This appears to have happened without much mention on these forums (it was a quiet Monday after all) but worth noting for anyone that missed it that same sex partnerships are now legal in the UK.

Out and Proud!!

If I missed a thread can someone point it out to me?

Most excellent news! It's only a matter of time until the U.S. gets on the ball and legalizes same-sex marriage.

hehe. when they originally posted that story on Monday they had an accompanying photo of two blonde sailors exchanging rings (apparently in a church. tho that wouldnt actually be the case) in the most stereotypical stock image you could ever have on the subject. I knew they'd have to change it :p

Just as soon as they adopt the metric system and outlaw the death penalty.

Um. I am going to have to disagree with you on that one. If anything it'll be all the blue states that do it. I highly doubt it will be a federal thing anytime soon. Especially since there are many states that have already voted against recoginizing gay unions and in so doing nulled all hetro common law marriages.

But yay for the UK! Err.. Yay for us!

And on that day, don't be a bit surprised if Texas exercises it's right to secede from the union. :rolleyes:

Cheerio and all that sort of thing, I want to move to Europe!
