It's a watershed moment for LGBTQ rights in the Catholic-majority country.

Judges on Quito's constitutional court ruled five-to-four on Wednesday to overhaul the country's laws, arguing that its current marriage legislation was discriminatory and unconstitutional, and that same-sex couples should be allowed equal rights.The four dissenting judges said that changes to the Ecuadorean constitution should be decided and approved by the government and not the court.

Same-sex marriage advocate Pamela Troya, who had been denied a license to marry her partner, Gaby Correa in 2013, told CNN she was"overwhelmed with emotion," after a six-year fight. "The judges decided to be on the right side of history," she said, adding that now the pair will finally be able to get married.

Remember marriage is only between a male and female

There is nothing wrong with the mentally ill getting hitched to each other.

Don’t forget to thank President Trump for putting pressure on the countries of the world to decriminalize being gay. Seriously, thank him.
