Brunei has been in the news recently for its regressive laws against homosexuality. It has, unfortunately, made gay sex punishable by death by stoning. However, many nations across the world have recognized and legalized same-sex marriages and many more are on their way to do so.

The world has, in the past two decades, made progress with accepting the LGBTQ community and same-sex marriages. However, there is still much stigma attached to this subject, with constant emotional and political clashes between supporters and opponents. It wouldn’t be an exaggeration to say that this is one of the most divisive topics of all time.

In this article, we give you a list of the first 22 nations that legalized same-sex marriages.

The Netherlands, one of the most progressive nations in the world, was the first nation that legalized same-sex marriages. It did so in the year 2000. Post this, the first same-sex marriages took place in the Netherlands in 2001 when four couples tied the knot.

However, Denmark was the first nation to recognize same-sex couples as domestic partners.

No matter who we are, and whom we love, shouldn’t all of us be equal? And if marriage is love, trust, friendship, and intimacy, shouldn’t every person be allowed to marry whomever he/she wishes to?
