Two Argentine men have become the first gay couple in Latin America to marry.

Alejandro Freyre, 39, and Jose Maria Di Bello, 41, tied the knot in a civil ceremony in the
southern province of Tierra del Fuego.

Gay marriage is illegal in Argentina. However, the Tierra del Fuego governor issued a special
decree allowing the couple to wed there.

A judge in the capital, Buenos Aires, prevented the couple from marrying there earlier this
month.

The men, who are both HIV-positive, had planned to get married on 1 December, world Aids
day.

They eventually travelled to Tierra del Fuego, where they received the support of provincial
governor Fabiana Rios.

Although Argentina's civil code bans gay marriage, the constitution is silent on the matter.

Correspondents say the governor exploited this grey area and gave the two men a special
dispensation.

"We're extremely excited and happy about what this means for all gays and lesbians in
Argentina," Mr Di Bello said.

Several Latin American countries or cities have legalised same-sex civil unions, but these
generally confer fewer legal rights than marriage.

Always  replace the gas nozzle before driving away from the pump.

I will always "check for paper"when leaving the restroom.

I will try to drive closer to the speed limit.

I will always wear clean underwear, "just in case"

I will keep an extra safe distance when driving behind police cars.

I will no longer park the BMW next to fire hydrants.

and never again will I try to diffuse an explosive device with the help of a known practical joker
