On Feb. 20, after seeing televised images of some of the gay weddings in San Francisco, [Cambodia’s] King Sihanouk commented on his Web site, www.norodomsihanouk.info [direct link to post here], that as a “liberal democracy” Cambodia should allow “marriage between man and man…or between woman and woman.” On Feb. 26, King Sihanouk followed up with a letter in which he disagreed that God absolutely opposes “gays”; rather, he wrote, “God, like Buddha, is compassion, indulgence, non-discrimination.”
