A northern Mexican state approved gay unions yesterday. Coahuila, population 2.3 million, borders Texas and hosts hundreds of maquiladoras, factories set up by U.S. companies to exploit the cheap local labor pool. Crazy.

“I’m a big fan of K-Fed, that’s who I want to marry. What did he do that was so wrong? She’s the idiot. She’s the one who gave him the Ferrari. Who gives a Ferrari to rough trade? Who could blame him for taking it?” – John Waters..
