The latter has been Argentina. With legalization of marriages between same-sex 1, with the full support of the president, Cristina Kirchner, is became the first Latin American country to recognize this right. The tenth in the world. And it is these days the news that the Supreme Court of Mexico said yes to same-sex marriage by voting in favor of the law that allows only six months in Mexico City and dismissed the prosecutor that the rule violates the principle that the Constitution protects the family. Mexico City was the first Latin American city to have approved gay marriage in December 2009. The same parliament had already allowed civil unions in 2006. In these notes Arcigay 2 , it must add 17 more that recognize equal rights for all pairs or, alternatively, grant certain rights to civil unions, including gay and lesbians. Globally, Asia and Africa are the continents ever further back from the perspective of the rights of LGBT people. Suffice it to say that only in Africa, in 38 states on 53, homosexuality is punished by law and, often, you may end up in jail just for being suspected of having had an affair of this kind.
were the countries Netherlands, in April 2001, the first to allow gay marriage, giving them the same rights and obligations as heterosexual couples. With 107 votes in favor and 33 against, Parliament eliminated all discrimination on the subject. The law now requires that, to get married, at least one of two people is a Dutch national, or resident in the Netherlands. On 30 January 2003 fell to Belgium, who fired a law with a large parliamentary majority. In Spain gay marriage has become a reality since 2005 and there is also the possibility of adopting children (next to marriage, there are still laws and records of de facto couples). In Sweden, as well as in Norway , gays can also marry in church, so after the Act of Parliament in early 2009. Since November of that year, the church Swedish Lutheran is ready to celebrate the fact that unions at the altar, although inside there were raised voices against the decision. The Canada has legalized such marriages in July 2005, opening its doors to residents abroad (August 10, it's up to two Italian citizens of Milan and Turin to get married). In
Portugal, the ok to get the wedding last May, with the signing of Portuguese President Anibal Cavaco Silva, a practicing Catholic. Unlike what happens in Spain, in this country are not yet allowed the adoptions. In Iceland, the law that allows gay weddings was inaugurated Last June, the Prime Minister Johanna Sigurdardottir, who wanted to marry his companion historical Jonin Leosdottir, with whom he had already united civilly in 2002. The South Africa is the only African country from November 2006 to legalize civil unions between homosexuals. The religious ceremony is optional, although the different Churches can refuse to celebrate these unions, while the civil ceremony is open to all. Here gay couples can adopt since 2002.
addition to these ten countries, Arcigay remember, there are 17 others who recognize the same (or some) rights to couples regardless of their sex. This is Austria (civil unions since January 2010) France (civil unions were adopted in 1999 for homosexual and heterosexual), Denmark (the first country in the world to authorize, in 1989, civil marriage or registered partnership of homosexuals), United Kingdom (since 2005, the "civil partnership" would also protect gay couples), Luxembourg (in force since 2004, the registered partnership), Germany (here it is in effect a "contract of common life"), Switzerland ("registered partnership" since 2005, excluding adoption), Slovenia (a civil unions law grants limited rights in the field of property relations and inheritance), Hungary (since February 2010 it is possible for same-sex couples enter into civil unions as equivalent to heterosexual ones), Czech Republic, Finland , Andorra, Croatia (a law adopted in 2003 guarantees that "mutual support" and inheritance rights), Ireland (in July, the Irish President Mary McAleese has ratified a bill, already approved by Parliament, establishing civil unions), Colombia , New Zealand (from 2004 to the law guarantees homosexual couples the same rights as heterosexual), Uruguay (17 April 2008 was celebrated the first union gay in a courtroom in Montevideo). In the United States
the situation, as demonstrated by the ruling of the district judge in California 3 , is subject to constant change, on a matter the subject of much heated confrontations between conservatives and those who, instead, is to of gay unions. In all, five states to recognize gay marriage, in addition to a federal district: Massachusetts (from 2003, with a decision of the Supreme Court which declared discriminatory and therefore unconstitutional and illegal, to exclude same sex couples from marriage) Connecticut (same Supreme Court decision in 2008), Iowa (the Supreme Court says unanimously to recognize the constitutional requirement of these unions), Vermont (September 2009), New Hampshire (January 2010), Washington DC (law signed in December 2009, first marriages in March 2010). Marriage is also recognized by a tribe of Indians of Oregon. Finally, to also mention the Brazil, where unions between same sex shall be recognized since 2004.
L ' Italy, as is known, has no legal protection for gay unions. "We, along with Greece, the only country not to recognize same-sex couples the rights and represent an exception in Europe and among advanced countries, "says the president of Arcigay, Paolo Patanè." discrimination that prevents same-sex couples to access the institution of marriage - he concludes - is just as unacceptable as absurd for a state law that has as its values \u200b\u200bbased equality and freedom of its citizens. The Italian Constitutional Court has recently stated the same thing, committing the parliament to address and resolve the discrimination faced by homosexuals. "
