Fuck yeah. Seems like same-sex marriage legalizations are the new North Korea threats! New one every week.

It will take us another year or more before we do anything like this I bet.
We're real slow.
Fucking oath.
Good, goooood. Let the rainbow spread, soon you will all be one of us.

That, I wouldn't mind.
This was the main reason I didn't plan on going there to live (for at least a while), but now I'm worried about 2 other things. 1: Internet speeds and 2: everything that kills you.

[quote]Someone in the public gallery then calls out, before an emotional pause, and the song Pokarekare Ana, a traditional love song, written in 1917, and considered by some an unofficial National Anthem.[/quote]
That's beautiful.
Hurrah, Hobbits Rejoice!
The next step is ending marriage altogether and replace it with a civil contract.
Good.
It's stupid to not allow it anyways.
"you love a person that I don't think is right for you, no marriage!"
That's all I pretty much ever think about when people try to go against it.
I really can't see why anyone would actually disallow it other than that they are an asshole who can't see beyond their own backwards beliefs.
Funny world we live in.
