Portugal to become sixth country in Europe to permit gay marriage

Portugal--a predominantly Catholic country-- passed a bill last week to allow gay marriage. Though the bill was supported by parties on the left, their conservative president is expected to ratify it. The first gay marriage ceremonies could take place as early as April.
Oops, that's just a month before Pope Benedict XVI is scheduled for his official visit.
