Argentine Attorney General Esteban Righi recommended Aug. 8 that Congress consider legalizing same-sex marriage, saying the nation can't ignore gay people's "reality."
Righi's determination came in a brief filed with the Supreme Court in the case of two women – Maria Rachid and Claudia Castro – who have sued for the right to marry each other.
Righi suggested that Congress could legalize same-sex marriage following "public discussion with the participation of all sectors," local media said.
