The above video is the president of Costa Rica talking about her opinions about homosexual marriage. She basically says there are other ways than marriage to allow homosexuals to have the same rights as heterosexual people. It does not look like gay marriage will be something that the country will have, at least it won't be called that, but would have the same rights as marriage.
It's really just confusing to me. Why call it something else, when it will essentially be the same thing as marriage? I believe that it is purely to do with the country being Catholic. But it is ironic because prostitution is legal in such a religious place...
