Argentine judge stops gay marriage

Article here.

This is so sad. I think I've already given my view on marriage and politics (or maybe I haven't-- I can't find the post if there is one).

If you're going to get government (political) benefits (to be able to make decisions about your decided spouse) then the government cannot descriminate! When gay couples have to spend $10,000 on lawyers and filing paperwork to get the same rights that a man and women get for just signing a piece of paper (marriage license) there is something fundamental that isn't right. I don't care if the church doesn't agree with gay marriage--the church isn't the one that gives these rights.

But the article comes from Argentina, not the US.
