Brazil Is Now The 3rd Place In South America LGBTs Can Marry
In May, Brazil’s Supreme Court ruled that gay civil unions deserved greater legal recognition. Then in June, a Brazilian state court allowed two men to legally upgrade their civil union into a full marriage. And now Brazil’s Supreme appeals court has ruled that two women can legally marry. Parabéns!
If the ruling holds then they’ll join Mexico City and Argentina as the only South Latin American places where LGBTs can tie the knot. Honeymoon in Rio—that place is hot as balls!
Queerty, get your facts right. This doesn’t mean that Brazil will have marriage equality across the country at all. Several couples so far have been granted the right to marry but it has NOT been extended to the entire country, yet and hasn’t been legislated for all gays to have the right to marry.

Mexico is part of North American, but its also part of Latin America
“Latin America (Spanish: América Latina or Latinoamérica; Portuguese: América Latina; French: Amérique latine) is a region of the Americas where Romance languages (i.e., those derived from Latin) – particularly Spanish and Portuguese, and variably French – are primarily spoken.”

Seriously? Mexico City isn’t in South America… still, though, as a Brazilian-American, this makes me very happy!
