El Salvador: LGBTI Community Rejects Gay Marriage Ban
A constitutional reform that prohibits gay marriage and only allows a union between a man and a woman was passed by the Salvadoran Legislative Assembly in April by 47 votes. Yes votes came from the right-wing parties that were the main backers of the measure, while the FMLN abstained. The Salvadoran LGBTI community strongly rejects the reform, but say that for the time being, they have more important issues to deal with. teleSUR
