Comments on: Portugal Supremes Say No to Marriage http://www.boxturtlebulletin.com/2009/07/31/13694 News, analysis and fact-checking of anti-gay rhetoric Thu, 23 May 2013 17:27:32 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.4.2 By: Ohio Joe http://www.boxturtlebulletin.com/2009/07/31/13694/comment-page-1#comment-46929 Ohio Joe Fri, 31 Jul 2009 22:54:41 +0000 http://www.boxturtlebulletin.com/?p=13694#comment-46929 I have read that the Socialists in Portugal (José Socrates' party) may resolve this legislatively before the appeal to the European court even gets heard.
