Congratulations Argentina!

The Argentinian Senate has voted to legalise gay marriage.

It is a little sobering, though, that yet another staunchly Catholic country is more progressive on civil rights than the UK. Time to play catch up, Mr Cameron.

I'm delighted that the Argentinians appear to be of a more charitable Catholic mind than the Vatican, which has just declared the ordination of women priests to be a crime of the same magnitude as the sexual abuse of children.

Sometimes the publicity works

The President of Malawi has pardoned a gay couple who were sentenced to fourteen years of hard labour after they held a commitment ceremony.

The President appears to have more political sense than his magistrate, who wanted the sentence to set an example. Well, it certainly has now.
