Argentina Is For Lovers
Argentina becomes the next country to legalize same-sex marriage.
Argentina has become the first country in Latin America to legalise gay marriage after the Senate voted in favour.
The country’s Chamber of Deputies had already approved the legislation.
The vote in the Senate, which backed the bill by just six votes, came after 14 hours of at times heated debate.
The law, which also allows same-sex couples to adopt, had met with fierce opposition from the Catholic Church and other religious groups.
The legislation, backed by President Cristina Fernandez’s centre-left government, passed by 33 votes to 27 with three abstentions.
In 20 years, I doubt same-sex marriage will be controversial and people will wonder what all the fuss was about.

So does the US have to recognize marriages made in Argentina?
If not, then perhaps Argentina should retaliate by not recognizing marriages made in the US.
