Same sex marriage is legal (here) in Spain for 10 years now, roughly.

The Spanish conservative party pushed against it, and raised the law for Constitutional High Court's approval, in hopes of stopping it. The court didn't and the law passed.

Such a fuss, back then. Religious and right winged demonstrations, ridiculous declarations to media...

Now, they hang rainbow flags, if reluctantly, from their party's balconies. The same politicians who stood by "the principles of family and law" tweet congratulations on pride's day.

USAns, you lot were being left behind Mexico and Canada, and USA is referential for a lot of countries.

So, in 10 years or so, when it'll be only normal to be gay and married, even conservatives will feel ashamed for having opposed to this. And hopefully some reluctant countries wil change their laws.

Just because America.
