Wow

South Africa has just legalized same-sex unions.

The first African country to do so. Only one of a tiny handful of countries in the whole world to do so.

The kind of exhilaration, pride, joy, I feel, is hard to describe.

And wouldn't it be ironic if gay and lesbian couples from the US started to emigrate to South Africa? To petition for residence on the grounds that South Africa offers a fundamental human right denied to them in their own country?
