This recent wave of gay men and lesbians has caught up with Uruguay as they legalised same-sex marriage today.

Seventy-one of 92 lawmakers in the lower house voted in favour of the proposal, one week after the senate passed it by a wide majority. President Jose Mujica is expected to sign the bill into law.

Uruguay is the 12th country to pass a law of this kind, according to Human Rights Watch. In the Americas, Argentina and Canada have approved gay marriage, and it is allowed in Mexico City and some parts of Brazil, as well as nine states of the US.
