Spanish MPs approve gay marriages, overruling last week's rejection of the bill by Senate.

"The bill will become law in a month's time, making Spain Europe's third nation after the Netherlands and Belgium to allow same sex marriages."

Also, I loved this quote, "We are not legislating, ladies and gentlemen, for remote unknown people - we are expanding opportunities for the happiness of our neighbours, our work colleagues, our friends, our relatives." --Prime Minister Jose Luis Rodriguez Zapatero

It's going to happen here, too. It's just a matter of time. No matter how draconian the puritanical hypocrites currently holding the majority by the balls would prefer things to be. The Republican party may have tied themselves to the religious right for power now, but I think they will ultimately find them to be a liability.

If it can happen in espaƱa--less than 1/2 a century after Franco--you've got to believe it can happen anywhere ... eventually ... :)
