Holy Crap we did it!, and so far no Dinosaur riding Nazis (just the plain old Nazis that came after 1945, all of them weeping because of the new law). I’m sure is just a matter of time before a volcano erupts in downtown Buenos Aires or something. _Checks watch_ Any time now … Still here. 😃 ---

> [@Nava](#): > > What, did you have no budget for complete sentenc :D, Well, what do you want, we have to pay the damn debt somehow. In fact it was an attempt at humor that failed, I tried to imply that the world had ended in disaster due to Gay Marriage.

It’s not just same-sex marriage the bill that just passed both houses of the Argentine Congress also allows (married) same-sex to [adopt](http://news.yahoo.com/s/nm/20100715/wl_nm/us_argentina_gaymarriage_5) children as well. This is very surprising. I knew President Fernandez was in favour of SSM, but I didn’t think it’d make it though Congress. Argentina didn’t even have _divorce_ 25 years ago. So much for the Roman Catholic Church’s claims of “moral authority”. 😛 ---

No God was angry and sent an earthquake to punish Argentina. But he missed and hit Chile instead. And I know what you’re thinking, that was BEFORE the legalization. But God KNEW it would be legalized and is busy today so he did it earlier. See it’s really simple if you think it through 🙂 ---

I think it’s happened enough that legalizing SSM doesn’t generate Nazis riding dinos anymore. Now the best you can get nowadays is Newt Gingrich on a woolly mammoth. ---

I misread the OP title as “Arizona”, and I was about to ask if showing your green card was part of a same-sex marriage ceremony. Congrats to all the gay cabelleros.
