Yup- it’s official. South freaking Africa, the same country that brought you all those bad guys in Lethal Weapon 2 just passed a gay marriage bill- something that our ‘civilized’ country has baulked at for years.

JOHANNESBURG, Dec. 1 -- South Africa's highest court on Thursday recognized the marriage of two Pretoria women and gave Parliament a year to extend legal marital rights to all same-sex couples.
The ruling, greeted with jubilation by gay men and lesbians but with frustration by some church leaders, will make South Africa the first country to allow marriages between gay people on a continent where homosexual activity is widely condemned and often outlawed.
Only four countries in the world -- the Netherlands, Belgium, Spain and Canada -- currently allow same-sex marriages nationwide. Several others, mostly in Europe, recognize civil unions between gay partners.

Repeat this after me- “…with liberty and justice for ALL.”
