First Gay Wedding in Latin America Blocked

(AP)  An Argentine judge has overturned a ruling that would have allowed the first gay marriage in Latin America.

The official court Web site says national judge Marta Gomez Alsina ordered the wedding blocked until the issue can be resolved by the Supreme Court.

Jose Maria Di Bello and his partner Alex Freyre have been planning to wed on Tuesday, based on another judge's ruling. Their attorney says they'll still try to go ahead with the ceremony because they weren't told of Monday's ruling.

Attorney Maria Rachid argues that the new ruling should not overturn the original decision to let them wed.

shame, so close to making history. all in due time. the federal judge is close to a group of ultra-catholic lawyers notorious for having defended people accused of crimes against humanity during argentina's last dictatorship, leaders of antisemitic groups, and best of all, they're all self-proclaimed admirers of Mussolini and Franco to<a href="http://www.ghfgdr.info">o</a>

Good call, judge.

Another moment of sanity..

A marriage is between ONE man and ONE woman.

Except where marriage is also between a man and a man or a woman and a woman. Sorry, but all of this is just a matter of time. How terrible it must be for you to have to deal with an evolving society.

...and the gay-haters come out. No surprise, really. There have always been cretins in the world who take pleasure in seeing other people unhappy. I'm sure they're very lonely people inside.
