South Africa Approves Gay Marriages

Today, South Africa Parliament approved gay marriages. This makes South Africa the first in Africa and the fifth in the world to make gay and lesbian unions legal. Others include Holland, Belgium, the U.S., Spain and Canada.

Apparently in most African nations, homosexuality is still treated as a “crime.” A crime? Egads. Some penalties are apparently stiffer than those for rape or murder. The new law allows both heterosexual and same-sex couples to register their unions either as marriages or civil partnerships. parental blocker dns information . domain dns server list of domains ip analysis i cloud . web archive . website down . apache web server word cloud Brasov .
