Travel agency uses Denmark's low birth rate as inspiration for some creative, and rather naughty advertisements.

Spies Travel is joining forces with wannabe grandmas in the fight against Denmark's low birth rate. Introducing Spies Parent Purchase™: Send your child on an active holiday and get a grandchild.

Okay now THAT is pretty funny, and a not a little risque.

And the really inspired part is that it would also probably work.

A vacation where you are encouraged to have as much sex as possible. Don't know how you turn something like that down.

The Danish get marriage equality right. As does the majority of their religious leaders. Is anybody else jealous?

Members of the sole house of the Folketing approved the gender-neutral marriage legislation today after an opposition amendment creating a separate system of marriage for gay couples under different terminology was rejected yesterday. 

The new law is due to come into effect on 15 June this year, b.dk reported. 

The Evangelical Lutheran Church in Denmark, to which 80 percent of the Danish population belongs, will be able to perform marriage ceremonies under the new laws. New rites were written up by ten of the Church’s eleven bishops in a spirit of “good cooperation”, Bishop Kjeld Holm said. 

Gay couples will be able to marry in churches of their choice but priests will not be obliged to perform weddings. They would, however, need to help the couple find a priest who would marry them at the church under the new laws. 

Did you get that part about the Evangelical Lutherans? The largest church in Denmark created new rites specifically to cover gay marriage, how progressive is that!

Now before you assume that everything in Denmark is sunshine, rainbows, and unicorns it should be pointed out that they DO face some religious opposition to the new legislation.

Kim Klaus Wyon-Sergeant, an editor living in Denmark told PinkNews.co.uk: “Members of the Christian Democrats (a party that is not represented in parliament) plan to sue the state, believing that the law infringes on their freedom of religion. However experts say they dont have much of a chance since the law specifically allows ministers of the church to abstain from presiding over same-sex marriages.”

So in Denmark THEIR religious homophobic dickheads are in the minority, unlike here in America where it seems that our most anti-love, anti-science, and anti-humanity homophobic religious dickheads are in the majority.

Well that's probably not exactly true.  However they ARE the loudest and most obnoxious when it comes to ramming their version of Christianity down everybody's throats.

Perhaps someday soon we can join Denmark and finally become the land of the free and home of the brave that we have been claiming to have already been for these last two hundred and thirty six years.

Wouldn't THAT be nice?
