One of Buenos Aires, Argentina’s major daily newspapers, Crónica, has launched a weekly, 16-page gay supplement.
The premiere issue featured a cover photo of the city’s first ‘civil-unioned’ gay couple kissing.
‘I suspect BA is the only city in the world where a major newspaper includes a free gay supplement each week,’ said local activist Tom Hanks.
Buenos Aires began offering gay civil unions on July 18. Registered couples receive spousal rights in areas such as insurance, healthcare, hospital visitation and bank loans.
