Those Gay Spaniards Really Know How to Party

Spaniards take to the streets to celebrate the legalization of gay marriage.

Tens of thousands of people, many dancing or banging drums, packed the
streets of Madrid on Saturday to celebrate Spain’s new law legalizing gay
marriage.

“This is infinitely gay. There are no words to express it,” Ivan Sanchez,
a 26-year-old pharmacist, said as the throng snaked its way through the
capital.

Flatbed trucks crowded with young men and women honked their horns as

procession led by Culture Minister Carmen Calvo and other members of the
governing Socialist party, which sponsored the law.

The rally culminated by spilling into Plaza de Colon.

Dancing, Banging, Snaking, Honking, Spilling! That's gotta be more fun than Karl Rove, Ken Mehlman and Clarence Thomas playing naked olive oil Twister on the Constitution!
