What the fuck?  For real?  And America can’t even have a federal civil union?  Oookay.  From the BBC:

Albanian Prime Minister Sali Berisha has announced his party will propose a law legalising same-sex marriage.

It is an unexpected move in a country that is still one of the most conservative in Europe and where homosexuality was illegal until 1995.

Mr Berisha acknowledged the proposed law might provoke debate but maintained that discrimination in modern Albania had to end.

Well this is good news.   Many people feel this is a way for Albania to be accepted into the European Union.   If it is, so what?   Futher, Albania is one of two European countries that is predominantly Muslim.  That could add some additional friction when gays start tongue twistin’ at the courthouse to display their love.

Some groups in Albania are already flipping their wigs:

The reaction by Islamic and Catholic leaders has been vehement.

Under the isolationist rule of Enver Hoxha, Albania was officially an atheist state.

But since the fall of Communism almost two decades ago, religion has once again grown and its leaders’ voices are influential.

This should be an interesting story.   All these religious people always flipping their wigs!!  From Alabama to Albania.  BULLSHIT!

Anyways, interesting flag.  Looks like it should be in the dungeon of a group of rabid fisting nationalist nazis.
