[tiggymalvern]

Brazil's Supreme Court ruled 10-0 today to give same-sex couples all the same legal rights as married heterosexuals.

Wait.... isn't that a nation of mainly Catholics?

Hey, United States of America, with your claims to stand for freedom and justice - isn't it time you caught up with the civilised world?

Hear, hear! It's more than past time for the US to stand up as a whole and do the right thing :)

Oh, there are so many things we need to catch up on. See also: torture, death penalty.

Yeah, we don't have a very good track record these days do we? If being Catholic doesn't stop them, what's our excuse?

Yes, on gay rights, and also with regard to infrastructure, education... I could go on.
