Portugal's conservative president announced Monday he is ratifying a law allowing gay marriage in the predominantly Catholic country. The head of state's decision to permit the enactment of a bill passed by Parliament in January makes Portugal the sixth European country allowing same-sex couples to wed. President Anibal Cavaco Silva said in a nationally televised address he regretted that the country's political parties had failed to reach a compromise during days of heated debate in Parliament four months ago.

So one of the PIGS shows us one of the reasons why they’ve come to fail.
Not to be distracted by financial insolvency Portugal finds time to address gay marriage. Talk about a country with misplaced priorities!
Its seems more a misguided population control method.
Where are they going to get the next generation?
Morocco.
And this almost immediately after the Holy Father's visit to his country.
for your lists
They are adopting and creating more homosexual children.
In a related development, the president recommended changing the name of the capital city from "Lisbon" to "Lesbon".

Portugal has been voting socialist for a long time. It’s the same thing all over. It is like the Democrats over here, they give people stuff to get their loyalty and votes and at the same time they are sneaking in the radical social agenda. This is a world wide movement. Whatever happens in one country soon spreads to other countries. See how our Dems hero worship the Euro socialists. They want to be just like them.
This ... following on the heels of the Holy Father’s visit. Idiot! (not you - the president)
Indeed. Does Portugal seriously want to end up like the other countries that have legalized same-sex marriage?
There goes Portugal? America is teetering on the edge herself. It’s almost as though the entire world is turning into Sodom and Gomorrah...
Put lipstick on a lib and it’s still a lib.....but don’t ever think you’re fooling us by calling it a conservative!
Militant
And the end will be that same. Fire and brimstone.
Get your hearts right with Jesus folks, the ride is going to get very bumpy for those who are left behind.
All the bailout money in the world (and then some) can't fix that.
I do think that term "PIIGS" is malevolent, nonetheless.
P stands for Portugal I stands for Ireland and Italy
G stands for Greece and S stands for Spain
PIGS is the term being used in the financial circls about the potential collapse.
