Reuters informs us that "South Africa's cabinet has given the green light for a bill allowing gay marriage, which would make it the first country in Africa to accord homosexual couples the same rights as their straight counterparts."
"The cabinet decision puts South Africa on course to join a handful of mostly European countries that allow same-sex marriage, making it the first to do so in Africa, where homosexuality remains taboo and opponents decry gay unions as 'un-African'.
"South Africa's high court said in December same-sex unions must be allowed under the country's constitution -- widely considered one of the most liberal in the world.
"It said parliament had one year to change the current definition of marriage, which says the union is between a husband and wife, and that if it failed to act, the law would be automatically changed to include same-sex unions."

I think we need a pro- gay Hitler in a lot of countries. Force the laws to include all gay rights.

A Hitler? Well... while I sympathize with the agenda, I rather think that the cure, in that case, would be worse than the decease...
