New Zealand votes to legalize same-sex marriage and breaks into song by MIRANDA NELSON on APR 17, 2013
New Zealand's parliament voted to legalize same-sex marriage today (April 17). Upon the passing of the third reading—which passed 77 to 44—the gallery broke into song, singing “Pokarekare Ana", a traditional love song. If the law is given royal assent by the country's governor-general (all but a sure thing), New Zealand will become the 13th country to legalize same-sex marriage. http://www.straight.com/blogra/372646/new-zealand-votes-legalize-same-sex-marriage-and-breaks-song
