Americans aren't the only ones having sex. And good thing, too - can you imagine a world populated entirely by the red, white and bluers? Zzzzz...totally boring.

What's not boring is this story out of India: a priest from the Kandha tribe recently officiated a marriage between Wetka Polang and Maleka Nilsa. Of the nuptials, Wetka's mother said:

We resisted their marriage because it was against our tradition. But they were in no mood to listen and eloped. They were later caught at a village fair. Finally, we were compelled to get them married according to our tradition. I have accepted Maleka as my daughter-in-law.

Although the country gained independence over fifty years ago, the government continues to enforce colonial law banning same-sex relationships. You may recall our piece on UNAIDS representative Denis Broun's recent statements admonished the archaic laws. While the government shows no sign of repealing the harsh 10-year prison sentence for gay sex, it's refreshing to hear that even the most tradition-based communities can change their minds.
