Ten . . . No, Really, It's Ten

Argentina made equal marriage a reality nationwide yesterday:

Check out the recent comments of Christina Fernández de Kirchner, the Argentine president - a very intelligent, very well-read lady:



She's in China at the moment on a diplomatic visit, but has said she will not veto the bill if passed by Argentina's Congress.

So that makes ten countries on four continents now that recognize equal marriage:

• Netherlands (2001)
• Belgium (2003)
• Spain (2005)
• Canada (2005)
• South Africa (2006)
• Norway (2009)
• Sweden (2009)
• Portugal (2010)
• Iceland (2010)
• Argentina (2010)

I liked what a commenter over on Box Turtle Bulletin had to say:

the arc is bending, baby. slowly, but surely, the arc is bending.

In celebration, here's an Argentine hunk to get your weekend started right.  Remember, it's ten . . . .
