Latin American human rights court urges same-sex marriage legalization


A Latin American human rights court said on Tuesday January 9th that countries in the region should legalize same-sex unions, endorsing a growing push for marriage equality despite opposition from the Roman Catholic Church.
The Inter-American Court of Human Rights’ decision came in response to a petition submitted two years ago by Costa Rican president Luis Guillermo Solis, who had vowed to increase rights for lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender people in the majority Catholic country.

The decision is not viculative but could be used by LGBT Lobby and some Political parties to impose same sex laws.
