Britain OKs New-Gender Transsexual Unions
Britain's upper chamber of Parliament on Tuesday approved legislation allowing transsexuals to obtain new birth certificates and marry in their adopted gender.
The Gender Recognition Bill, which the House of Lords passed by 155 votes to 57, next goes to the House of Commons and is expected to come into force in 2005.

I doubt if we will see the equivalent in the USA for years to come.

4. Almost all gay people are born as a result of heterosexual sex

Each fundie can do his or her part to stop homosexuality at the source.
