It’s now the turn of the Upper House, for the debate over same-sex marriage is about to continue in the General Legislation Committee. After a controversial demonstration against the initiative took place in the streets of Buenos Aires yesterday, some groups aim at approving the bill that seeks to amend the Civil Code to allow gay couples to get married.
Liliana Negre de Alonso leads the Committee. According to several sources, the debate is scheduled to start at 4:00pm. Several leaders are pledged to be present, such as Lesbian Gay Bisexual Transexual Argentine Federation President María Rachid, and the head of La Fulana community centre Claudia Castrosin Verdu.
The bill aiming at allowing same-sex couples to get married posts the support of the biggest caucuses’ heads in the Upper House, Victory Front’s Miguel Angel Pichetto and Radical Gerardo Morales.
