Same-sex marriage in Israel

Gay rights are spreading farther and faster than I would have ever hoped in my wildest dreams even just five years ago. For the first time, gay weddings will be recognized in Israel... albiet, only if they are married outside of Israel. But hey, it's a start. If Israel turned this precedent into a recognition of gay marriages inside Israel, and Taiwan got around to legalizing gay marriages (which they've been considering for some time), then gay rights would have a significant foothold in almost every region of the world. I'm very hopeful for the future.
