Lets talk about Gay Marriage
In Europe, the issue of Gay Marriage has come up in 3 countries: Hungary, Spain and the United Kingdom (That I know of)
In Hungary, the new Fascist government recently banned Same-sex marriages and de-legalised civil unions in their new constitution, among other things. The EU declared the whole constitution as a violation of the treaties Hungary as but the leader of the government said that he had the democratic mandate to roll the clock back 25 years.
In Spain, there was an election in November 2011 and the conservative Partido Popular won the election. One of their first acts after winning the election was not to come up with a master plan to solve the deficit crisis but to send the Gay Marriage bill that was signed into law in 2005 which made same-sex marriage legal back to the Constitution Court so they could have the damm thing declared illegal to appease their Catholic masters and roll the clock back to the 1970's
In the United Kingdom, the Conservative led coalition between the Conservatives and the Liberal Democrats recently declared that Civil Unions in the UK aren't equal enough and it had to be marriage in order to be equal. The Gay Marriage Act is expected to pass because the main opposition party is in support of this Act.

Does it mean that the UK isn't ruled by a shadow dictator, or you didn't see the need to explain as this role is taken by the Queen?
The Queen is just a front.
A front for Mordred, Secret Vampire King of England.
Well, the Hungarian government is Fascist, and the PP get most of their support from the Spanish Catholics but the Coalition draws its support from Student types, South-West Farmers and the Home Counties which is harder to simplify

Might come in handy in a while: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fascism ;

Have you seen the new Hungarian constitution?
What, it defines Fascism in notably different way than Wikipedia does?
Nope, it comes close to how Wikipedia defines Fascism. There isn't a social Darwinian tone to the Hungarian Constitution but apart from that its close.
It's very interesting to note that, in Serbia, the Milošević-era governments were the most progressive when it came to LGBT rights. His constitution was the only one in the history of Serbia/Yugoslavia that addressed marriage as something other than union between a man and a woman (namely, an union of two citizens) and gay sex was legalized in 1994 (it was banned in 1977, due to a supposed risk of venereal diseases). That constitution was replaced in 2006 - the new constitution defines marriage as an union between a man and a woman, which takes the possibility of gay marriage being legalized out of the picture for quite a while. The idea of civil unions is still left open, though, but it's not discussed.
Thats actually quite interesting Milos. I really didn't know that.
Sloba was quite progressive, being a socialist - he was a diehard secularist, among other things.
That's a long wait.
