Yet More Gay Marriage
I've remarked before how amazed I am by the fact that the issue of gay marriage seems to have come to the fore in so many places around the world in such a short preiod of time. I still don't understand how countries with such disparate cultures and perspectives can all be reaching the point where it becomes an issue in the space of the same year (though obviously global media coverage helps create some of the impetus itself). But now throwing their hat into the ring comes Spain, announcing that they expect gay marriage to be a reality there as soon as next year. Of course I'm *shocked* that the Catholic Church isn't happy. They're usually such positive supporters of a tolerant and equitable society.
