Actor and theatre director Juan Carlos M

Actor and theatre director Juan Carlos Moretti (L), 67, and Adrian Figuera, 38, pose together in Montevideo on April 17, 2008, day in which they became the first gay couple to be married in Uruguay. A so-called "cohabitation union law" went into effect on January 1 in the country, allowing heterosexual and homosexual couples living together for at least five years to receive the same legal rights and benefits that traditional marriage bestows. With the civil union between Moretti and Figuera, Uruguay became the first nation in Latin America to marry a gay couple.
