Argentina passes law allowing same-sex marriage and adoption

On July 15, the Argentine Senate passed a law giving same-sex couples the right to legally marry and adopt children. Argentina is the first Latin American nation to do so, although Mexico City has a municipal-level law allowing same-sex marriage.

Argentine President Cristina Fernandez, a supporter of gay marriage on human rights grounds, was expected to sign the new law promptly.

I hope this is the beginning of a new trend in that heavily Catholic part of the world.
