Portugal's parliament passed a law making legal for same-sex couple to adopt children. Do you feel this is now going to be a world wide norm?

It's about time that Portugal provided basic human rights to everybody. A great day for Portuguese society!

I agree with the decision it's good day for Portuguese society. I however don't think it will be a worldwide norm a huge amount of ignorance and hatred still exists in many parts of the world much of it fueled by religion.

A world wide norm in a short-time no but in western countries it already is.
Those are the countries where same-sex can adopt before Portugal passed the law.

Congrats!
Anyway, not sure if it going to be a worldwide norm, but European one as a whole.

It's indeed a great progress in individual freedom, a step forward granting all citizens the same rights.
