Same-sex marriage has been legal in Uruguay since August 5, 2013.[1] A bill for legalization was passed by the Chamber of Representatives on December 12, 2012, in a vote of 81–6.[2] The Senate approved it with some minor amendments on April 2, 2013, in a 23–8 vote.[3] The amended bill was approved by the Chamber of Representatives in a 71–21 vote on April 10 and was signed into law by President José Mujica on May 3, 2013. It took effect on August 5.[4][5] Uruguay was the third country in South America, after Argentina and Brazil,[6] and the fourteenth in the world to legalize same-sex marriage.
On January 20, 2008, Uruguay became the first Latin American country to enact a national civil union law. Civil unions provide several, but not all, of the rights and benefits of marriage.
