18. Wait a second--is he actually married??? When did Brazil get same sex marriages?

Jan 2012

If Glenn Greenwald wants to marry a partner 20 years younger and live in the US, then I say, more power to him---he should be able to.

BUT, if where he lives, Brazil, doesn't recognize same-sex marriages, I don't think he can fault the US for that.....

In fact, I'm still wondering why his partner isn't able to get a visa?
