Meanwhile . . . some good news

The events in Boston have dominated the news 24/7 for most of this week.   Meanwhile, planet earth has continued to turn, and stuff happened.  Two good news events:

1.  The New Zealand legislature took the final votes that made same-sex marriage legal in their country.   New Zealand becomes the 13th nation to adopt marriage equality.

2.  The Boy Scouts of America issued its long-awaited proposal to allow gay youth to participate in scouting, while continuing the ban on gay adult leaders.    This will be submitted to the 1,400 member national council for  final vote in May.  One step at a time, and this is a significant one.
