Perhaps the Netherlands. Northern Ireland has some law which makes it illegal to discriminate against someone on the grounds of their sexuality (or several other things) in any way. Aug 18 02, 1:22 AM

I would say The Netherlands/Holland, then Canada, then and the US. As from 1 April 2001, it has been possible in the Netherlands for two men or two women to marry. The law governing such marriages, the Same-Sex Marriage Act, entered into force on that date. http://www.minjust.nl:8080/a_beleid/FACT/Same-sexmarriages.htm 'Everyone says it will put Quebec just behind Holland as the most progressive place in the world,' says Brotman. 'If only the federal government would change the marriage laws, we could say we were world leaders.' http://www.caut.ca/english/bulletin/2002_june/news/quebec.asp NYC recognizes gay partnerships August 16, 2002 Posted: 2:16 PM HKT (0616 GMT) NEW YORK (CNN) -- New York City Council voted Thursday to recognize gay marriages. from other jurisdictions. http://asia.cnn.com/2002/US/08/16/nyc.gay.partners/ Aug 18 02, 1:58 AM
