South Africa is now the fifth country in the world to legalize same-sex marriage, following in the footsteps of the Netherlands, Belgium, Spain, and Canada. It’s so nice to see the rest of the world, including a country that had legalized racial discrimination during my lifetime, kicking the United States’ ass when it comes to protecting citizens’ equal rights.
In less exciting news, the Roman Catholic Church (along with those crazy Baptists and Presbyterians) is cracking down on those within their ranks that might see gay behavior as anything less than sinful. America's Roman Catholic bishops recently declared that same-sex attractions are "disordered." Because, you know, after the Crusades and the Inquisition, what Roman Catholic bishops say should be given a lot of weight.
