Brazil judicial panel clears way for gay marriage
http://www.globalpost.com/dispatch/news/afp/130514/brazil-judicial-panel-clears-way-gay-marriageCongratulations Glenn Greenwald and FUCK THE GREENWALD HATERS!
"A top judicial panel cleared the way for same-sex marriage in Brazil Tuesday, ruling that gay couples could not be denied marriage licenses.
The National Council of Justice, which oversees the Brazilian judicial system and is headed by the chief justice of the Supreme Court, said government offices that issue marriage licenses had no standing to reject gay couples."
