Less than one month after a Buenos Aires court derailed the marriage of Alex Freyre and Jose Maria di Bello, the couple wed Monday at the southern tip of Argentina, making it the first same-sex marriage in Latin America. "As a couple, we dreamed of marrying for a long time," Freyre told the state-run Telam news agency.
Their marriage was hailed as a victory by gay rights groups in Argentina, though it was unknown whether the legality of their marriage would face any challenges.
After a legal battle earlier this year, a court in the capital, Buenos Aires, ruled that a ban on same-sex marriage was illegal and ordered the proper authorities to grant the couple a marriage license if they applied for one.
On the eve of their December 1 wedding, however, another court filed an injunction, putting the brakes on the nuptials.
In Argentina, the issue of same-sex marriage is decided on the local and state level.
So Freyre and di Bello went to the southernmost state of Tierra del Fuego, where a pro-gay marriage governor welcomed the event, Telam reported. well, what's your take on these? is it that there are no more ladies in argentina that marrying your sex is in vouge?
