Argentina Legalizes Homosexual Marriage

(Buenos Aires, Argentina) Judge Gabriela Seijas ordered that two men on the civil union registry, Alejandro Freyre, 39, and Jose Maria Di Bello, 41, be officially married.

Consequently, the precedent has been set for homosexual marriage throughout Latin America, the global region with the world's largest population of Catholics.
Seijas deemed that "the law must treat everyone with the same respect according to their particular situation" and declared unconstitutional two articles of the civil code, including one stating that marriage is only between a man and a woman.

"All you have to do is change the words 'man' and 'woman' with the word 'party,'" said Di Bello, who along with his partner is HIV-positive.
Party, eh? Heh.
