In April 2001 an event took place that changed the world we live in forever. The first same-sex marriage took place in Amsterdam. Since the Netherlands become the first country to allow same-sex marriages 12 years ago, another 15 countries have followed suit, with certain states in the USA, parts of Mexico and the latest being the Australian Capital territories legalizing same sex marriages.
