Latin America Still Waits for Gay Marriage

This article caught my attention as I wandered around Google News to find a good article to blog about. While CNN is very good at making sure their stories are published without a flaw, I still went to the Web site hoping for something. I found a very interesting article, which got me thinking about human rights instead of journalistic ability. All of Latin America could have had a first on Tuesday if a judge had not blocked the ruling. What would have made it even more significant for the gay/lesbian/transgendered community was that the couple was planning on wedding on World AIDS Day. Not only did the article do a good job of covering the story, but it also brought attention to another issue the world is facing. It offers good background about the other things that were involved in the case, and other difficulties Latin Americans have had to face when dealing with same-sex couples.
