Same-sex marriage is legal in Iceland. The bill was accepted by the Alþingi (Icelandic Parliament) 11 June 2010 and came into effect 27 June 2010. Iceland is the ninth country in the world to publicly allow same-sex marriages.
Iceland's Prime Minister, Ms Jóhanna Sigurðardóttir who is the world's first openly gay PM in the world, got married to her long time companion 27 June.
In August the greatest party in Reykjavik takes place. Some 80.000 people are expected at the Gay Pride Parade on Laugavegur street.

The party starts Thursday 5 August and lasts until Sunday 8 August.
