BREAKING: Colombian Constitutional Court APPROVES Same-Sex Marriage In Landmark 6-3 Ruling

In a ruling that was widely anticipated, today the Colombian Constitution Court issued a landmark 6-3 ruling which legalizes same-sex marriage nationwide. Today’s ruling follows a 2011 decision which declared that unions between same-sex couples fall under the government’s definition of families. You can find Spanish-language reporting on today’s ruling here and here. I’ll update this post shortly when we get reporting from the English-language press.
