Costa Rica is the first country in Central America where LGBTI people can get married NOW

Costa Rica is the first Central American country where LGBTI people are allowed to tie the knot. In several Costa Rican cities, partners gave each other on the night of Monday to Tuesday at midnight, when the new article of law came into effect, the yes.

Because of the corona pandemic that also affected Costa Rica, these were small ceremonies. The law was enacted following a Supreme Court ruling that declared a ban on LGBTI marriages unconstitutional.

Costa Rica is the 28th country to have LGBTs married in its constitution.

In Mexico, gays and lesbians have that right in some states. The Czech Republic is the next country about to amend the law in this area.

The Netherlands the first country where LGBTI people could get married

Same-sex marriage is now permitted in six Latin American countries. In Costa Rica, the legalization of LGBTI marriage was an important topic in the 2018 presidential elections.

The Netherlands was the first country to legalize same-sex marriage. On April 1, 2001, the then Amsterdam mayor Job Cohen connected four Dutch LGBTI couples in front of dozens of international journalists.
