"Members of Parliament in Norway today approved a bill that will allow same-sex couples to marry by 84 votes to 41.
The new law will make marriage gender neutral.

Norway, which is not a member of the EU, joins Spain, Belgium, the Netherlands, South Africa and Canada in granting gay people full marriage rights."
