Help me find a comedy bit about gay marriage?
I remember hearing or (less likely) reading a comedian talk about gay marriage and how when the U.S. finally accepts it we'll be all self-congratulatory about it in a 'USA is #1' kind of way. Then it went on to talk about all the times other counties had 'beaten' the US to civil rights - I specifically remember a mention of how England eliminated slavery via a vote of parliament years before the US fought the civil war. I've been going through a Patton Oswalt phase - I can't find it in any of the stuff of his that I have but I haven't been exhaustive so he's still a possible. More likely it's someone I found on YouTube, probably via a link from an Oswalt bit. Dan Savage is another possible source but I haven't been able to find it via google.
Help? It's like one of those ear worm songs that you can't quite remember but can't get out of your head.

I don't recall ever listening to that podcast (although I like John Oliver so now I have to go look it up). Also, it was definitely an comic from the US - the England example was just one that I remember but I think there were several examples given from various countries.

I knew this would happen. Found it - it was Dan Savage after all.
