Same-sex marriage in Portugal

According to The New York Times, the President of Portugal has just ratified that country's law legalizing same-sex marriage. It's so reassuring to know that yet another country, especially one that was a dictatorship in my lifetime, has leapfrogged the U.S. in this matter. Some people, it seems, won't be happy until we fall behind even Iran, Saudi Arabia, and the Taliban-controlled areas.
