South Africa gays get equal marital status
In the race of common sense, South Africa pulls ahead of the United States.
South Africa's highest court ruled Thursday that same-sex marriages enjoyed the same legal status as those between men and women, effectively making the nation one of just five worldwide that have removed legal barriers to gay and lesbian unions.
I don't get the big deal about same sex marriages. If homosexuals want to commit to each other, get depressed as their love for thier significant other begins to fade and turn to digust, argue with each other increasingly more often day after day and finally end in a messy divorce in which they battle over who gets to keep the pink drapes, then so be it.
They have just as much right to be as miserable as everyone else.

isn't it funny how other countries see some issues so clearly and we need a constitutional amendment
what's really sad is that our Constitution separates chruch and state and the only reason gay marriage isn't legal is religious reasoning. Anyone saying different is either blind or unwilling to admit it.
