South Africa bill approves SSM

[Leafless]

"Gays in South Africa can be joined in matrimony under new legislation passed by parliament -- an unprecedented move on a continent where homosexuality is taboo."

--------------------------------------------

In a country where homosexuality is bad news and AIDS is out of control produces headaches and heartaches.

But on the bright side: "In an effort to ease some of these concerns, the bill allowed both religious and civil officers to refuse to marry same sex couples on moral grounds."

If these couples are promiscuous and already are spreading infection I doubt this bill will changes things.

Good job South Africa. Hopefully the rest of the troglodytes running countries follow suit.
