The Uruguay Senate just approved its marriage equality bill by a vote of 23-8.
The bill will return to the country's lower legislative chamber for minor changes, but President Mujica has promised to sign the bill and marriages should commence within a few months.
From Freedom to Marry: "When marriages between same-sex couples begin this summer, Uruguay will join 11 countries that have the freedom to marry for same-sex couples nationwide: The Netherlands, Belgium, Spain, Canada, South Africa, Norway, Sweden, Portugal, Iceland, Argentina, and Denmark.
"Three others have taken judicial and regional steps to allow same-sex couples to share in the freedom to marry in parts of the country: Brazil, Mexico, and the United States."
