::: A second gay couple in Argentina was given approval by a judge on Tuesday to be married at a civil registry in Buenos Aires, AFP reports. The two men whose names were not released would be the second gay couple to marry in the country. In granting approval for the marriage Judge Elena Liberatori said the couple is exercising their rights even if current laws “are not in line with the times”. In December, Jose Maria Di Bello and Alex Freyre became the first gay couple to marry in Latin America. Even though one judge initially gave Di Bello and Freyre permission to marry in Buenos Aires, another judge blocked their planned wedding, forcing them to travel to the southern state of Tierra del Fuego state where sympathetic officials allowed them to marry. A marriage equality law is expected to take effect next month in Mexico City, but marriage equality is not formally recognized elsewhere in Latin America.
