Iceland PM marries her partner as gay marriage legalized

ICELAND Prime Minister Johanna Sigurdardottir married her long-time partner yesterday as a new law legalising homosexual marriages came into force.

Sigurdardottir, in her late 60s, formally married writer Jonina Leosdottir after the couple submitted a demand for their civil union to be transformed into a marriage, the RUV broadcaster said.

Iceland's parliament on June 12 unanimously adopted legislation allowing gay marriage, in a law that came into effect on Sunday.

congrats

congrats to both. better late than never. it is great to see openly gay and proud politicians, even better when they are heads of state.

I am so happy for the two of them. It's only a matter of time in the U.S.

Oh wow - that's simply fantastic! I can't wait for the day when something like that could happen in Ireland. Getting gay marriage is fantastic, but having an openly gay PM who can make use if it is such a wonderful sign of Iceland's maturity as a nation. Really great to see!
