Costa Rica, the first country in Central America to legalize same-sex marriage
Costa Rica has become the first country in Central America to legalize same-sex marriage and the 28th UN state to recognize such unions.
'Costa Rica celebrates today! Marriage equality has become a reality in the country - the first in Central America! We rejoice with you: congratulations to all those who worked so hard to make this happen! '', Wrote the International Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Trans and Intersex Association (ILGA) in a message posted on Twitter.
The Constitutional Court of Costa Rica ruled in August 2018 that the ban on same-sex marriage is unconstitutional and gave Parliament 18 months to legalize these unions, otherwise the provision would have automatically become null and void.
"This change will bring a significant social and cultural transformation of the country," said President Carlos Alvarado Quesada.

The restaurant chain Burger King in Mexico temporarily changed the logo on social networks and turned into Burger Queer ("Burger Queer") to mark the month of the pride and support the LGBTQIA + community. With any order from Burger Queer, the company will also send a cardboard crown. The change of logo received a mixed reaction from Internet users, ITK writes.
It seemed to many users that this was a “fun step”, and changing the logo is much more interesting than what brands usually do in support of the pride (someone even called traditional company gestures “rainbow capitalism”). Others jokingly called the "Burger Queer" their "new sexual identity."
Several Facebook commentators wondered why the company had not changed the logo to Burger Queen. And Twitter users laughed at the “language” of Facebook: the social network indicates that the company added a “temporary profile photo”.
