Mexico city legalizes gay marriages while Uganda kills homosexuals

Only seven countries in the world allow gay marriages: Canada, Spain, South Africa, Sweden, Norway, the Netherlands and Belgium. US states that permit same-sex marriage are Iowa, Massachusetts, Vermont, Connecticut and New Hampshire.

 Mexico city is now part of the above group.

Comments from Mexican officials :

“Mexico City will become a centre, where (gay) people from all over the world will be able to come and have their wedding, and then spend their honeymoon here,”

“We are already in talks with some travel agencies that are planning to offer package tours that include flights, hotels, guides, and everything they need for the wedding, like banquets,”

“We are going to become a city on a par with Venice or San Francisco” 

Let us think for a minute.

According to Community Marketing Inc, a tourism research company that specialize in GLBT consumers, the economical impact from GLBT travelers in America alone is about $70bn!!

It is sad that a country, any country, justifies our right to marriage through "Dollars and Cents", something that South Africa never did ( we had other issues at the time)

Yet, I am happy that we came this far. Still a lot of work to be done, don't slack!!

We have brothers and sisters in Uganda, that get HUNTED for being gay. I don't exaggerate. The general public are obliged to report homosexual activity within 24 hours or risk three years in jail. Upon a "guilty" verdict, there is the death sentence.

It's a witch hunt I tell you.

It's murder.
