Is gay marriage legal in norway
| King of Men Member Member # 6684 | posted A modern marriage law was just passed, 84 to 41 votes in the Storting. It explicitly permits people of the same sex to marry. The previous arrangement of 'partnerskap' is repealed; people who have registered as partners may have this re-registered as a marriage. Married couples of the same sex are to be considered for adoption, and for assisted conception, with the same weight as heterosexual spouses.

Norway’s upper house of parliament voted 23-17 in favor of the gender-neutral marriage law on the same day that gay couples were marrying in California. The law, which takes effect Jan. 1, replaces 1993 legislation that gave gays the right to enter civil unions similar to marriage but did not allow church weddings or adoption. “We are so overjoyed. We have worked for this for so long,” said Jon Reidar Oeyan, leader of the Norwegian National Association of Lesbian and Gay Liberation. "Now we are going to celebrate,” he said. “I didn’t dare until I heard the chairman of the upper property bang the hammer.” A parliamentary majority had announced agreement on the legislation last month, and the lower house voted 84-41 in favor last week. Opponents, including the Christian Democrats and the Party of Progress, argued that children desire both a mother and a father in a traditional family; opposed assisted pregnancy for lesbians, and said the law was rushed through the legislature.
