A long fight for equality makes gay marriage possible in Costa Rica

Description

San José, May 25 (EFE) .- More than three decades ago, Marco Castillo began a path towards equality, full of rejections, obstacles, and achievements, the last one being equal marriage in Costa Rica, which will enter into force on Tuesday by order of the Constitutional Chamber.(CAMERA: María José Brenes)STATEMENTS: MARCO CASTILLO - ACTIVIST AND LAWYER"The importance of my wedding with Rodrigo is that it will be the first wedding in a family court. It is very important to make it clear that family courts have to agree to marry same-sex couples. The court said that judges cannot deny marriage to a couple for personal reasons. That is clear, but we have to take the first step to make it visible. Family courts are obligated because it is the couple's right to get married."
