International News Briefs

An attempt to put anti-gay amendments into El Salvador's constitution failed Sept. 24.
The proposals would have banned gay adoption, same-sex marriage, gay civil unions and recognition of foreign gay unions.
Fifty-six votes were needed, a two-thirds majority. Proponents fell 10 votes short.
President Mauricio Funes' governing left-wing Farabundo Marti National Liberation Front opposed the amendments, saying they violated GLBT civil rights.
