Norway adopts gay marriage law
挪威通過同性婚姻法
OSLO (AFP) — Norway's parliament on Wednesday adopted a new
marriage law that allows homosexuals to marry and adopt children
and permits lesbians to be artificially inseminated.
奧斯陸(法新社) ─ 挪威國會於周日通過新婚姻法─允許同性戀
結婚、領養小孩並准許女同性戀人工授精。
After a heated debate, the members of parliament adopted the
text by a vote of 84 to 41.
經過一番爭論，國會議員以84比41票通過該法。
The three centre-left coalition parties in power and two
opposition parties, the Conservatives and the Liberals,
voted largely in favour of the law, while the Christian
Democrats and the far-right Progress Party voted against it.
執政的三個中間偏左聯合政黨籍兩個反對黨─保守黨及自由黨，多數
投票支持該法，基督民主黨籍極右派進步黨則投下反對票。
Norway thus became the sixth country in the world to grant
homosexuals the right to marry on an equal footing with
heterosexuals, according to Norwegian television TV2.
根據挪威電視台TV2，挪威因此成為世界第六個給予同性戀同等於異性
戀結婚權的國家。
"This decision is of an importance comparable to universal
suffrage and our law on parity," Labour Party rapporteur
Gunn Karin Gjul said during the debate.
"這個決定與普選權及我們有關平等的立法一樣重要。"勞工黨書記
Gunn Karin Gjul於辯論時如此說。
The most controversial part of the law is that which gives
lesbians the right to be artificially inseminated. The sperm
donor must be identified so that the child can seek out his
or her biological father at the age of 18.
該法最具爭議的部分為給予女同性戀人工授精之權利，精子捐贈者必
須具名身分，小孩才能於18歲後尋找生父。
"We are now creating a system where the father is reduced to
a sperm sample," lamented Ulf Erik Knudsen, a member of the far-right.
"我們現在正在建立一個體制，使父親的地位淪為一個精子樣本。"
Ulf Erik Knudsen，一個極右黨派成員嘆道。
Outside the parliament, a handful of opponents protested with
posters reading "Have fathers become superfluous?" and "Parliament
has no mandate to change the laws of nature."
國會外有少數反對者持海報抗議，海報上寫"父親已經變成多餘的
了嗎?"及"國會並沒有被授權去改變自然的法律"。
Among other things, the new legislation replaces a so-called
"partnership law" adopted in 1993 which gave Norwegian homosexuals
the right to civil unions.
除此之外，新法取代所謂的伴侶法，該法於1993年通過，給予挪威同
性戀者民事結合的權利。
Health care workers who do not want to perform artificial
inseminations on lesbians because of their personal convictions
will not be under any obligation to carry out the procedure.
出於個人信念而不願意為女同性戀進行人工授精的保健工作者並沒有
義務一定要執行這項程序。
The new law is expected to enter into force at the end of this
year or early next year.
新法預計將於今年底或明年初開始實行。
Homosexuality was illegal until 1972 in Norway, a country which
has since become one of the most liberal in the world in the field.
直到1972年，同性戀在挪威是不合法的，自此該國已成為在這項議題
中，最為開放的國家之一。
