Good ole New Zealand has done it again.
And what am I talking about? Ok so I’m writing not talking.
So back in history we were the first country in the world to
give women the vote.
On 19 September 1893 the
governor, Lord Glasgow, signed a new Electoral Act into law. As a result of
this landmark legislation, New Zealand became the first self-governing country
in the world in which all women had the right to vote in parliamentary
elections. In most other democracies – including Britain and the United States
– women did not win the right to the vote until after the First World War.
And now
New Zealand is showing the way again.
Same sex
marriage is now legal. Yes that is right, and that means that two people who
are very special to me and The Man can have the same rights as every other
couple in NZ.
So we are
justifiably delighted to be able to say that we are proud to be Kiwis.
