Comments on Uruguay Embraces Marriage Equality

and Montevideo is cheaper than Buenos Aires and waaaaaaaaaaaay friendlier.

I know is far from ideal, but this is HUGE deal for a Latin American country. Remember this was a hard right dictatorship led country in the 70's. The catholic church's grip is not as tight anymore.

See, good things come out of the newly elected socialist goverments.

This is 'common law' marriage. Only five years instead of seven.

At least you probably won't have to bribe anyone to get your common-law marriage certificate - Uruguay's the 2nd least corrupt country in Latin America.

It boggles my mind to see hipsters moving to noisy, stinky, crime-ridden BA when Montevideo is so much nicer.

Knock it down to three years, make it the only way for anyone to get married, and I'd support it planet-wide. Three years of tolerating somebody else living in your home is enough to prove you're serious.

A similar waiting period before reproducing would be nice, too, but alas....

Maybe it's not equal, but hell, this was unthinkable 20 years ago.

zzzzzzzzzzzz"A study released by the RAND Corporation reports that 300,000 U.S. troops deal with depression or post traumatic stress disorder and 320,000 suffered brain injuries stemming from their service in Iraq and Afghanistan."zzzzzzzzzz

Now, after that brief unauthorized pause, a return to entertainment by the savage warmongers at The Stranger.

montevideo is really nice, but there's quite a bit more going on in buenos aires. not surprising expats head somewhere with more activity, but that being said montevideo is fantastic if you like the smaller, sleepier kind of city.

@7:
Fuck you.

Super.

Now even Uraguay is more enlightened than Seattle.

Are you listening, super majority WA legislature?
