NEWS.- The July 15, 2010, five years ago, it was a historic day for Argentina, especially for the 9423 homosexual couples who have been married in these 5 years, according to official figures of the organizations that make up the Argentina LGBT Federation. Only in the province of Buenos Aires 2998 marriages have been contracted. That day was momentous for all of society, which began to talk about a subject that until then had been taboo.
The Argentine Republic was the first country in Latin America to recognize this right throughout its national territory and the tenth country to legalize homosexual unions worldwide.
The debate on the approval of a law authorizing same-sex marriage began in Argentina from the national campaign for legal equality launched by the Argentine Federation of Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Trans. The slogan "The same rights, with the same names" it became a fighting currency. Precisely in Argentina began to use the expression equal marriage to refer to the reform of the Civil Code, understanding that what was pursued was the search for equality among its inhabitants. From that moment the term began to be used frequently "equality marriage" to refer to gay marriage in other countries where approval is discussed.
