Need an excuse to visit Lisbon? Portugal’s parliament set to legalize same-sex marriage

Marriage in Maine?  Forget it.  Nuptials in NJ?  Nope.

But Portugal?  That’s a different story. 

Europe’s most socially conservative country is about to pass a bill which will legalize marriage between same-sex couples.

“The bill will change Portuguese law to remove references of marriage as being between two people of different sexes. If passed tomorrow, it will go to a parliamentary committee before final approval.

While the Catholic Church is normally vocal on the role of family and marriage in society, Lisbon’s Catholic Cardinal Patriarch Jose Policarpo has said that gay marriage is “parliament’s responsibility”.
