Charlize Can Wed

As if straight men needed another reason to hate the gays, now they have it. Charlize Theron, who recently said that she and her longtime companion Stuart Townsend would wed when it was legal for gays and lesbian to do the same, may be getting married. America's favorite hottie may finally be coming off the market.

South Africa, land of apartheid, will allow same-sex marriage. Their version of the Supreme Court ordered parliament to change the marriage laws to provide equality under the law. This is important to South Africa since, you know, state-sanctioned discrimination nearly destroyed the nation. Of course, it wasn't a unanimous decision. The court ruled 10 - 1 that the law were discrimantory and needed to be reversed within the next 12 months. The lone dissenter, well, he wanted it done immediately!

See. Charlize is South African. Get it? To straight American, we apologize. Please don't beat me up.

Gee, now I feel kind of guilty that I got hitched before our own country recognized marriage equality.

Good for Charlize - now any guesses why she is acting so weird on Arrested Development?
