End of the world, beginning of everything ". The slogan which promotes and identifies Ushuaia has finally become yesterday's ideal for the life of Alex Freyre and José Maria Di Bello (and may be so for much / as other leaders). is that gay couples finally won in the capital of Tierra del Fuego that had been denied in Buenos Aires, where he lives, almost a month ago: to marry any couple who loves it wants.
The historical fact is definitely in Latin America because this is the first marriage between same sex throughout the region. Occurred in the southernmost city in the world, thanks to a decree signed yesterday the governor of Tierra del Fuego Fabiana Ríos (ARI), which authorized the Registrar to accept and declare them husband and husband.
Freyre and Di Bello had asked for duty at the Civil Registry of Ushuaia on 22 December. But they received a negative response. So administrative hierarchy appealed to the governor of Tierra del Fuego, who after a favorable opinion of the Legal and Technical Secretariat provincial, and taking into account the background of the ruling that declared unconstitutional the impediment posed by the Code Civil, described the decree to give them a turn. To achieve it, José María changed his residence to one in this province. But that was just a very simple process in a move that was all planned in secret for weeks.
is that, first, the couple always knew that Rios and his team supported them in public and in private. In fact, former and current member of the RIA media secretary of the province, Gorbacz Leonardo was one of the witnesses to the marriage yesterday, with the holder of INADI, Claudio Morgado, the delegate of the organization in Tierra del Fuego, Emily Warren; and Maria Rachid, president of the Argentina Federation for Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender (LGBT) -. I also knew, of course, Tierra del Fuego is a province "gay friendly."
"It was a process that went through my office," attempted to downplay the event-and role itself transcendental Rivers to Clarin. The truth is that since they could not marry in Buenos Aires on December 1, Freyre and Di Bello, together with the LGBT and INADI plus crew Tierra del Fuego, were plotting to plan in Buenos Aires in secret. "We did so to avoid objections and intolerant as ever jumped," he told this means a high source of Tierra del Fuego. The couple arrived on Wednesday to Ushuaia, when they knew what they were doing.
"My obligation is to act according to law. There was a ruling in favor and was declared unconstitutional in the case of boys. If I'm happy?" What we want you to say, I comply with the law, "he explained to this Rivers chronicler, the linchpin of this story. Eleonora De Maio, head of Legal and Technical Tierra del Fuego, contributed in the development of the strategy. "The governor, by agreeing to marry in Ushuaia, was based on a ruling that had declared unconstitutional where two articles of the Civil Code, only for these two people. That is, other couples planning to get married have to go through the courts, "explained Clarin. "It was something very interesting about the exercise of rights is a step forward in human rights," he said from Tierra del Fuego the flamboyant owner of INADI, Claudio Morgado.
Someone who was in meetings last week was: "Tierra del Fuego was a favored political territory, or 'friendly'. They did so in the utmost secrecy, but the judge Gabriela Seijas, who had issued the statement , agreed. Absolutely all parties were aware, "he said.
So, quietly and with legal arguments, Freyre and Di Bello got that far south in the city were banned, and what many fellow thank you for fighting for their rights. Be happy.
