What balls! I mean, seriously, Argentina has got some major chutzpah! Today, against the moral outrage of the Roman Catholic church and other evangelicals who marched on the Argentine Congress earlier this week, the Senate of that austere Latin country voted to allow Gays the right to marry. What a major coup!
If you haven't read the story you should. It's absolutely fantastic. I love the response from the President of the country who is currently in China. President Cristina Fernandez commented:
"It's very worrisome to hear words like 'God's war' or 'the devil's project,' things that recall the times of the Inquisition," she said.
Thank you, Madam President. Thank you for having the courage to stand up and fight so clearly and decisively for GLBT folks. I look forward to the day when we hear the leadership of my nation speak as distinctively and eloquently.
