Gay Marriage - January
This past Friday, January 8th, the Portuguese parliament allowed the marriage of gay people (people of the same sex). This was a very polemic theme and it brought about many controversies among the politicians (and among the population), so they spent weeks making a decision about the issue.
The approval was celebrated right away with a marriage between two women in front of the Parliament. I think it was a good decision for the evolution of our society and it is a good improvement to end the discrimination against gay people and gay marriage.
People of the same sex don’t always marry because they are homosexual; sometimes two girl friends marry just to help one of them to stay on the country, for example. But if two people of the same sex love each other, I don’t see the reason why they shouldn’t be together and enjoy the same rights as the heterosexual couples.The approval was celebrated right away with a marriage between two women in front of the Parliament.

The next issue will be if they should or not be allowed to adopt. I think that it should be allowed because they could help a lot of orphans and poor children.
