Same sex marriages legalised in S.A

Yesterday South Africa became the first country on the continent to legalise same sex marriages. None of this crap about civil unions - you can't get married but really it's the same thing so be happy about what you can get -

Unlike earlier versions of the Civil Union Bill, the statute that has been passed no longer creates a separate category for lesbian and gay people exclusively but rather broadens the institution of marriage to include same-sex couples.

To be allowed to marry...

Although the bill has a few details that are not exactly perfect (like a civil union officer being allowed to reject a couple if they find us gays morally corrupt) it does recognise same sex couples in the same way it recognises heterosexual couples.
It makes me proud to be a South African - and proud to be sexually liberated.

South Africa is only the fifth country in the world to legalise same-sex marriages.

Other countries include the Netherlands, Belgium, Spain and Canada. The state of Massachusetts, USA is the only state in the US to allow it.

Check out more details here...it shows the countries opinions - good, bad, and narrow-minded...
