Argentina first Latin American nation to approve marriage equality
Hurrah for Argentina. BUENOS AIRES — Argentina's Senate narrowly approved a law early on Thursday authorizing same-sex marriages, making Argentina the first country in Latin America to allow gay couples to wed. <snip> But in a region where the separation of church and state is not always so clear, the law demonstrated a […]
Smart Men are Sexy
Just read Slag Heap every day. Not only does it make me nostalgic for the slap heap upon which I played as a child (now known as Century Square in West Mifflin), but it is probably the smartest blog in the region. Well, Chris Briem is pretty damn close but I have to admit he intimidates […]
