Today the Swedish parliament ratified the same-sex marriage as legal. As a Christian I am deeply saddened and horrified by this decision, and recommend this article in consideration of what is about to come:

It says among other things:
"The legalization of same-sex marriage will usher in a new era where religious liberties will increasingly become restricted. There’s one word that explains why this will happen: Consistency.
In order for California to be consistent with its new legislation on same-sex marriage, it must restrict the religious liberties of Christians, Jews, and any other group that upholds a one-man-one-woman view of marriage. These groups enjoy privileges and protections given by the state, which now also endorses same-sex marriage. Since the law supports both same-sex marriage and groups who oppose the new
legislation, it’s only a matter of time before pro-gay lawyers exploit the inconsistency.
Soon, some churches may lose their tax exemption status. If they refuse to perform same-sex weddings, it can be argued that the state subsidizes discrimination."
