Guam Moving Forward?

From the BBC:
"Guam governor backs same-sex marriage"

The governor of Guam has backed legislation allowing the Pacific island nation to become the first US territory to allow same-sex marriage.  The decision comes two days after a couple filed a lawsuit when they were denied a marriage licence application. Governor Eddie Calvo has called for a referendum to finally decide the issue, which has sharply divided the public.   In 2009 the Guam legislature failed to pass a bill legalising civil unions between gay couples. "Marriage is a fundamental right which cannot be denied based on gender," Attorney General Elizabeth Barrett-Anderson said in a letter directing a government agency to process licences. Legislation is pending for another US territory, Puerto Rico, which would overturn the definition of marriage as between a man and a woman.

^ This is a big step in the right direction for Guam and the rest of the US. I only hope gay marriage there becomes legal. It seems to have slowed down in the rest of the US and that needs to change. ^
