President Silva’s compromise reminds me of the saying “lead, follow, or get out of the way.” Sometimes the third option really is the way to go.

About time & this shows that even a conservative Prez who’s not crazy about gay marriage can avoid the kind of brain-farts that too many other ‘leaders’ [sic] seem to be chronically emitting re: gay marriage and LGBT issues in general.
As an out bi woman I am very pleased indeed – “Obrigada!”

Good international news indeed. Congrats to incoming Prime Minister Persad-Bissessar and to the people of Trinidad and Tobago! I long to be able to welcome an American woman as president. And right on Portugal! Methinks American politicians could learn a thing or two from President Silva.
