Colombia Rules Gays MUST has same right in common law marriage - US Beckon of Freedom?
Edited on Thu Jan-29-09 11:13 AM by Ioo
This is not gay marriage, but it gives same sex couples the rights as common law marriage if they live together... same thing that unmarried couples get in MOST states on the US.

http://www.advocate.com/news_detail_ektid71941.asp
The court's decision means Colombia's gay couples will be awarded dozens of rights that straight, unmarried couples have enjoyed for years and follows other recent rulings that have won the nation's same-sex couples inheritance, pension, health, and social security rights.

So that makes the following with some level of recognition of gay couples...
Belgium
Canada
Netherlands
Norway
South Africa
Spain
Andorra
Belgium
Czech Republic
Denmark
Finland
France
Germany
Iceland
Luxembourg
Netherlands
New Zealand
Slovenia
Sweden
Switzerland
United Kingdom
Uruguay
Argentina
Australia
Brazil
Mexico

Oh, no- Wait.... That didn't happen. My bad.

2. And, yea, verily, God has smitten all these heathen nations for forsaking...
What? He hasn't?

Yea, verily, God will smite all these heathen nations for forsaking His Word. You just wait! You'll see! You'll see.
