Argentina Hosts First Gay Marriage in Latin America

AFP: Two Argentine men on Tuesday became the first homosexuals to legally marry in Latin America, after the governor of the country’s southernmost Tierra del Fuego province permitted their wedding.

“We got married today in Ushuaia,” an exultant Alex Freyre told the Todos Noticias news channel in Buenos Aires by telephone.

Witness Claudio Morgano, president of the national anti-discrimination institute, called the civil marriage a “historic occasion.”
