Argentina Legalizes Gay Marriage
16 07 2010
Argentina legalized same-sex on July 15, with a 33-27 vote in the Senate, with three abstentions.
The Chamber of Deputies had approved the bill in May, and President Cristina Fernández de Kirchner strongly supports it.
The debate lasted nearly 15 hours.
Evan Wolfson, head of the U.S. group Freedom to Marry, applauded the vote. “Today’s historic vote shows how far Catholic Argentina has come, from dictatorship to true democratic values.”
