发帖数: 4174 | 1 The Uruguay Senate passed marriage equality legislation on Tuesday, a sure
sign that it will become the fourth nation in Latin America to establish
marriage equality in some sense, as President José Mujica has said he
intends to sign the bill into law.
The country currently allows the right to a civil union to same-sex couples.
The bill the senate passed was approved by the lower house in December, but
will have to return to the lower house to approval changes. The legislation
would also allow any couple -- gay or straight -- to decide whose surname
goes first when naming children, according to the Associated Press.
According to Freedom to Marry, Uruguay will join 11 other countries with
fully legal marriage equality (The Netherlands, Belgium, Spain, Canada,
South Africa, Norway, Sweden, Portugal, Iceland, Argentina, and Denmark), in
addition to three others (Brazil, Mexico, and the United States) where
marriage is partially legal or recognized in designated regions. |
