By the 'whether or not gays should be able to get married' comment I just meant that it's pretty obvious that they should be able to, and our European friends might be surprised or just deeply perplexed why anybody really would care whether or not they are able to be.
Not really, gays have only recently been able to marry in several prominent Euro countries. It has been a debate for years before that and we also have those people who are against it and voice their opinion.
I love this picture (France) of one of the anti-gay marriage demonstrations (happened only last year): http://fbcdn-sphotos-b-a.akamaihd.ne...65683763_n.jpg
The girls later declared that they are not lesbians at all but that they were just pissed off with the demonstrators so they decided to pull this little stunt...
The point is, this debate is happening at about the same time in the US and Europe. Same story for the de-penalization of cannabis. However, weirdly, for major stuff like gun laws and the death penalty (I say major because we are talking about life and death), the US has remained stubbornly in its position.
