Earlier this week, two Argentinian men wed and became Latin America’s first legally recognized same-sex married couple. Jose Maria Di Bello and Alex Freyre’s wedding was initially thwarted by a national judge who overturned a city court decision to issue them a marriage license in Buenos Aires. However, Governor of Tierra del Fuego, Fabiana Rios, issued a special decree allowing the two to marry in Argentina’s southern province. Freyre told the Associated Foreign Press:
Now we’ll be able to share Social Security, we’ll have all the rights as other couples — because we’re worth it…It’s a personal celebration, but also a public and political one. We have to sacrifice our intimacy so the world can see that Latin America and Argentina is opening up to judicial equality.
