Although on Dec. 21 Mexico City became the first Latin American metropolis to vote to legalize same-sex marriage, two Argentines led the charge to the altar. On Dec. 28, Jose Maria Di Bello and Alex Freyre became the first gay couple in Latin America to wed. Because Argentina's constitution does not declare that marriage must be between a man and a woman, the men asked for and were granted special permission from the governor of the southern province of Tierra del Fuego, to which they traveled to be pronounced husband and husband...
