Same-sex marriage update

On the day we departed Australia for Timor, the Canadian government passed their same sex marriage bill. Spain also passed a similar bill. The countries, which now offer equality to all relationships, are the Netherlands, Belgium, Spain and Canada (with a number of other countries offering domestic relationship registration which gives all de facto or common law relationships the same status: eg New Zealand, Denmark, the UK). Note that two of these countries are Catholic (Belgium and Spain) so perhaps there is hope yet for Timor (I won’t hold my breath)?
