The Phillipines' communist New Peoples' Army, a guerrilla rebel group, has sanctioned same-sex marriage and officiated the first gay marriage in the force:
On Friday, under a romantic drizzle in a muddy clearing in Compostela Valley province in Mindanao, Ka Andres and Ka Jose exchanged vows in a heavily guarded ceremony before local villagers, friends from the city and their comrades in arms.
They are considered the first homosexual couple in the New People's Army (NPA) who were wed by the Communist Party of the Philippines (CPP).
(Thanks, Winston!)
