Brazil Celebrates First Gay Marriage
The first gay marriage in Brazil was performed last night after a court granted an eight year couple a marriage certificate.
Brazil is now the most populous country in the world to recognize and perform same sex marriages, and the second country in South America to do so after Argentina legalized gay marriage last year. Other countries to allow gay marriage include Belgium, Iceland, Mexico, Netherlands, Norway, Portugal, South Africa, Spain and Sweden. Canada of course became the fourth country to legalize same-sex marriage nationwide in 2005. Gay marriage is also recognized in six US states and foreign same-sex marriages are recognized in Israel.
