Fact File: Same-Sex Marriage around the World

Slovenians on Sunday shut down efforts by their national parliament to extend marriage rights to same-sex couples -- the second time they have voted in a referendum against changing the law. The "no" vote in largely Catholic Slovenia comes after Ireland -- also traditionally Catholic -- in May became the first country in the world to approve same-sex marriage in a referendum. Gay marriage is currently legal in 18 countries, 13 of them in Europe.
