New Zealand. If you don't know were New Zealand its next to Australia.

Anyway

The Government in New Zealand has accepted gay rights for marriage.
The problem was that 75% of people were against it when they asked a vote.
But they went a head anyway. This is not the first time that New Zealand has not LISTEN to people votes!

I'm not against gay people but what gets me is the vote thing! in New Zealand. It doesn't matter what you vote for here they just go against it. So I begin to wonder why do they bother to ask our votes!

Here is the article about gay marriage been accepted

It could be argued the government is meant to protect minorities. In fact, the aristocracy was a minority back in the day when you were a colony, which needed to be protected from the Great Unwashed.

Also sad because now when you get married it says Part A and Part B instead of husband and wife which is really....sad... what is wrong saying husband and Husband on the paper why Part A and Part B?

Sounds formal. I don't think the priest would be pledged to that terminology.

Everyone is so overjoyed that New Zealand legalized gay marriage. Without Google, can anyone tell me what else New Zealand has done for the world?

Without references to Lord of the Rings films or bestiality with sheep.

Can it be sheep-related?

Getting wholesale slaughtered at Gallipoli is hardly something to be proud of your country for.

Loyalty and heroism are though.

New Zealand was one of the first, if not the first to give all women the right to vote.

It's a global advertising hub.

We are also major dairy producers world wide.

We were peace keepers, along side Austraila, in several wars involving the British and American and others.

We've never been a slave nation

We developed the First propeller less jet boat.

Shall I go on?
