According to the article found in asiaone.com, " Argentina on Thursday became the first country in Latin America to legalize same-sex marriage carried live on national television. It was adopted in a 33-27 vote after 15 hours of debate. The law tweaks the legal code which no longer will refer to husband and wife, but rather to "the marrying parties".
"Same-sex couples will have the same rights as heterosexuals in terms of adoptions, social security and family time."
I find this article very interesting, and have to agree that foreigners are indeed much more open-minded as compared to us. In our country, we do see gays and lesbians around, but i don't think the law in Singapore allows them to get married. No matter what, we shouldn't discriminate and should respect each individual's choice of partner.
