Last night New Zealand’s Parliament passed legislation
legalizing gay marriage. This video
shows what happened next. The entire
Parliament and spectators burst into song, singing “Pokarekare Ana,” a love
song in the language of New Zealand’s inidgenous Maori people. The woman in the video wearing the rainbow
shirt is Louisa Wall, a lesbian lawmaker who sponsored the legislation.
Can you imagine the U.S. Congress breaking into song about
anything, much less the passage of legislation to give people long-deserved
equal rights? Always thought New Zealand
was a beautiful country.It will make you feel good.
