¡Viva España!

Manifesto

Spain has legalized gay marriage, allowing for adoption by gay couples and inheritance of property between married partners.

"We were not the first, but I am sure we will not be the last. After us will come many other countries, driven, ladies and gentlemen, by two unstoppable forces: freedom and equality," [Prime Minister Jose Luis Rodriguez Zapatero] told the chamber.
This, in the face of the strong Roman Catholic presence in Spain, gives me hope.

It's amazing to me that we live in a country that prides itself on "spreading freedom" and derides the interests of foreign countries (especially Europe) and yet we are the country that legislates intolerance and bigotry. Good for Spain. In fifty years, all our children will look at the 2000s the same way we looks at the racial divisions of the 1950s. They will ask themselves how anyone could be so stupid.
