Today Argentina celebrates a Human Rights and Dignity Victory. To my way of thinking this beats first place at the World Cup Soccer.
Paula Brooks, of Lez Get Real posted the good news:
“After a 14-hour debate that lasted well into the early morning hours, the senate of Argentina has voted 33-27 to pass a bill that gives same-sex couples equal marriage rights and will make Argentina the first Latin American country to legalize same-sex marriage.
The bill, that has already passed the lower chamber of Congress despite a concerted campaign by the Roman Catholic Church and evangelical groups, will also grant same-sex couples the right to adopt children.
Debate on the bill began in early afternoon on Wednesday and spilled into the early hours of Thursday as several hundred same-sex marriage supporters also stood vigil awaiting the vote.”
