As they live in Brazil, I suggest you do a little research on same-sex marriage there.

None of the self-proclaimed advanced anglo states allow gay mariage.

Still stuck in the mid 20th century.

Would Canada and New Zealand fit your definition? And the 9 U.S. States where same-sex marriage is legal?

I'm confident that the rest will soon join the trail-blazing Uruguayans and progressive Argentines on the road to gay marital emancipation and we too can join you in the 21st century.

The point wasn't gay tolerance in Brazil..... That's a given ....3 cheers Brazil. No it's the fact that old Snowden is holed up in the gay tolerance capital of the world...Moscow.

Gay marriage is now legal in Britain - civil partnerships have been recognised for several years now.
