Planning a wedding, going through a kitchen renovation, renovating our laundry room…
On the wedding front, our invites have arrived and we’ll be mailing them out in May. For those in farther places, maybe earlier.
But in other news, today, el Senado voted 23 to 8 in favour of marriage equality. It still has one more step before it comes law, and it sounds like it is expected to pass.
Uruguay will be the second country in South America to support gay marriage. Argentina was first.
I spent 7 to 8 weeks in Montevideo last year and I’m very pleased to see how progressive Uruguay has been, in South America and Latin America, on gay and trans rights. Support for adoption, recognizing change in gender for trans-folk, and supporting civil unions (which is different from marriage).
