Colombia legalises same-sex marriage
Colombia follows other countries like Argentina, Brazil, Uruguay that all allow same-sex couples to marry.
Gays Star News reports that six of the nine judges approved the ruling and same-sex couples were previously allowed to form civil partnerships but now, after the new ruling, it allows them the same rights as opposite-sex couples.
The ruling states that, “All people are free to choose independently to start a family in keeping with their sexual orientation… receiving equal treatment under the constitutional order and the law.”
