Recognition of
same-sex marriage (as of this writing): Belgium, Canada,
Hungary, Netherlands, South Africa,
Spain, and United States (State of Massachusetts
only). Other nations (including Croatia, Denmark, Finland,
France, Germany, Iceland, Israel, New Zealand, Norway, Portugal,
Slovenia, Sweden, Switzerland and the United Kingdom), as well as many U.S. states and local
jurisdictions, have expanded rights for gay and lesbian couples --
not always equal to those of heterosexual couples but much improved over the status of rights for gays and
lesbians in years past. For complete information, please see
