I guess the gauchos and caballeros are celebrating.

from www.gltnewsnow.com – Today, at 4:05 a.m., the Senate voted 33-27 to allow same-sex couples all the rights, privileges, benefits, and honors of full marriage equality in the majority Catholic Argentina.

President Cristina Fernández de Kirchner [pictured] strongly supported this passage.

“The bill has passed. It is law. The executive power will be notified,” the Senate president said as the vote was displayed on an electronic board in the chamber.

Argentina is the first Latin American country to legalize gay marriage.
