canada, spain, belgium, the netherlands, and massachusetts all do it.

south africa is in process

and as of 21st december, the u.k. will join them

it’s happening all around the world, whether the u.s. likes it or not – gay marriage. call it what you will, but partnerships which are recognised by the government as conferring the same priviledges and responsibilities as those between heterosexual couples, are spreading like wildfire. I’ve made my views clear here and here before, when my home state became the first in the union.

Vermont, Connecticut, California, Washington, NY and Hawaii are all banging down the door as well. It’s insidious.

So you can pass your “Defense of Marriage” act, and you can even try to change the constitution to say “one man and one woman”. You can try to legislate love and family all you want. But you cannot keep people from demanding their civil rights. Not forever. Not for much longer.

Not for anything in the world.
