About 20,000 people flooded Costa Rican streets yesterday to protest proposed civil unions.

Considering the values in question, the State cannot legalize these unions without failing in its duty to promote and protect an essential institution for the common good, which marriage is.†[CRP]

I wonder how many self-loathing closet cases were in attendance.
Give them a little time. CR is the most progressive, well-educated country in Central America. I'm sure most Ticos under 40 have no problem with gay unions.
