Sad to say but America is just too backward to do something like what’s going on in Albania. Too many people believe it will be Amageddon if it happens.

There is a problem here!
I believe the USA has the ability to be the greatest country on earth… only because I believe that any country and every country has this potential.
Greatness is achieved thru the political will of the people to elect men and women of vision!
You may have a visionary leader right at this moment, yet as a country your all still functioning on patting yourselves opn your backs for electing a black man!
Why don’t you rally around him and encourage his visionary qualities… he has less that 8 years to do this….. help him, encourage him, and make his race a non-issue.
As a Canandian, I have Gay marriage, Universal free health coverage ( and yes it works very well)(the fat cunt on US TV ads saying she had to go the states is up for liable charges in Canada).
and the respect of every coutry I visit.
Cananda IS a great Country that has had visionary men lead us to where we are today. I believe the USA can get there too if you allow yourselves to.

This.is.amazing. But, don’t be so quick to be jealous of Albania. They might have gay marriage before developing a gay community.
I can’t go into the details of the argument of why this might not be so much about gay marriage here, but I posted it on my blog:

Still, I believe it’s an amazing development!!!

The US are trailers on many things. Some just because we are stupid or stubborn. Mainly I am speaking of the Metric System of Measurement.

There are only a few countries that do not use Metric and the US is one of them. While the US is commonly called the best country in the world, its not true.

We do not allow gays to marry (Federally) and we do not use the Metric system. Those, in my opinion, show that the US is both stupid and stubborn. And to be more exact, the US Government itself is stupid and stubborn. Get with the program already, jeez.

(Yes, I am an American and since I vote, I have every right to say what I want about my government and country)

A pretty bold move. Good luck to them, I am sure they will be a target of conservative Muslim hate

The U.S. is one of the most repressive countries in the world when it comes to GLBT rites. They vote right along with the “United Arab Emirates” and the freakazoids that make up the Vatican.

Hell, if they can do it, godspeed to them. Pretty impressive that it would even be a factor in Albanian politics when you consider some of the problems they’re facing. Pretty embarrassing that we can’t do as well as they can.

How are attitudes to queers in Albania generally? I never hear about Albania.
