29th
Lesbian couples stand in front of Argentina’s National Congress gathering signatures to support a possible law bill on gay marriage in Buenos Aires, Thursday, Oct. 29, 2009. Gay and lesbian activists think Argentina is ready to become Latin America’s first nation to legalize gay marriage and they’ve got a growing number of supporters in Congress, which opened debate Thursday on whether to change dozens of laws that define marriage as a union between a “man and woman.” The sign atop reads, in Spanish, “Marriage Law: The same rights with the same names.”
wow. This is huge. If a Latino country passes gay marriage before we do…
Spain already has. (One more reason to move there — hooray for a progressive society!)
