Finland legalises same-sex marriage Friday Nov 28,2014

 

The Finnish parliament has narrowly approved a citizen’s initiative to legalise same-sex marriage
In the vote, 105 members of parliament supported the legal amendment while 92 opposed it
The vote came after a petition signed by 167,000 Finnish people was handed over to Parliament in December 2013

Gay couples in Finland have been able to enter into registered partnerships since 2002, but until now the country was the only in the Nordic region not to allow same-sex marriage.
Laws governing marriage are now completely gender-neutral in the Scandinavian nation, which has a population of some 5.4 million
