The Netherlands became the first country in the world to legalize gay marriages, enacting a bill Tuesday that converts the country's registered same-sex partnerships into full-fledged marriages. The legislation sailed through the Dutch parliament, 107-33, with the only opposition coming from a few scattered Christian parties. The bill contains divorce guidelines and provisions for wider adoption rights as well.
