a majority of politicians alike (almost a miracle in itself). The enemy of the proposed legislation? None other than the church, of course.
When asked for their reasoning behind such a tenuous political move, Scotland’s officials expressed a need for the country to become a model of equality and tolerance for the international community. They hope that other countries will choose to follow suit and help the world progress and become a better place for everyone.
