Clearly when countries (Sweden) started to allow gay marriage, they had NO idea what would happen. Did they intend for children born out of wedlock to nearly double to about 60%? Did they plan for that? Have they studied the rapid change or are they just saying "too late to look back and say what if?" Odd that a Socialist country like Sweden really didn't engineer this, they just let it happen. Has the crime rate changed? The rate of suicide (already pretty high)? What about child abuse etc?

Like I said, I'm willing for Sweden or any other place to carry this experiment out. The results there will not necessarily apply as they, like other Northern Euro countries are fairly homogeneous and don't get massive immigration pressure or have serious ethnic division.

We're a sovereign country. We don't have to get rid of capital punishment nor do we have to copy public policy in any other country.

The really interesting place of change to me is Iran, not Sweden. Sweden's changes and even ours are small compared to what could happen in Iran.
