The storage space it was offering was the deal that took the cake because it was way more than any other email service was offering, But now, Gmail is as real for us as reality itself, right?

But on April 1, 2001, the world was looking up to this European nation for an entirely different reason. It became the first country to legalise same-sex marriage. In fact, it went ahead another step as the Mayor of Amsterdam, The Netherlands' capital, actually officiated the ceremony as a registrar of four same-sex couples. Talk about practicing what you preach, right?
