Uruguay legalizes unisexual marriages
3 December 2007Uruguay is going to legalize “civil marriage” between persons of one sex, informs Reuters.
Deputies have passed the law allowing unisexual and couples of different sexes to enter into a civil marriage after at least five years of living together. The Senate has earlier approved the given law, informs Gayrussia.ru.
The member of the ruling left-centrist party Edgardo Ortuno has declared, that “this recognition of a legal status includes the recognition of a legal status of homosexual couples that is completely new amendment”.
Uruguay is the first South American country actually legalizing unisexual marriages. As a whole the continent is occupied by true Catholics - in the majority of the Latin American countries the idea of the unisexual unions is unacceptable. Uruguay is already the fifth country, which legalizes unisexual marriages.
In Latin America the civil unions of unisex couples are now lawful in capital of Argentina Buenos Aires, capital of Mexico and the Mexican state Koahila. The Uruguayan law will be the first in South America which will be applied at a national level. Unisexual marriages, however, will be banned in Uruguay.
