Great day for South Africa

By a vote of 230-41, with three abstentions, the National Assembly passed the Civil Union Bill, a compromise that resulted from months of heated public discussion.

I don't think it's quite out of the woods yet. I think they still have to get the bill through some legal hoops. And having lived in S Africa, I can tell you they it's still a very gay unfreindly place. But I was especially glad to see the voting numbers! 230-41? Puts Canada to shame, thats for sure.
