UPDATE: ARGENTINA IS NOW THE FIRST COUNTRY OF THE AMERICAS TO HAVE LEGALIZED SAME-SEX MARRIAGE
Our friend from Argentina informed us of the following…
“Dear friends, today begins the discusion of “marriage for all” on the Argentine congress.
The project was approved and next week will be discussed on the deputy room. If they approved the law, it will go to the senate to be discussed there…and probably, before our Bicentennial anniversary we be the 1st American country to have marriage for all…same right with the same name!”
We have been traveling across country and have noticed some positive changes. Even in the heartland of Kansas, USA we saw a Pride flag waving in the open air. It was beautiful! There’s definitely an increase in Pride in the country.
Anita Bryant will be making appearances again, this time in the state of Oklahoma…thanks to Rep. Sally Kern who, with Bryant, shares negative opinions of the Homosexual community. We wonder if pie will be served?
2011 may bring same-sex couples civil unions if all goes well.
According to sources, “The Civil Partnership and Certain Rights and Obligations of Cohabitants Bill 2009 was passed in the Dail on 1 July 2010 and was passed by the Seanad on 8 July 2010 by a vote of 48-4. It will now either be signed by the President or be referred by her in whole or in part, after consultation with the Council of State, to the Supreme Court for a ruling on its constitutionality. If approved by the Court the President must sign the Bill.”
If and when approved, civil unions for same-sex couples will be able to legally commit to each other in 2011.
According to the Washington Post, A U.S. judge ruled Thursday that a federal ban on same-sex marriages is unconstitutional because it interferes with a state’s right to define marriage.
Judge Tauro said the act forces Massachusetts to discriminate against its citizens. The act (DOMA) ”plainly encroaches” upon the right of the state to determine marriage.
Very true-if marriage is a state matter, how can a federal act override it? When the matter (marriage) is only enacted by the state and not the entire government?
