UPDATE: Thanks to Lev, who provided the English-language link in the comments, we get a quote from Norway's minister of family that made me weep, a bit, to know that there are more and more countries out there who “get it.”:

“The new law won't weaken marriage as an institution,” Huitfeldt claimed. “Rather, it will strengthen it. Marriage won't be worth less because more can take part in it.” 

Sorry, the link (which I got via http://www.perezhilton.com), is in Norwegian, but it is still good news!

(Reading the comments in Perez, someone from Norway commented that even the conservative party members, or most of them anyway, were for it.)

Yay for Norway! J/ee
