On the opening day of Stockholm Pride, the newspaper Dagens Nyheter publishes the result of a new survey by gay-rights activist Bengt Held. It found that a vast majority of Swedish MPs are in favour of same-sex marriage. Only the Christian Democrats, which is one of the smallest parties in Parliament, are overwhelmingly against giving same-sex couples the possibility to marry. When asked if they were in favour of same-sex marriage, 66% of the MPs representing the Moderate Party answered yes. A further 20% said maybe. Only 14% rejected a marriage reform. My party has truly changed in the past decade. Ten years ago, only the party's libertarian minority was outspoken friends of gays and lesbians. It is nice to see how some of the more hostile homophobes from the past now come out in favour of equal rights.
