    An excellent piece of legislation. In fact, same-sex marriage should become compulsory in Argentina.

    Whatever happen to Children rights, and people against child abuse.
    I bid anything that all this sharade will be gone when the child abuse report comes out next year to blame it on Argentine politicians, Maybe at that point they can legally bring back capital punishment for pedophiles.

    Doesn't matter. A few years of same-sex marriage and there won't be enough children in Argentina to worry about. There won't be any abuse. Children will be like gods to the dying remnants of a failing tribe.

    #3 as I recall the majority of homosexuals moan about being raped or abused as a child, will you be ok when Argentine's majority homosexual abused as children come to UK to rape your kids without you knowing ? don't think Argentina is going to let this happend in our streets, I am already writing to introduse capital punishment for pedophiles, if not even a community linching of their kind, we can't really trust our politicians, this is why Argentina fixes this things up on the streets, what the government misses on their political sheets in parliament we can fix on the streets, it only takes a few headline in the news to stop all this nonsence, in Mexico a Canadian was killed and suddenly no one want to fly from Canada anymore, now don't you ever say I didn't warn you, and if it does goes the way I say can you not moan about it or blame Argentina again we are clearly trying to be on the good side of UN and the world by scrificing our childern.

    AVARGAS.
    That's the tipical statement of those repugnant fascist people, who make a relation betwen homosexual people and pedophiles, you are not only a fascist, you are an ignorant, like it or not, with or with out legalization of gay marriage, gay couples will allways keep on breeding kids, this new law, only gives those kids, the same rights than those who are sons of heterosexual couples, and that's all.
    On the other hand, i am gay, and i am not pedophile, i only have sex with adult men, the relation that you do betwen homosexual people, and pedophiles, is just one more show of ignorance, and dicrimination.
    Accept it or not, we all deserve the same rights, no matter what we do inside the for walls of our bedrooms, beside pedophiles can exist in any sexuality, being gay or being heterosexual, is not a sinonime of abuser, open your mind, being an abuser depends on the breeding that the person had, it does not mean that because the person is gay, he has more chances of becoming into an abuser, study and talk to diferent dotors like i did.

    Axel I was approached by many older homosexual males when i was a child I never gived in because I was sure of my sexual orientation, I speak out of my own experience, and the fact that many males who are homosexuals complain of being abuse, or molested as children, what can you say in their defence regarding this last issue ??
    here is a link to a reports that puts in perspective for us.

    http://www.lifesitenews.com/ldn/2002/may/02053107.html
    “Homosexuality and Child Sexual Abuse” examines the following evidence linking homosexuality to pedophilia:
    * Pedophiles are invariably males: Almost all sex crimes against children are committed by men.
    * Significant numbers of victims are males: Up to one-third of all sex crimes against children are committed against boys (as opposed to girls).
    * The 10 percent fallacy: Studies indicate that, contrary to the inaccurate but widely accepted claims of sex researcher Alfred Kinsey, homosexuals comprise between 1 to 3 percent of the population.
    * Homosexuals are over represented in child sex offenses: Those among the 1 to 3 percent of the population that is sexually attracted to the same sex are committing up to one-third of the sex crimes against children.
    * Some homosexual activists defend the historic connection between homosexuality and pedophilia: Such activists consider the defense of “boy-lovers” to be a legitimate gay rights issue.
    * Pedophile themes abound in homosexual literary culture: Gay fiction as well as serious academic treatises promote “intergenerational intimacy.”

    If you were approached by men when you were a child, that's terrible, and i am solidary with you regarding that, but your statement is still fascist and totally discriminatory, you can't involve every gay men in the same way, obviouslly that there are gay men men who are abusers, in the same way that there are planty of heterosexual guys who are abusers too, but there are also many of them, in both sides who aren't, the fact that a guy becomes into an abuser, depends on the breeding that he had, sexual abusers can exist in any sexuality, you have to open your mind like it or not, beside i repeat that i am gay, and i am not pedophile, i only have sex with adult men, and there are planty of gay and heterosexual guys who are not abusers neather.
