Argentina Beats USA As Pro-Marriage Nation

The United States of America is falling behind in marriage rights. Once, our nation set the example of liberty for others to follow. Now, the USA is a laggard.

Early this morning, Argentina became the latest nation to grant equal marriage rights to heterosexual and homosexual couples. The vote in the Argentine Senate wasn’t even very close: 33 to 27.

Yet, in the United States, our President and Congress have refused to even consider such equality. It seems that they don’t think that marriage is important enough to protect, ensuring that all consensual adult couples have access to the institution. If Argentina can legalize same-sex marriage, why can’t we?

Antipathy to marriage equality has transformed the USA from an exemplar to a cultural backwater, lowering our nation’s status in the world.
