Two gay men who have been a couple for 14 years have become the first to register to marry in Uruguay, hours after a law came into force allowing same-sex marriages in the country.

Uruguay is the second South American nation to pass a gay-marriage law.

Three years ago, Argentina became the first country in Latin America to allow same-sex marriages.

Since then, Brazil's Supreme Court overwhelmingly voted in favour of granting same-sex couples the same legal rights as married heterosexuals, effectively authorising gay marriage.

In Colombia, a judge recently ordered a notary to sign a document which - while not a marriage certificate - in effect gave a same-sex couple the same rights as a heterosexual one.

In Mexico, legislation on same-sex unions is a matter for individual states. Gay marriage is legal in the capital and the southern state of Quintana Roo, while the states of Coahuila and Colima allow gay couples to enter into civil unions. Gay marriage remains illegal in the rest of the country.

On July 20, 2005, Canada became the fourth country in the world, and the first country outside Europe, to legalize same-sex marriage nationwide with the enactment of the Civil Marriage Act which provided a gender-neutral marriage definition.

Gosh, how can this be, when all those hispanic countries are “strong social conservatives” and “Devout catholics” with “traditional family values”? </sarcasm>

Not quite.

They hired a Russian surrogate mom using the sperm of one of the perps. They git custody 5 days after birth.

The abuse allegedly started at 2.
