During the fight for equality, many countries have been featured in the spotlight for the laws made concerning same-sex marriages in those countries.
Argentina:
After 14 hours of debate in mid-July, the Argentinian Senate voted 33 to 27 to approve La Ley de Matrimonio Igualitario (the Equal Marriage Law), making Argentina the first Latin American country to grant same-sex couples the right to marry and the critically important benefits that accompany the union. Argentina has established an elite status as one of 10 countries with legal same-sex marriage and a progressive leader in South America.
