Argentina to Offer Marriage to LGBT Tourists

Argentina just passed a law offering marriage to tourists, both straight and gay. Isn’t it surprising that a predominantly Catholic country continues to be so much more progressive than the US? I think history will look back and for the first time see the United States trailing behind the world in civil rights issues.

Before the Evangelicals hijacked the GOP, The US was on the forefront of everything. But religious fanatics are dragging us back decades in terms of science and social issues. I wonder if we’ll wake up as a nation and move ahead as a democracy rather than slip backward toward a theocracy.
