Spain one step closer to legal gay marriage
http://www.advocate.com/new_news.asp?ID=14705&sd=12/31/04-01/03/05

Spain's Socialist government on Friday approved a bill to legalize same-sex marriages, putting this predominantly Roman Catholic country on course to become only the third country to recognize gay marriages nationwide. The bill was approved at a cabinet meeting and is expected to be presented to parliament in February for debate.

"The right to marry is a right for everyone, without distinction. It cannot be understood as a privilege," Deputy Prime Minister Maria Teresa Fernandez de la Vega told a press conference after the cabinet meeting. "The recognition of homosexuals' rights eradicates an unjustified discrimination."

still looking for my sexy Spanish man!
